    Vent hose lines

    I have 2 hard lines left over at the rail - one goes from the tanks to the canister - anyone know what the other one goes to (one towards the bottom of pic)? THX

    Fuel Pump Sending Unit Main Harness

    Does anyone know where the main harness (from the selector valve on the right side) enters the cab? I have pics before disassembly - there is a main harness going forward on the right side and another that crosses over the crossmember to the left side. I think part of that crossover harness is...

    A couple more sensor questions

    A few pics just need a second opinion on. The old 4N cars I used to build - the sensors most always sunk to the shoulder. Does this temp sensor look like its even in far enough? Its very tight at this point. Half tempted to run a tap in it. Think its too close to the header? This is on the...

    Oil Pressure Sender Port

    Is this port used for an oil pressure sensor - think it is but not sure. I can put a rod in that hole almost 10" deep. WTF? There is also a hole right next to it (kind of half-under the intake) - anyone know what thats for? This motor was totally stripped when I got it so nothing to go by as...

    Electric Fan Temps

    Do you guys run one constantly or always on a on-off sensor? Looks like the standard on/off sensor is 185/175. I would think it'd run about that regardless. Dunno. I'll be running dual fans with one either coming on with AC or manual over-ride when in stop-go traffic.

    Catch Cans

    I noticed a couple guys were talking of getting a catch can - but there was no follow up. Did anyone here ever get one and how did you plumb it for 2 heads? I used to put these in turbo 4 bangers all day and loved them. Just not sure about the V-8......a Tee from both heads to the one can? What...

    Vacuum Reservoir

    The ball looking thing on the driver's side......I have pics but the lone vac line disappears behind the motor - cant figure out what it connects to, maybe the cruise or HVAC? With a Vintage Air setup, I wont need it for the HVAC. Not sure what I'm doing yet with the cruise. Just wondering if...

    Brake Booster Vac Hose Size

    Does anyone know the size of the vacuum hose for the brake booster? Gates claims its 11/32" but I know that check valve is much bigger than that. I'm getting a vac fitting from the intake to the booster and need to know what size the barb has to be. THX

    Rock Auto Discount Codes

    Anyone have a current RA code? I found about 10 online and none of them work. Maybe they quit doing them altogether? THX

    Installing Sensors

    When you fellas install various sensors in the heads or intake, are you using any kind of sealer on the threads? Regardless of a tapered thread, cars I used to work on required just a dab - I used a toothpick with some Permatex on maybe 2 threads, leaving most untouched since they have to...

    Anyone ever make/crimp their own high pressure hoses?

    Looking to make a 3/4NPT and 3/8NPT high pressure (flex) lines. Local place wants stupid $$ to do it (and I already have the Parker industrial hose) - figured I'd rather put the $ towards the tooling and do it myself forever. Parker has a new style "barb" that from what I hear is pretty...

    Front End Sheet Metal Assembly

    Quick question: I am prepping to begin re-assembling my front sheet metal and was wondering in what order would the easiest / best way be? I figured I would start with the radiator support, then the fenders and then the inner fenders (?!) Due to a rotted core support and inner fender from a...

    Radiator Brackets

    Did GM make more than one style of radiator brackets for the squares? I'm using a thicker radiator than what came with the truck and if these dont fit, was wondering if perhaps the BB's or diesels had something different / larger or am I fabbing something up again? Thx

    Headlamp Adjusters

    @Keith Seymore Re: 1985 K20 w/Quad lamps. Any idea why some of the bulb adjusters are green and some are white? All mine are white except one on the passenger side, which is green - but the PO was a savage so who knows what went where. They do mount a tad different (one is recessed - the other...

    Radiator Support Body Mounts

    Having a blonde moment..... IIRC the 2 donut mounts that go under the radiator support are different from the cab mounts - yes? If so, in what way? Or were the bolts just a different length? Or both? I'm trying to collect all the randomly stashed parts and brackets to start assembling the...

    Mid-late 90s Bench

    Were these ever made as just a one piece bench with the fold down armrest / cup holder? Dont need a 60/40. Seems like between 95-99 they had a dozen styles of seats. Have to find a standard cab just to get a bench. This is the style I'd like to find. Would do buckets and a center console but...

    Square Body Sleeper Cab

    Cant imagine anyone over 8yrs old being able to fit in this thing. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/310298498522422/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Aa5351971-e6a6-4595-a002-75184aab814c

    Speaking of dash pads......

    Seen these before here and there on resto-mods. Apparently some place in Covina (?) CA makes them. No idea how much but I imagine they're pretty proud of them. I have mixed feelings about it - kind of cool but I think to re-orientate the vents vertically might look better with the higher dash...

    Square body full sleeper cab

    Not mine but looks fun..... $3,000 Ad and more pics are HERE. This is a fiberglass full sleeper cab for 73-87 Chevy plus 88-91 1ton up truck cabs that still use the square body. It grafts onto the back of the cab, and adds 4-1/2” width to each side, and 41” deep. There’s 2 identical side...

    Water Separator / Oil Traps in Air Compressor Lines

    Installing an after-cooler and will need to add a water separator and an oil trap for painting. What brands and styles are you using and how do you like them? Only 2 types I see....BIG $$$$$$ or low rated....and some of the big $ ones aren't rated that great either. THX

    Reman IR 5HP Compressor Motor

    I bought a Rand4000 60 gal compressor at an estate sale last May. Guy was a serious pro-wood worker and had more than one of these in his shop. Motor was missing but there were a couple boxes that came with it. One box had new-like pulleys and the other was a new reman 5HP motor. I intended on...
