    Headlight relay mod

    If you’re asking that, making your own relay kit (2 relays actually) may be difficult. But buy you a Toyota light kit (find the thread on here). It’s a quality plug and play relay setup and you get free headlights. For cheaper than a quality relay setup from the classic car places. Don’t buy...

    96’ Vortec carb in 86gmc fuel pump question.

    TBI pump in the tank and a regulator. Good to go. And a smart relay or pump that has that so that it’s not just key on.

    Who knows auto insurance? Ins outs loopholes

    @electoqute, I understand the differences. And what you’re calling CYA is PD liability coverage and has nothing to do with covering your vehicles for damage. You have $250k liability. Thats more than the min required but required nonetheless. Doesn’t explain your payout on your totaled truck...

    Who knows auto insurance? Ins outs loopholes

    That’s great news. I have AmFam now and my only issue which is to your benefit is they like to payout other party and get it off their books/reduce risk. And should be easy to get the flow down for collision money for Vince’s car because they gotta pay that cuz Progressive #1 hit Progressive...

    Who knows auto insurance? Ins outs loopholes

    ^Wow…wtf? Ya that is actually a problem. The part about your son being the car that set off the chain reaction and rear ending the stopped car. Hopefully his ins info isn’t on the police report, or hopefully Kansas as tough as they are on other weird stuff doesn’t consider the broke down car a...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Ain’t that how it works sometimes? We’ve all drug ourselves into the “since I’m doing ____, might as well do _____ while I’m in there …” scenarios.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I mean, I’d LS swap my 77 in a heartbeat without a second thought save for $, time and effort. In reality, I likely won’t for a few reasons but none of which are because I don’t appreciate the virtues of 21st century technology that is relatively easily achievable.

    Stolen truck found after 30 years

    Same point I was trying to make. And I’m surely not bagging on KS laws in general, because I could find a solid handful from WA that I’d gladly trade for the KS vin inspection laws. lol.

    Stolen truck found after 30 years

    I wasn’t insinuating it was your theory or idea. And you’re right, it doesn’t really matter until it hits home.

    Stolen truck found after 30 years

    Ya that just means KS is overbearing and the buyer from KS just got screwed unless stolen car salesmen go around giving out their real name and ID and let you buy it from their real house. They gone and you stuck with a car that the state won’t register. For your theory to prove it’s useful 2...

    Stolen truck found after 30 years

    You’ve mentioned similar things in the past that make KS sound petty and overbearing. Was it factory wheels on a squarebody in order to register it or something silly like that?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well that’s like using a double jack to install a tack to hang a picture on the wall but we all have our justifications.. Edit, it’s probably a $30 fuel pump or $25 ign module.

    Used Dash Pads- Any value?

    Also useful for sending distress signals, warming up cans of Raviolis and supplemental cabin heat. Reminds me I just saw a post on FB, dude with some sort of trailer with a shiny stainless steel front cap melted the plastic parts around the tailgate handle. Presumably reflection in the trailer cap

    Who knows auto insurance? Ins outs loopholes

    I see alot of confusion and lack of understanding about auto insurance. As it is a significant expense with even more significant ramifications attached, for any law abiding person, it pays to get oneself at least a working knowledge of your policy’s and what they cover and what you donor don’t...

    Who knows auto insurance? Ins outs loopholes

    You didn’t answer the question. And I’ll assume you didn’t have UIM (I don’t because it’s a waste if you have full coverage, you’re only gambling your deductible). Your previous post said you got the $30k from the OP and that was it. But uou added now that your ins actually covered the...

    Well crap!

    True story. But either way u joints ar least, it’s always a crap shoot imo if all 4 cups will continue to take grease in the future so I’ve gone exact opposite and have basically only used sealed. Make sure there’s enough grease in them, maybe add a smidge and toss em in.

    Drilling small holes in roof

    If you’re still working with the cab with the rusted jambs I can see your concern. If you got a clean cab then if it ain’t rusted on 40-50 years and the common rust areas (lower cab) are clean then you have nothing to worry about. I did mine out of abundance of caution even after I concluded...

    Drilling small holes in roof

    ^What he said. Although them spray cans of rust reformer paint like Eastwood are not cheap. I’d look at it like this. If you have rust problems in an areas, definitely do those areas. In my case the otherwise 100% rust free 86 had some fairly serious rust thru around the windshield frame/A...

    Doing away with fuel tank selector valve??

    Theoretically I think it would work with no return line. Absolutely won’t work if running a return line. Although idk about once tanks get lower on fuel and could see one sucking air and breaking the suction for fuel flow if one tank pulls easier than the other.

    Used Dash Pads- Any value?

    Short story is, if you could get actual $ from someone for a trashed out old dash pad, take it and run.

    Carpet

    I wouldn’t expect anything after 3 years either. Not that it changes the fit. Seems odd that it’s small, at least to me. Last one I did in a pickup the carpet was a fair bit too wide and sort of loose fitting over the trans and fuel tank humps. I got the cheap stuff with no mass backing though...

    That link doesn’t seem sketchy at all…. But I clicked on it. Not sure how useful it is.

    Hahaha sorry man! I just assumed you were providing your usual great advice and I was way too slow on the pickup. Cheers
