SFV mechanic rec's
You may not have the right jackstands. I have 4 sets ranging in size and like Huck say's I trust the stands more than a lift. I also have cribbing if I am going to do long term work. That's as safe as you can go.- Bennyt

SFV mechanic rec's
The SFV was once the mecca for the car culture but it's been deteriorating with the smog laws and such. Hard to believe that it's reduced to the point that there is a dearth of shops that cater to classics there. Used to be you could find 20 shops in Chatsworth on Canoga. Even TO BLVD in TO had...- Bennyt

Glove box lock
I didn't buy either new, but my '89 Jimmy(K5) and '90 CC both had glove box locks when I bought them. I would find it odd that both had been modified in that way and that so many I have come across have locks. I believe the glove box light option came a long in the late 80's. Possibly there was... -

C10 lift kit?? 7 inches?!?!
Don't forget shocks and extended brake lines. Also, you need to buy an ord frame brace for the steering box or you'll crack the frame pretty quickly. I'd suggest you also buy the triangulation brackets from Ride tech so you have the frame braced on both sides of box. Cheap upgrade is to drill...- Bennyt

C10 lift kit?? 7 inches?!?!
I think you could probably trade straight across for a K10 if thats what you prefer. They are both worth about the same. I think that the question is that a lifted 2wd really serves no purpose other than for looks which is fine for some and not others. It's your truck and you do what you want...- Bennyt

C10 lift kit?? 7 inches?!?!
I would look for a lift spindle that uses a hub and not tapered roller bearings. Will live a lot longer. You cannot scrimp on bearings with big/ heavy wheel/ tire combos. If it were me and I really wanted to lift a 2wd high, i'd build a subframe and some control arms. Look for shops that build...- Bennyt

Repopped Fender Badges-where to buy quality badges?
I'm slightly derailing but I'm a little bummed that some parts are reproduced. Replacement sheetmetal, generic parts like that I welcome. The "Bonanza10" badges are now on the market. Took me 4-5 years to hunt down a set of NOS and then the aftermarket came along and now I'm going to be seeing... -

Lawn/ Garden tractors/ Riding Mowers, Cool Mods and tinkering
The blade(s) on yard tractors/ mowers are only for snow, correct. Can you use them for leveling rock, very light digging/ dozing? -

Lawn/ Garden tractors/ Riding Mowers, Cool Mods and tinkering
Had my meeting with HR today, it didn't go well. Tried to explain to them that I was looking for something to trim wife's bush out front, really want to wack it down and get it smooth to prepare the area for a new hardwood I want to put in. I even told them that a Bush on an online forum told me... -

Lawn/ Garden tractors/ Riding Mowers, Cool Mods and tinkering
They used to have lawnmower races in Phoenix, Buckeye specifically. Not sure if they still do. Out of morbid curiosity I took the whole family a couple years ago and was amazed at how packed the stadium was. It was definitely an interesting way to drop a $100 on tickets, snacks, etc. We hung... -

Lawn/ Garden tractors/ Riding Mowers, Cool Mods and tinkering
Enjoying this thread. I don't have any grass yet but have been looking for a mini front loader and / or a Struck Magnatrac Mini Dozer to start getting some yard work done. Haven't found any in my state yet but there is one in SoCal but asking $3k with condition somewhat unknown. -

Replace Steel Dash
This is a pretty straightforward job that looks way more difficult than it is. Buy a couple spotweld bits and go for it. Takes more time to strip all the components from the dash like the HVAC, Radio, glove box than it does to do the job. It has a couple bolts that help you locate and hold and... -

diagnosing mystery rattle/ flex plate clearance
Just an FYI as long as you are buying a new one. Pioneer sells an HD version flexplate. It used to be only $5-10 more at O'Reillys with an account but it is considerably thicker and better quality. It used to be SFI rated but I don't think they put the sticker on any more and unless you are...- Bennyt

1980 Squarebody Dually: Pictures Added
If you decide to cut it up, I could use some of the frame if there is going to be that isn't used for the trailer. I need to fix a bad C-Notch that was done on my C30 and would like to use the same material if possible. -
