    What size press (12 or 20 ton) for automotive

    Nut up for the 20. You'll be mad as he'll if you need those extra 8000# and the difference in price is negligible.

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Oh boy I finally got to post to this thread! When you need pliers to remove your exhaust. Betcha didn't know that you used pliers to remove your exhaust, did you. Lisle claims to do exactly that. I've always liked Lisle... I haven't treated myself to a whimsical tool in far too long. I hope I...

    What did you pay for a square

    Now, that's what I'm talking about! How many times have you been somewhere and needed a little help with gravity trying to load something? That makes my noggin start twirling about with ideas for the back of the c20. I like the idea of "help".

    Yup, we're in the part of the solar cycle where the higher hf bands (CB) are allowing more propagation (skip). It's a blast!

    Cant say personally if it was factory, but my '79 has them. The rubber needs attention, but the truck is 44 this year. Its 'Magnum' year. So there is that. The ones we are all referring to here are absolutely gorgeous.

    After market seatbelts are expensive... looking for other ideas

    I remember many moons ago a thousand miles away a U pull it kind of place with a huge wall of seat belts. Categorized by size and color. It was quite the thing, and I bet the safety nationalsocialists have done away with such a thing these days. Do you know the lengths and ends you need?

    New to me truck/ what should i go through and look at

    Rubber articles. I mean that to include things like fuel line rubber, where the steel lines transition to short hoses for the win. Flexible brake lines are another as well as brake caliper/wheel cylinder/master cylinder units for seepage. Vacuum lines are another fun place for a leak, including...

    Had this one going on 40 years now. That other one looks like a needle to inflate rubber balls.

    Rear diff weirdness

    I would also be curious to see how much play there is in the pinon to ring gear. Something else to consider/inspect for searching the cause of the noise.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I went by yesterday and emptied the Dry-Z-Air. Sat in the seat and let out a massive sigh. Almost two years on the new tags and not a single revolution of anything.
