    First time replacing intake manifold gaskets

    While daunting to any first timer, a manifold job is not as precise as is work with most of the rest of the engine. Drain some coolant off before you start so you don't put a bunch of coolant in the oil via the valve train area, like half a gallon at least. That way when the intake comes off it...

    Radiator Leaking

    Corbin clamps for the win. I prefer the wide band style over the wire style, but it beats those damned screw clamps backing off.

    Heater not very hot

    Not sure Sid if reversing the hoses to the heater core would change much, all else being correct and equal. Simply feeling both heater hoses when everything is up to temp and set to make cab heat should show how much heat drop is going on. One hose should be a little cooler than the other, not a...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Another thing Doug that occurred to me after reading this is that it's practically impossible to determine the thickness remaining in the material used to make the cooling passages/fins and tanks. Meaning, it's not unheard of to solder one leaky area to only have another paper thin spot decide...

    Springs or Spindles?

    I'm of the opinion that drop spindles are the better way, because it retains the rest of the capacity and geometry of stock. Short or weak springs seems reckless at best. I could be wrong.

    Sliding Window Restoration Tips Please?

    I'm waiting for the single pane version to come back in stock from whoever makes them. I like this better, probably because it's modern.

    HELP WITH WHEEL AND TIRE SET UP

    I wish more guys were slamming 3/4 & 1 tons. I want to lower the c20 some and still keep the usefulness of a truck. I am sick of lifting everything up higher than my decrepitness allows, plus it would be nice to improve handling too. This truck won't be seeing 20's or anything so fancy, but it...

    Weird intake vacuum looking thingy maybe

    That's an emissions system thermal vacuum valve. A set of vacuum lines are attached that will switch duties depending on the temperature of the coolant.

    Help me decide, paint the camper shell light blue or dark blue

    They were tinting fiberglass, right? Or was it strictly paint? I don't know because I had a 72 Bronco and it was painted steel.

    Wanna slam that 63-98 C10/C1500? Lets talk about it!

    I didn't think one could get the stub shaft separated once the knuckle was cast. I can't imagine that is an easy connection to sever.

    Help me decide, paint the camper shell light blue or dark blue

    But, didn't Blazers come out with white tops? My memory, skewed and as fornicated as it is, can't remember seeing a body color match come from the factory.

    Wanna slam that 63-98 C10/C1500? Lets talk about it!

    Are you able to spin it to specs at home or (hopefully) you have an accomplished machinist within a few hours drive? What a bucket of fuckerydoo.

    Drivers side firewall?

    Maybe it's like that to help out the assembly line in production? Like some sort of reference point to clamshell the floor into the cab... or structural support for the pedal assembly. I've not paid that part of the truck much attention yet.
