Vintage Air Gen V (5) or replace existing compressor, etc., for 1987 R20 Suburban?
Vintage Air does make a quality product and from my limited personal experience their customer service is decent. I recently did some electrical troubleshooting on a couple cars with Vintage Air and their schematics were well drawn, their product is good quality. However, starting with your... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I got my window motor from O'Reilly's Auto Parts. I just checked and they stock Dorman regulators which are about as close to OE as I have found. They are around $62 here, close to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I don't know if you have O'Reilly's up where you live but they can usually get anything... -

Let's see those 4x4 Squares On Dirt!
I have been looking at Engineered Vintage very, very hard. They seem to make an excellent product. My issue with a Behind the Bumper mount is that I will have to get down on my hands and knees each time I need to engage/disengage and each time I need to connect/disconnect the remote wire...- Redfish

Two bad new oil pressure sensors? Tell me I am wrong.
The sensor shouldn't need a separate ground. They didn't come from the factory that way, why change it now? I personally had two oil pressure sensors go bad on my truck with very little run time on either. You can see how new this one looks and it was already bad.- Redfish

Is that a hidden winch in the bumper of your red Chevy? If so can you tell us what mount and what winch?- Redfish

What have you done to your square lately??
The second thing I did was install a new Skyjacker steering damper. I installed a no-name O'Reilly's damper when I first got The Truck but it is already leaking all of its oil and y'all know I don't put a lot of miles on this Old Truck. The pic shows my next project, a set of Skyjacker Hydro... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I did a couple things to it. One I am not exactly proud of but it's only temporary. I installed a saddle blanket seat cover. It actually matches pretty well. I am ashamed to admit that I like it. I always figured that these things were for rednecks that were too broke to have their seat... -

Does anyone make 17" aluminum 4x4 Rally wheels?
sorry, been busy. Those are the factory Rally Wheels for a 1/2 ton 4wd. Someone else may know better than me but I think they are 15x8. The tires are 33x12.50. I try to share what I did to my truck without telling other folks "You MUST do the same thing I did!" I wanted this truck to look...- Redfish

Does anyone make 17" aluminum 4x4 Rally wheels?
They are not made in aluminum. The rally wheels were steel, painted silver with a stainless trim ring and chrome center caps. Anything aluminum would not have the trim ring. This is a factory rally wheel:- Redfish

Biggest jobs you have completed in the shortest amount of time.
I sure hope you mean transmission... But either way it's okay. We don't judge or kink shame here! -
My wife is small and is pregnant
Thank you! No Sir, the bolts should not have any effect on rust IF the rust is just light surface rust and IF you take decent care of the metal. What you see on my truck is really light and is due to the original owner driving on gravel roads. I hope to be able to paint The '87 in the next...- Redfish

Truck pulls to the right.
My bet would be a bad caliper. Getting quality replacement parts these days is a hit and miss proposition. When I replaced my front calipers I returned 2 left side calipers before I got one that worked properly. -

@idahovette and @bucket I forgot to post this one. I think this one is a little older than the Impalas you guys like but it was still a fantastic car. -
Exhaust question
Any decent muffler/exhaust shop should be able to do pretty much anything you want. I know we are all individuals and we all like different things...but why would you want to do that? Many years ago there was a trend/fad to run large, chrome, slash tips straight out the back under the rear...- Redfish

I will not pretend to know more than either of you on this one. The Impala was so perfect that I would bet it had the original engine. I am almost positive there was nothing on the breather cover to identify it because we were looking for something to tell us what motor it had. I should... -

Okay, I went back and edited my post. Dammit... We were trying to decide what size motor was in the car. I was thinking possibly a 327. Nothing we could find on the car told us what it was, obviously it was a small block. It definitely had the 2 speed PowerGlide Transmission which they put... -

This '67 1966 Impala SS really captured my attention. This car was in superb condition. Still had the glass bottle of windshield washer fluid in the bracket under the hood. I know a few of you have a thing for the Impalas of the '60s, I thought about @bucket and a few others when I saw this...
