    What new tools have you got lately?

    I had an old Lawnboy in our machine shed for many years. My late mother, God rest her soul, decided one day to put it out for a scrap drive. I was not happy!!

    So far, it has been excellent. I don't get to drive it much unfortunately. My kid has it most of the time.

    Looks a lot like the '21 I picked up last fall.

    Spot Blaster

    I have that exact one from Harbor Freight. Works OK for what it is. Just make sure that your media is dry and you have a dryer in your air supply and it will work fine.

    Found a K30 on CL

    My neighbor has a K30 sitting behind his house. It was a former local fire truck that he removed the service bed and installed a standard DRW bed. It has sat for probably 5 years in the same spot. Kills me to see it rotting away like that. But, you can't even talk to him about it. It's...

    Drug Another One Home!!!

    Congratulations. I'm obviously very biased, but there is nothing better than the look of a short bed C10.

    Help with diesel tractor engine miss

    I'm not referring to base timing. I'm talking about the injection pump internal timing. Unless your pump is completely different than I think it is, it has to be assembled back exactly as it was when it came apart. There is a timing procedure for the pump itself that has to be followed if...

    Help with diesel tractor engine miss

    What you have is an injection pump timing issue. I don't know your pump off the top of my head. But you should be able to find the procedure in the Perkins manual for your pump. You may even be able to find a video on YouTube to help.

    Did it have the same issue before the rebuilt injection pump?

    What new tools have you got lately?

    The most boring tool purchase ever. At least I was good and left Harbor Freight with exactly the one item I was going for....lol

    The Electric Vette is Near

    I've owned a Corvette for 25 years. My interest in the new ones stopped with the new mid-engine platform.

    My teenager's first small block build

    Quick update to this thread. It is now April 11th and I still don't have my block back from the machine shop or even any update on its status. I called Saturday and left a message asking if they had an update and they have not called back yet. Keep in mind that I dropped it off November 15th.

    Swaping engine internals opinions, and does this look bad to you?

    OK. I'm going to give you some really bad advice here. So, please ignore. When I was a kid, I watched my father go down to Fat Martins junk yard just down the road from us, pick a used piston out of a pile of junk, check it with a micrometer, bring it home, slap new rings on it, install it in...

    Insurance

    We have the ability to use USAA for our vehicles but have found that their rates aren't as good as what we get with our current company. I'll be interested to hear what they come back with for your quote.

    Pricing on Engines

    Just a side note concerning rebuilds. I don't know about your areas, but the machine shops around here are backed up beyond comprehension. I dropped off a bare block for machining on November 15th and here it is almost mid April and they still don't have it done. At least here, you can't have...

    Insurance

    I can't speak for State Farm or any of the big companies, but I have my fleet insurance through Erie Insurance Group and my Square with American Collectors. Erie will insure my C10 with no issue, but my agent strongly recommends that I don't go with a standard policy and to keep my truck on the...

    Weld or Panel Adhesive?

    I did rockers on one of my Rams last year with adhesive. I'm very happy with the results.

    Some cool cars I worked on in my old life.

    My cousin Den always had a couple of them out in Sacramento. I'd be lying to you if I can remember what year and model they were. '60's vintage I believe. He recently passed away. I'm not sure what became of his cars.

    Need honest quote for this truck, not a I know what I have?

    Good gracious. I'd buy something like that for $1500 all day long every day. Even with the cost of shipping, I could double my money without laying a wrench on that thing here in PA. I'd fix it and drive it personally. But, you all have no idea what us rust belt people would do to find...

    Wanted: 1979 Copper/Brass Radiator

    There's something like a 2 week window in June where I will be out of the area. Other than that, I will be here. If it would happen to hit during that time, I'll make arrangements for someone else to meet you.
