    Going Poly

    I replaced my rear spring bushings this past weekend. The job went pretty well. The old bushings looked like they were original. These two were the last ones that I had to do. The trucks suspension has been redone front and back. With the new shocks and all the other work she rides better then...

    New Shocks

    I replaced the old Rough Country Shocks out for Skyjackers. The RC shocks were over 10 years old they were a good shock. They were gas charged. They rode rough. IMO they are much better suited for off road use. The Skyjackers ride a bit smoother. They are a Hydro shock only. Thats the reason I...

    Head Light Bezels

    I was wondering if the GMC and the Chevy bezels are the same. They look like it from the pics in the LMC catalog. I am thinking of buying the chrome ones for a 4 light GMC truck . I have a Chevy. I had painted mine black , but they are peeling and look like junk.

    79 K-10

    I found a picture of my stepdad's 79. He had it set up for surf fishing. We would fish at Indian River inlet in DE. We also took some trips to NC and the Outter Banks. We fished for Blue fish and Speckled Trout. Fun times. I was 12 to 14 years old then.

    Rear Leaf Spring Bushings

    I replaced the rear leaf spring bushings awhile back. :cool:Here are some pics of the job. I still need to do the front rear spring bushings. That looks like a difficult job to do with the springs still on the truck. I replaced the stock shackles with ORD and their greaseable bushings. On the...

    Meet Betty

    She has been in the family for 14 years. I am the third owner. I bought it from a neighbor. My son abused her through high school. It was originally a 305 with a 700R4. It had a 350 in it when I bought it. That motor blew a head gasket while I was driving it, so I bought a new Chevy 250 HP...

    ORD sway bar disconnect

    I installed these a while back along with new spring bushings, and all new ball joints etc. I added the cover for its look. The stock steel cover is actually thicker and would resist rock damage better.

    ORD Rear Spring Shackle Install

    I got around to installing one of these this past weekend. Everything went smooth except for the removal of the outer stock bushing steel. it had grown as one with the spring eye. I used Energy Suspension bushings for the top eye. The hole in the bracket and the steel sleeve for the bushing had...

    Say no to Cracks

    I installed the ORD bolt in steering box and frame brace this past weekend. The install is pretty straight forward. The install does require drilling a hole in the cross member and grinding the holes out on the existing factory bracket. The ORD part is heavy gauge plate that is nicely welded...

    Windshield Wiper Harness

    Good morning everyone. Has anybody found a vender that sells a replacement connecter for the windshield wiper motor assy. I have been having issues with my wipers for a long time. I have even attached a separate ground from the wiper motor to a bolt on the fire wall. It's hit or miss if they...

    Intermittent Starting Problems

    I had an intermittent starting problem for a few weeks. I haven't been daily driving the truck for a while. With the summer finally over here in Texas I was wanting to drive it to work. I use it for doing the dirty work at home and it's the high-water vehicle. On several occasions it would start...
