    MACHINING 16.5" DOWN TO 16"?

    Dear Santa.... After searching so many wheel options I realized I REALLY like two wheels. The wagon wheels that are currently on my truck and good ole turbines. Such a classic look. So much of a classic look that the turbines only came in 16.5" from what I can find. What are the chances that...

    Can I run 35s on the street with this setup?

    Here is my current ride. 33/12.5x16.5 Have 16” 2004 Silverado stock rims to throw on it. They sit a bit more inboard. Can I run 35s with this amount of “lift”. Actual lift unknown. I have to buy new tires and I have a lead on some “new” used 35s for a song. I’m not worried about “full...

    Help Identifying lift height

    Picked up this beast a few months ago. As seen it is sitting on 33/12.5-16.5s. I’m in the market for new tires and found a smoking deal on raptor takeoff 315/17s. Wondering if anyone can tell by the current stance the approximate lift on the truck?

    another 16.5 post

    really, whos idea was a 16.5 inch wheel? how did this come to be? "Lets go bigger Bob. I like our 16 offering but 17 is to big." I'm so curious as to how this happened! And then the tire companies went along with it. BTW, is anyone still making 16.5 inch tires? asking for a friend.

    Fuel tank selector manual switch?

    This week I bypassed the fuel tank switch and the selector unit and noticed what seemed to be a manual switch on the unit. Does this thing actually switch the fuel line? It moves from left to right when I manipulate it manually. You can see it in both orientations in the pictures.

    Good morning. I have a 76 C-K20 camper special that I am thinking of adding a full cabover to. It currently has a custom built cabover that is bare bones. Thinking of adding a fully loaded slide in from Six-pac or similar vendor. I cannot for the life of me figure out what the bed weight...

    What the choke?

    Alrighty, I grew up wrenching on my dads 1979 el Camino, which became mine for a time. Lots of hrs invested and lessons learned. However, this qjet has me baffled. I get that heat from the manifold will transfer to the choke but how the hell do I adjust it? Haven’t seen it before! 1976 k10...

    Hey new friends, the new rig

    Picked up this beast for $300. Hasn’t been on the road, other than this pic, for 10 years! Salvaged with the damage seen but otherwise functional. Looking forward to making some memories with the Mrs and the boys in this bad boy. Looking forward to contributing and all the help I’ll need. I’ve...
