    Big Block Exhaust Manifold

    I couldn't wait until I do the rebuild/restoration of my truck. Exhaust leaks were hellacious! The passenger side manifold has seen better days. If I remember correctly, isn't the passenger/right side manifold the same as cars and 2wd vehicles.

    Delay Wiper Module

    My wipers have been acting goofy for awhile now, only in the intermittent position. Has anyone found a source or possibly someone that can repair the module. It looks like the 78-83 delay modules are like trying to find hens teeth.

    Is it time to scrap the 16.5" wheels?

    I've run 35 12.5 16.5 BFG AT's for a long time, they look to be out of production now. The very limited brands of tires with an AT tread are scary expensive! I've had my eyes open for some type of 17" rims, no luck so far. The H2 wheels seem to be reasonable price and plentiful, still not sure...

    Cardboard thing behind seat.

    Has anyone bought a reproduction cardboard shelf behind seat? Also do you have kind of storage behind your seat, especially you could put a handgun or rifle in, or whatever. Most things I put behind the seat ends up under the seat.

    I've looked at several brands on interior plastic/vinyl dyes. A few looked way off! Does anyone have experience with a specific brand that seems to match well? 1983 saddle, tan, what ever else they call it.

    Beef up the Bench

    I recently acquired a decent tan cloth bench seat for my truck. While doing a basic cleaning and lube the tracks, notice some broken wires on the grid deal under the foam. Found a couple places with aftermarket replacements. USA 1 Interiors listed a grid, after 3 unanswered emails, I order one...

    Frame undercarriage prep and paint

    I'm starting my K20/M1008 frame refurbishing. It will see some winter road salt and crap, although I usually can get it rinsed off fairly quick. Want it to look nice, it's not a show truck. Planning on using a satin or semigloss black, maybe gloss on the axles. I've used POR15 and Rustolum Pro...

    Shorty BB Headers??

    I've been looking for some shorty or mid length headers for my 83 K20. Have not found anything from the popular manufacturers. Has anyone tried Chevelle or some other application, or found a small company that makes them. Suppose I could build my own if I wanted them badly enough. Owned it...

    J code 6.2 value ?

    I bought a 1984 M1008 a few years ago. I want to use the frame and axles to build a nice K30 single wheel pickup. It has very low miles and runs great. I started asking $1200 for the engine now down to $800 and also offered to throw in the TH400 and the NP208 tcase and offered to take trades...
