    PVC and PEX for Compressed Air

    The newest building at the mfg company I do maintenance work for has the AI-PEX all through it for pneumatic supply. It’s 1” blue, and has all brass fittings. I’d never seen anything like it. It’s impressive stuff and the installation is top notch and I’m sure it was expensive. I’m trying to...

    Where's the weld(s)?

    I just completed a bed rebuild. Mine had two small welds on each post at the bed floor, and seam sealer. I put it back the same way.

    Tires for Stock Rims '79 K20

    Yes, this question has been asked before in similar fashion. I didn’t even consider using the factory 16” wheels my ‘78 came with for anything other than shop rollers. New 17” steel wheels for me, not outrageous on the price, and many more tire options.

    Help me solve a cooling issue. Pic's inside.

    In circle track cars we didn’t use a thermostat. We would use a piece of sheet metal cut round like the Tstat, with a dime size hole in it…

    Vintage air vs. stock dilemma???

    I’m still looking into which direction I want to go with my truck. It’s original compressor and some of the brackets are long gone, they could be somewhere in my dad’s barn but most likely not. I’d want the later style compressor anyway so I’d need to find those brackets also. The outside box...

    Cracked frame/shock mounts help

    My shock mount holes were fine but I added the ORD mounts when I put the lift kit on it, it’s got to help prevent them from wear.

    Storage tray

    When I got my truck from my dad last year it had that type of tray screwed to the back of the cab. It was full of junk, spiders, etc.. and was in badly broken. I tossed it and welded up the holes. If it was in good shape I would have considered keeping it.

    Cracked frame/shock mounts help

    Those outside mounts are to reenforce the existing frame mount holes for the shocks. You’ll need to address the frame holes, add the fish plates, before adding the outside mounts.

    Seat identification

    You can buy blocks of seat foam then custom cut it with an electric turkey carving knife… I know it sounds janky, but it’s actually how seat upholstery guys do it.

    It may not be your windshield antenna.

    I used to repair a lot of home stereo equipment and still do occasionally. Deoxit & FaderLube along with exercising each control is always what I do first, it solves many, many problems

    Gas pedal is too far away for me

    Several years ago I was looking at a really nice all original 67 Chevelle for sale. It had two 1/4” holes in the gas and brake pedals. I knew the guy selling it, he flips really nice cars. When I asked about the holes he opened the trunk. Laying there were two pieces of wood, they were about...

    So can someone tell me . . .

    I believe every factory wheel I’ve seen had a stamping for size somewhere on it.
