    Why did this rust?

    I had no idea brake fluid would dissolve paint and absorb water. That is great to know. As for POR15, I am getting some soon for the cab floor, so maybe I will do that, then I wouldn't have to tape anything, just hand paint it. Will post updates here in a few months when i do paint. Just went...

    Why did this rust?

    Whilst bleeding my brakes, I left the lid off and brake fluid went everywhere. Sure. Fine. Whatever. I cleaned it up. Couple days later I found this: Why?? Should I tape and paint??

    What master cylinder and booster do I get?

    Replaces both front rubber lines and the single rear while I was at it.

    What master cylinder and booster do I get?

    Went with the cheapest options from EBay for MC and BB. Rod coming from the booster was short, and previous truck owner had welded a different through pin on the brake bar. I engineered what I needed with an eye bolt, nylon washer, and coupler. Should work great. Gunna bleed the MC, run hard...

    What master cylinder and booster do I get?

    Super thorough explanations, Keith! Thank you so much! I went ahead and purchased a MC and BB from Ebay, and I will see how that goes. I will keep y'all updated.

    What master cylinder and booster do I get?

    Couple photos of before and after I took the master cylinder off. Thought I could just put a new one from O’Reilly on, but flanges too think and rod is too long. Realized it had a brake booster in it from the factory and wanna restore it to factory things or better.

    What master cylinder and booster do I get?

    GVW rating i found to be 5001-6000 and I'm not sure what size the rotors are. I'll have to measure them next time I have the wheels off. Curious why do you ask? I'm trying to understand the physics of it all?

    What master cylinder and booster do I get?

    '83 C10 Silverado: I inherited this truck, a few people before me had it, so I keep finding odd things that were done to it not factree. The most recent being th master cylinder. I think i have a collapsed line, and I didn't like how the MC and hard lines looked, so I cut them and tried to...

    Need advice for doing Kilmat/Boomat/Dynomat

    I think imma be selective, not planning to remove, get some down to kill the noise, then when ready, I can repair whatever needed and finish the job. Also, if I wanna remove the cab, I can tape the floor off. Nbd.

    How do you like the rear brake conversion and what made you go with that option?

    Need advice for doing Kilmat/Boomat/Dynomat

    Haha I just wondered if you meant where the glass goes or just on the outside. Not much surface area, but you can get creative and shake it around, I suppose.

    Need advice for doing Kilmat/Boomat/Dynomat

    Good info here. I plan to do most of the cab really thoroughly. Even if I have to remove some for repairs, it shouldn’t be much as there’s not much rust. N just cover the areas with Kilmat before paint removal. The cab won’t be coming off for 5+ years and I don’t want to deal with hot internal...

    Need advice for doing Kilmat/Boomat/Dynomat

    to be clear, you're saying that, based on what you've read, covering >60% of the cab may not make enough of a difference? What you've described and shown is exactly what I'm planning to do - doors included to dampen the road/exhaust noise.

    Need advice for doing Kilmat/Boomat/Dynomat

    Sup everyone! I’m wanting to get my interior more quiet and comfortable by doing Kilmat and carpet w mass backing. I also might want to remove my cab one day and do a full resto on my truck and repaint the dash and all. Lastly, my truck has a little rust in the typical areas of the rockers...

    I can't get my ashtray back in

    I kinda have this same issue. I took mine apart and rebuilt and upgraded, but now I can't get the door to shut when the ashtray is in...

    Best source for a new dash pad for my ‘87? LMC? Brothers? Other?

    Seems to be the common theme. Someone glued carpet cover over mine, and it's great for holding screws whilst im working on something, but I want a cleaner look now. I think imma repair mine myself. Looks like fun work and rewarding. I'll post pics when I get the time to rebuild.

    Interior Insulation

    This is impressive! And excessive, lol Ever wonder about trapping moisture anywhere?

    Insulation on a Budget

    So Kilmat users, I def wanna use this in my C10, but I will evenbtually need to replace one, maybe two rockers. They aren't bad. And I wanna do a frame off resto eventually too. Should I wait to do the Kilmat, or just throw it on with some carpet and enjoy the truck for a few years before i have...

    Why are brake hard lines coiled?

    Great great answers everyone! Thank you!

    Why are brake hard lines coiled?

    I need to replace my hardline brake lines coming out of my master cylinder because they look like trash. All twisted up and ugly. Thinking about going the 4LifetimeLines route, but curious why the lines are coiled when they come out of the cylinder? Thanks!

    Suspension issues - which new upgrage to buy

    Do you have a rear shock extender preference? Looking at Western Chassis. Inherited an '83 with minimal info. Lowered, sway bar, 15" Cragars. Handles well (from my knowledge/experience of how it should), but drivers rear shock bottoms out before hitting bump stop, but oddly, passenger side...
