    Whats your hand soap?

    Try the tub o towels, we get them from O'Reilly and Wal-Mart. I keep them in my work van and the garage now. I haven't tried the cherry bomb cleaner but have used about all the others.

    Replacing fuel lines.

    I am in the process of replacing the motor in the truck and while I have it out I am addressing all the other rusted out and wore out items. What would you guys recommend replacing the fuel lines with? Go back with oem style or braided and AN ftgs, or rubber?

    Little tip on trans installs. No trans jack.

    I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that makes a mess everytime.

    steerinng wheel 90 degrees out after gearbox swap

    I bought one from redhead steering gears but it will be a little bit before the truck is running so I can't tell you how well it works.

    10 bolt leaks but not where you would think

    I cleaned a bunch of sludge off mine last night and found several spots that are leaking. Several plug welds are cracked or have a hole. Looks like it's coming out to get a better look.

    One side sagging

    How is a shock going to fix a sag? Doesn't a sag have to be a leaf spring or a bushing problem? A shock doesn't hold the truck up, its just a timing device.

    Rubber or poly bushings

    Why don't you like the poly? Seems half the guys like poly and half like the rubber.

    Got to a project I was putting off... Swapping to a tilt column

    I'd like to see you get in mine lol. I'm not big and I can barely get my legs under my wheel when I get in. I've been wanting to switch mine over to tilt.

    Rubber or poly bushings

    I could care less if it lasts another 42 years. I don't want a stiff ride.

    Rubber or poly bushings

    So I am starting to tear into my truck to replace some much needed bushings for the radiator core support, leaf springs, and everything else. Do I want to get the rubber bushings or the poly? I started taking the front end off the truck tonight because I'm also changing out the motor. I need to...

    One side sagging

    My son races in the Badger midget series, hopefully you heard of that . He won the championship last year, youngest driver to win it. I used to race a modified also. We also have relatives in the Wausau area. Small world.

    Leaf springs

    My truck has a 2 leaf spring pack in the front and the springs are reverse arched. Everything under there is pretty rusted and worn out, bushings non existent. Are the springs supposed to be like that? I've seen replacements in lmc and others that are either 2 or 3 pack leafs. Also the...

    gasoline drainback

    Did you ever replace the fuel pump? I said in another thread that my truck would lose its prime and you couldn't pump it enough to start it. The fuel pump started leaking so I replaced it. Now one pump and pick up the throttle a little as you crank and it starts right up.

    Am I pumping and cranking too much to start

    This was just like my truck. The PO stated to pump it 3 times to start. At first mine would start on one pump or two, always had a gas smell lingering but didn't see anything. Then got to where no amount of pumping would start it if it sat more than a couple days. So we would use starting fluid...
