    How much are these parts worth?

    I sold the whole front frame section (cut I front of front cab mounts, complete minus steering box) from an 85 C10 about 5 years ago for $150. Sold it to some guys that were going to put the setup under a 60s Chevy pickup, as it’s a nearly bolt in upgrade to give 5 lug and disc brakes. If I...

    NEW Brothers Dash Bezels - CHEAP

    Non ac does not have any dash vents, above the hvac controls on a non a/c truck is a little cubby, to the lower left of the bezel also lacks a hole for an vent, unlike on an A/C truck that has vents in both places.

    Thank you, I’m a machinist/toolmaker by trade, the automotive stuff is just a hobby.

    Harbor Freight Table and carts

    I had picked one up recently as well. Already has been serving is intended purpose, being a crash cart trying to keep stuff from piling on the lift runways and such. Then wheel back to the toolbox(es) Really solid value.

    Huck's daily - 2005 Z71 crewcab

    Those specific photos were with the backlash corrected with each change. When making the initial change I left the shims the same for the carrier to see where it was, then corrected. On the 14b SF it uses a screw type adjuster on the driver's side, so only dealing with shims on one side of the...

    Huck's daily - 2005 Z71 crewcab

    Here is the 14b SF for reference- Very distinct movements. Motive gear set, 3.73 if that is any factor. It’s done about 1000 miles so far including dyno runs, 330hp to the tires iirc. No noise. With your two mile test I do not believe any appreciable wear has taken place. People that run a...

    Huck's daily - 2005 Z71 crewcab

    I wonder if you ran into a “false positive” sort of situation. Your early/initial setup(s) did not appear to be wildly off, visually at least. Looking back at my notes from the 14b sf I did, started at .02, it was decent, went to .03 was clearly deep, went to .025 was still clearly deep...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thank you, it manages to hide most of the ugly pretty well. Really the main problem is the front cab mounts are basically completely gone, passenger side is barely intact and the drivers side is gone to the point the body mount bolt is pushing on the floor. Which it had these issues back when...

    Huck's daily - 2005 Z71 crewcab

    Your carrier preload should be ok based on the increase in rotational drag. I’m at a loss too on this. I’m hesitant to say the noise is from the gears themselves (not that the gears are not the source of the noise, rather that even with a textbook perfect setup they would still make the noise)...

    Whip antenna for CB on a Suburban

    @Matt69olds sounds like an opportunity to put up a 40 foot tower... My grandfathers setup. I ended up with all his CB stuff after he passed (except for the tower). I've got his Ranger 2995dx base station setup in my room but just a dipole in the attic.

    Use the three line pump, having a return system is better than a deadheaded system.

    Replacement Panels - All Created Equal - Yes or No?

    AMD (Auto Metal Direct) is going to be the best typically. They have put a significant investment into making parts for these trucks that are a big step above the old crash parts that have been available. With that said I done most of the rust repair on the 79 before AMD was offering what they...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Moved the 76 back into the shop, it was hanging out in a friend’s unit while we did the work on his Dodge. Pulled it on the lift and took a look underneath. Keep in mind this truck was daily driven from 2017 to early 2023. I really was not great about washing it, so the salt got to it...

    1976 C30 dump - wheel cylinder

    Should be as @PrairieDrifter stated, a 14b FF if it is a cab and chassis truck. 70s 3/4 and 1 ton SRW got a 14b FF, as did the 1 ton C&C trucks. Only 1 ton dually pickups got a Dana 70HD rear.

    Exhaust Question

    $221.00 from Summit for manifold back dual kit Just pick your offset in/out mufflers. But a nice single exhaust isn't bad either. You could fab up an all stainless side pipe exhaust. ;) Was about $400 to do that with me fabbing everything up. Pipes, mufflers, bends, flex, vee bands. Not...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The cat off of the 79 was full of rust I guess, it was heavy, brought it to the local recycler, I feel like they kind of just make up a number, one person looks at it (no weighing or inspecting), says let me talk to the manager, comes back a couple minutes later. $140 for it, sure. That was...

    Exhaust collectors for manifolds

    Very good point. My 76 has been open headers a couple times, most recently was when I fitted the “new” headers and before I started on making the side pipes. Just moving it around the shop it had no low end at all, pathetic really. Scavenging is real kids, it makes big difference, not only...
