    Floorboard Thickness

    I am going to need to patch a couple spots in my floorboard. The holes are small and not really worth buying a whole floorpan. Does anyone know what thickness these floor pans are so I can get some at the metal shop and make a couple small patches? Also anyone had issues with these little plugs...

    Shock Extenders for 4" Drop?

    Are you both saying it's best to buy drop shocks for a 4" drop in the rear? I may be able to get them in the kit I end up ordering as well. That could make this whole process a bit simpler I suppose. I am not really sold on those "extenders" anyway as it seems you would lose a lot of ground...

    Super excited!!!

    My truck has those big mirrors too. You can really see behind you in them. I will probably leave them on my truck for that reason and leaving them be is cheaper and easier than changing them.

    Shock Extenders for 4" Drop?

    Hey, I have been shopping around for a drop kit for my truck and was thinking about the 2.5/4 kit from Western Chassis. Spindles and hanger/shackle. I was curious about the rear shocks though. I have read you can use the stock shocks on a flip kit rear with extenders in place but should the...

    SBC 350 with new cam will not start, only pops a couple times then nothing.

    I read this and cringed. If you installed a flat tappet cam all that cranking couldn't have been good for it. Follow the break in procedure if you can. I had a cam in my garage that looked like a broomstick except for a couple lobes that survived as a reminder to break them in right. Less than...

    Leaf Spring Bushings

    Any reason to go Energy Suspension over Prothane? Looks the same but the Prothanes are a bit cheaper. This is what I found on Jegs. http://www.jegs.com/i/Prothane/311/7-1001-BL/10002/-1?ymm=4294829822+4294829791+4294829790 3 of these...

    Well it sounds like black is the way to go. Seems they are cheaper than the oe ones anyway in some places. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Leaf Spring Bushings

    In my endless search for how to fix my truck I have run upon a situation that I would like some opinions on. I initially planned to replace all my old worn out rubber bushings with new poly ones from the energy master kit. I have since thought maybe this isn't the right plan and here is why. I...

    Patch panel welding

    I use a Hobart handler 140. It does the job but I am no pro. I can tell it's much better than a flux core welder though.

    That is a pretty good write up. If we are missing pictures though it may get even better once those are fixed!
