    Vinegar Rust Removal

    Along the same lines of the molasses method in regard to home remedies of rust removal I heard something about using vinegar to flush out a cooling system on vehicles and the rust removing properties of vinegar. So, I decided I'd try it. Takes a bit longer than say EvapoRust or something...

    Underside treatments

    Now that I have the frame all POR15'ed, I'm gonna work on getting the bed as rust free as possible and then coat it. Was thinking about a rubberized undercoating, but not sure if I should prime it first or what. Any suggestions, ideas, etc? I was also thinking about Eastwood's Rubberized...

    Recalibrating speedometer by changing the drive gear on a Th-400

    I did this with my TH-400, but most automatic transmissions will be similar. I also went the long way around and replaced the drive gear. Some will be able to just replace the driven gear which is much simpler as it is one bolt for the retainer on the Speedometer Pinion. 1) Jack up the back...

    Slick's For Sale Thread

    Alrighty, trying to clean up the garage and make a few $$ so I can buy more stuff for the truck. Mid/late 80's Long Wide Bed: It's in good condition, couple of dents, but straight with no rust throughs. $250 ...might be willing to sell individual panels off of it depending on how long it takes...

    TH-400 Speedometer Gears

    Does anyone know where a good source of decently priced speedometer gears would be? Ideally I'd like to find a 21 tooth drive gear, but that's unlikely from what I've seen looking around. My other option is to keep my 1.3 ratio adapter and run a 39 tooth driven gear for which I'd also need a...

    Stock Converter Stall Speed?

    Just curious and I can't seem to find anything with the few quick searches I've done, but does anyone know what the stock converter stall speed was for a early 70's TH-400 behind a 454?

    TH400 Kickdown switch information...

    I found out that my kickdown switch was bad the other day and thought I'd share the information I've found while trying to locate another one. 1) They are fairly easy to take apart and very simple in concept. I found this thread after I tore mine apart which duplicates my process...

    Slick's Junkyard Thread...

    Hey Guys! I've been making it to the yard more often lately and thought I'd get a thread going if anyone needs me to look out for parts while I'm out there and how much they're willing to spend on said parts. Not sure how often I'll be out there, but last time I was there I saw quite a few...

    Fusebox Swap

    Has anyone ever swapped the newer stock blade style fuse box into an older truck with the glass tube style fuse box. Just curious as to how much trouble it'd be and if it's even worth it. I know I might be nuts, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper to pull a fuse box out of a junkyard truck...

    TH-400 Speedo Housing

    Hey HR! Found this when I tore into that TH-400 I was talking about in the other thread. Any knowledge on how to take it apart? I'd like to repair the wire on it unless it's fairly worthless. I've never seen one like it before though.

    Opinions: Newer bed on older truck...

    Thinking about swapping over to an '86 bed on my '73... It would sure as hell fix my rust issues and make it a bit easier to fill the tank. My only hesitation is that even though my bed has a bunch of pitting from the rust and I'd have to patch over the wheel wells, it's a solid and straight...

    Blinkers/Hazzards stop working when headlights turned on...

    I haven't been able to spend a lot of time on this, but fuses have been checked... Not sure if this is happening on account of the new printed circuit I installed, my tinkering with my dual tank set up, or some other failure. Another thing that is weird is when I switch between the tanks...

    Lap belt to Shoulder belt conversion

    Has anyone in here put shoulder belts into an early Square that had only lap belts from the factory... I'm curious to know if it's a bolt in or if there's more to it than that. Thinking this would be a nice and worthy upgrade for the ol' girl so I don't end up smashing my face into the...

    4L80e prices...

    What kind of prices is everyone seeing for used 4L80's set up for 2wd? It seems like everywhere I look down here they want an arm and a leg for one that is sitting on the ground in an unknown condition, but want you to take their word that it's good. Just trying to price out how much it's...

    Hydroboost Setup

    Pending a few things I've got in the works, I'm looking around for a Hydroboost system for my 73 C10... The cam I have doesn't lend well to having reliable vacuum for the Vacuum Booster unfortunately. Anyone have one or know where to find one at a decent price? Thanks!

    Gauge Cluster terminals

    Has anyone ever had the terminals that clip the printed circuit to the back of the cluster for the gauge prongs break? I was replacing the printed circuit this evening and had two of them break as I was putting them back in. :banghead: So, right now I have the Ammeter jerry rigged to...

    'ello from Houston...

    Hey Guys, I grew up with these trucks and had a '77 C10 as my first vehicle, but sadly had to sell it for tuition and have been wanting to get another one ever since. About two years ago now, I had someone offer me their '73 at a price I couldn't refuse which has landed me here now. :)...
