    Rear frame support/crossmember on 2wd

    Ok, so heard something that had me spooked a bit today. Took a turn on an incline and heard a bang like something threw a baseball into the side of the truck bed. Pulled over and found one of the rear supports between the frame rails was broken, assuming that was the noise I had heard. Quick...

    73 C10 with Simulated Vinyl Roof YG3

    Saw this down in Alabama and it's a very cool looking rig with some pretty rare options. First thing that caught my eye was the drip rails. Almost makes me wish I was closer. Might call my sister and brother in-law in Huntsville and see if they want to take a ride out that way for me lol...

    Trans fluid in 3 speed Saginaw

    Ok guys, need some help from the guru's here. Looking to swap the fluid in my trans this weekend. But unfortunately the owners manual and the interwebs haven't been much help tbh. I know some of the older trans use to run 80w-90 gear oil and some of the 4 speeds at one time were using Dexron II...

    Phantom Billet Grille emblem...anybody done this before?

    Hey all, quick question for anybody who has, or had, a phantom billet grille. Looking for an OEM style bowtie badge for the grille.

    Wheel center caps for 3.75" bore

    So I installed the Turbines but absolutely not a fan of the rather large center bore in these babies. Mic'd them out to a 3.75" center bore and now I'm looking at center caps to make it a bit more appealing. Found a set on the Lug Nut Guys website here that will fit, but have a chrome finish...

    Reverse light options

    I've been doing some research but nobody has really discussed this here, so here it goes... My 83 stepside was originally a 4.1 and a 3 speed Saginaw on the tree and has been moved to a floor shift. Yes I know the backup switch is on the column, but need an option to move the functionality to...

    Master cylinder ID help needed

    So a little back info on what I've got. 83 Stepside that was originally a 4.1 I6 3 on the tree. PO swapped the 4.1 for a mild build 350 sbc and moved the column shifter to the floor. Appears that the PO, or one of them, had intentions of hot rodding it and did some funky stuff. Won't get into...
