    Precision windshield gasket too big

    Truck is finally out of paint, the shop had a glass company come to install the windshield. I had ordered a Precision gasket set that is definitely the correct one for the truck. The glass guy (old school, been doing this a long time) says that the gasket is way too big. I found a couple threads...

    It's like trying to get out of a toxic relationship. You know it's the smart thing to do to get out, but you've put in so much time together, maybe there's a chance it'll all work out.

    Center dash speaker options?

    That's a factory double-din hole which makes sense if your truck is a '91.

    76 C10 Fuel Tank Vent

    I don't have one either, just a vent with rollover valve. Parked in the garage with no stink.

    Saddle tank delete with carburation

    I did this with a 31 gallon plastic Blazer tank. The 40 gallon tank is the same footprint, its just deeper so it hangs down lower. This is on a EFI application (1981 C-10 frame). Had to remove the crossmemeber for the spare tire carrier, and add a new crossmember to support the tank. I also...

    Exactly! That would solve all of this. Just be upfront from the beginning.

    USA1 Industries

    That was me. And to be clear, they only shipped mine when they did because I filed a complaint with the North Carolina attorney general's consumer protection division. They were given 10 days to respond. Magically, on the 10th day, they shipped.

    Headlights flicker and radio cuts out when driving over a bump

    The fusible link needs to be a smaller gauge than the wire it's protecting so that it fails first.

    Stamps or tubes

    It's not just the bushings, the stamped steel arms deflect and the tubular control arms don't. I used Performance Online brand and am very happy with them. However, they made bazillions of these trucks with stamped steel control arms and they work just fine. Depends on what you want out of your...

    Is this the original bed on my 85 Chevy k10

    Not original bed. As stated, you would have a square filler, not round. And that tailgate is 1973-1980 tailgate.

    Heater core requirement for new engine install break-in/ test?

    No issue at all. When I did the same thing (with possibly the same motor, the GM SP350, 357 HP?) I joined the hoses that normally go to and from the heater core together using an adapter for the two different hose sizes. When it came time for the Vintage Air install, I added coolant and burped...

    Vent Window/Back Window Questions

    Having Precision refurb mine was possibly the best money I spent on my build. They did a 10x better job than I ever could have. https://www.prp.com/

    Jegs Wiring harness versus Painless Wiring Harness

    I've used both Painless and American Autowire. I was much happier with the American Autowire harness. But no they're not cheap.

    USA1 Industries

    Low and behold, 68 weeks after ordering my door panels, they arrived today. Not to give credit where credit is not due, this was the result of some legal encouragement for them to produce. So USA1, just TELL PEOPLE WHEN THEY ORDER it could be a year or more. Your product is awesome, your...

    '84 bedside sheet steel stock gauge?

    Where are you ordering from? I don't know the stock gauge but I got a whole new long bed from LMC and I was actually impressed with the quality of the metal compared to original.
