    Door Speaker Enclosure

    We use sweatshirt/hoodie material for sub/speaker enclosures, a little thicker than a tshirt and forms a little smoother over corners/edges. Like where your headed with this project though.

    Old Honda Motorcycles.

    Used to have an '81 CB450, and an '82 CB650. The 450 I sold to a kid who made a cafe racer out of it, and the 650 to a buddy who still rides it.

    what gears should I run in my 3/4 ton lifted gmc?

    I run 4.10s and 35s with a T350 & NP205....screams at highway speed, around 2600-2700 rpm. I can spin the tires easily on gravel, even in 4wd, with a basic unadulterated 350 4bbl.

    Are all 5.3's the Same?

    The older 5.3s are great for swaps as they are cable operated throttle bodys. The 243 heads are the ones to look for. The 4.8 pistons do fit the 5.3, they use them in the H.O. 5.3(L33), it ups your compression to 11:1 Iirc.

    2 ?s did 74 jimmy come with a dana44?

    It came with a D44 up front and a 12 bolt in the back, I had a '74. Unless you swap to manual lockouts or have a manual(or got really lucky) you'll always be running in 4wd as they came with a NP203 transfer case.

    anyone running the blue dots in their tails?

    I have them in mine. I like the look, looks good in the stepside models too IMO. I get lots of younger guys ask me what they are.

    Sea foam ... cleaner

    I use it every other oil change in the crank case. I tried it in the fuel(on my '76)and ended up needing to replace fuel filter with all the nasty stuff it dislodged . Run it every 6 months thru my '01s fuel system, and use it in my motorcycle and quad.

    Manual Hubs

    I'm with Bucket. I do suggest taking them apart and servicing them. I just did that to mine today and found cracks in the one housing and a broken turn knob on other side. Hubs are often overlooked when it comes to scheduled maintenance.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I put ammeter onto battery with a buddy and went circuit by circuit removing them until drain ceased. Turned out to be my cb radio, amp and p.a speaker. Somehow it was left on and was firing up the amp to the p.a.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Started driving it daily, spent a couple hours trying to figure out where the vampuric battery drain was coming from.

    how easy is converting 2WD to 4WD (88 C30 3+3)

    Clancy has been uber busy with work, I havent seen him posting anywhere for a while.

    V Drive 4 wheel drive Van

    IIRC that's the Dana "V" drive system that never caught on. It was designed to allow the van to retain independent front suspension while adding 4wd capability. They (automakers) made like 1200+ units but decided it wasn't a worthwhile investment. 4WOR or another 4wd mag had one of these vans...

    must have modern creature comforts?

    Command start - I live in Canada where it gets damn cold! Cupholders - not the ones that go in ashtray either Auto door locks - cause reaching across truck gets old 6L80 trans - fuel milage increase The rest of the truck was built right from the factory, no fancy options.

    R3500 bed/box

    Measure your wheel base and compare it to factory short and longbox wheelbases. If it matches one you've got your answer, if not you may have to fabricate an extension to/reduce a box size to get it to match up. Thats where I'd start anyway.

    Suspension and Tires are killing me

    I run 35s on a 3'' body lift with no issues of rubbing off road.

    mud truck exhaust

    Don't do zoomies, you'll lose low end power. IMO go with truck pull headers (schoenfeld or the like) 4 into 1 with flappers.

    The GMT 800 Silverado SS was AWD...try looking into the drivetrain from one of those.

    CB Radio Mounting

    Take 1 1/2" strap steel and bend it in a U- shape to fit around the radio and mount it upright along the front of seat in center. We used to do that in the farm trucks all the time.
