    Just fish'n...maybe

    Evening group, Well my C10 is for the unsalted season and my winter truck(02 taco w/250k+) is starting to make me question how much is left. Parts are becoming unavailable, even from the dealer. I've had it since day 1 and the only shop time it's had was for a frame recall. I've done all the...

    Roached FIS0

    Had a chance to pick up a 92 f150. What sparked my interest was the 300 and 5 speed. My 88 was the same config and that truck could pull a house. So.... Went to check it out. It had never spent a day in a garage and the green/blue had mostly left. (Great petina) The interior was a mouse house...

    This can't be good....

    Refresh in near future

    With just under 100K in the clock, it's been slow leaking motor oil out front and rear crank ends....and maybe oil pan...hard to tell with crank leak. This is going to be a solo effort.

    Those wind/rain deflector thingys...

    Last year I got a set of those smoke tinted window things. Read the instructions and carefully positioned them, just right, before peeling off the sticky tape backing. This truck has no A/C so it's always windows down and vents out to the stops....that is until the wing windows now hit those...

    Front shocks still too squishy...help.

The rear end is fine. This is a Big 10 with heavy suspension. All original. No lower or lift kit. I...
