    Engine runs hot

    For some reason I was thinking the single electric fan was added with the stock fan in place. I've seen that a lot.

    Engine runs hot

    I'll throw my two cents in, a thirty plus year old radiator is most certainly clogged. And you do need a shroud. My 84 and 86 both had original radiators and both were clogged as hell. I found good aluminum three row units at a good price and fixed two trucks. If your truck has a fan clutch...

    Camshaft Install/Rocker Adjustment How-To?

    Sounds good. I broke in a fully rebuilt 355 a couple years ago the same way, used more additive though on the break in oil. 7k on the engine now, running well. Another 350 I have was using, not leaking a qt of Castrol full syn every 500 or so miles. I switched it over to Rotella T4 10W40 and it...

    Camshaft Install/Rocker Adjustment How-To?

    I was reading about the T-4 zinc debate on another forum and a rep from Gulf was chiming in. He said all T4 products still had the same amount of zddp, 12ppm. Hi @samert111, we can assure you that our new T4 formulation contains the same amount of zinc (around 1200ppm). �The Shell Rotella Team...

    Cab Bolt Diameter and Length!?

    I can answer the last part of your question. LMC lists one kit for 73-87 trucks.

    Dude I'm 58 years old! I watched The Jerk when it came out at a theater that was demolished over twenty years ago. I don't remember much about it. I don't like Fop, I'm a Dapper Dan man! lol.

    AC bracket manifold bolt

    I'll look for the NC brand. We have some ball end mill bits for our milling deck but I'll be buying some for personal use. I just never heard of using them in a hand drill. BAMM!

    Autozone 40th Anniversary SquareBody trucks

    I thought I remembered one but a search didn’t pull it up. Didn’t it have gifts in the bed or maybe that was a Ford.

    Autozone 40th Anniversary SquareBody trucks

    Maybe Hallmark will step up. They do some nicely detailed trucks for ornaments but not a SquareBody yet. I remember a 55 Chevy pickup and a Dodge Lil Red Wagon that I think are still available.

    Just kidding around man, I noticed the jacked up bed right away, and it looks lowered with a bit of tail drag!

    AC bracket manifold bolt

    Damn good advice, I'm in industrial maintenance and deal with broken bolts way to much. Going to find those end mill bits right now.

    Help Me Settle This!

    I'd say that unless the time for labor means nothing you should pass, hell I could easily buy that pile but with my work schedule it would just be another stalled project like my 85 K10 that I keep buying stuff for.

    AC bracket manifold bolt

    I had to use a piece of grade eight all-thread and a jamb nut in the middle when that happened once. I was told you could get them through a dealer but haven't confirmed it.
