    6.2 diesel loosing 12v on the IP shutoff solenoid

    Don't forget about where the harness goes thru the firewall or the switch on the steering column.

    Where to get pre-bent fuel lines?

    On my 2005 I replaced the fuel lines with the nylon/plastic/hdpe/un-obtainium or whatever that material is. Just a thought.

    Body Work

    I've purchased from several different suppliers and found about the same quality with each. What I did find was the difference in shipping costs.

    Gas Gauge woes

    Your fuel gauge issue may not be related to needle bumping. Google "GM fuel gauge troubleshooting" and start there. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, he eats for life.

    Question about wood bed stain and sealer for my 1987 Stepside

    My '37 has boiled linseed oil on both sides, not always under cover and still in decent condition.

    hood ding repair

    Grinding and filling the dings would be the least expensive, mig the cracks with .023 solid core wire & Ar/Co2 gas, or replace the hood.

    another 16.5 post

    16.5's are still available from Firestone to name one, some for trucks, more for trailers and lots for skid steers. My '74 had 16.5's with one piece rims.

    Do I need new door hinges, springs, or pins/bushings?

    The fenders can stay on. You'll need a floor jack, short chunk of 2x4 and a helper to steady the unhinged door while installing the replacement hinges.

    Manifold vacuum Tee

    If it's not a 100 point restoration, sometimes the plumbing department at a local hardware or big box store will have something that will work.

    Do I need new door hinges, springs, or pins/bushings?

    My vote also is for new hinges, both upper & lower. I never could understand the thinking on the thru the dash hinge bolt. My '55.1 has that setup for the hood hinges.

    Bent clutch linkage

    Is that pivot ball bent, or are the threads in the block F'd up?

    frame difference

    If you can salvage the cab mounts off of the p/u frame and use them on the sub's frame it should work. Use the fuel tank from the sub, make a flat bed and your good to go.

    Another oil pressure gauge thread

    You might consider "T-ing" in for a mechanical gauge for testing.

    electric switch on shifter, need ideas

    Does the switch have to be on the column? What about using a floor mounted headlight high/low beam switch? Could even wire up an indicator light.

    Making headers fit

    That don't look right. I've never seen an adapter plate that would make those fit. Are they correct for the engine/heads? I'd find a SBC iron head to verify the spacing.

    New oilpan + one piece gasket help

    I used the one piece gasket on my 350 with no issues. Something might be interfering with the oil pan, maybe the pump and/or pick-up?

    Lower control arm

    What's wrong with the one you have? Bushings & ball joints?

    '83 K10 / 350 / SM465: shuddering from first and a nasty sound under load

    My vote is to replace the clutch. Stay away from the three finger style pressure plate and the hockey puck type of disc, also replace the pilot bushing. Should I have recommended to dump the clutch?

    Ignition cylinder replacement

    There's a lot of u-tube videos about "GM steering column key replacement issues" that may be easier to follow then written instructions.
