    Double Cardan Joint: Is there a better way?

    I've rebuilt this thing twice and it just came apart again the other day. I guess I'm not smart enough to pull this job off, so I was thinking, is there a better way? Has technology improved enough over the years to see some kind of replacement for the double cardan? What about a driveshaft out...

    White Tripod Tow Mirrors

    I'd really like to have a set. I know, I can buy stainless ones all day long, I want white. I've tried tracing inside the gasket. I've tried to trace the metal frame of the mirror. I can't get the curves right, maybe you could, but I can't. I really just need the glass. But I'll buy the glass...

    Axle rubs spindle

    I've been getting an intermittent noise from the front end for the last few weeks. I think I've chase it down to the driver side axle rubbing the back of the spindle. I think that's a good way to describe it. Pics just to make sure. This Is rubbing up against this I think anyway, it's...

    Window glass falls out of channel

    The glass is falling out of track when I roll the windows down. This angers me and I want to start bending things to try and get them to act right, but that doesn't seem to be the best route to take, yet. I replaced the window regulators, and I don't know if the issue was there before because...

    Stupid Question About the Radiator Overflow Tank

    I ordered several small parts from LMC the other night, one being the overflow tank. It took a little modification to get it mounted up, the hole on the inner fender was pretty far off. I guess the 8 year old in the factory in Taiwan that made it was new to the job. Anyway, I want to make sure I...

    Ratio Adapter Drive Key

    I feel like I've talked about this here before, but I guess not. My speedometer didn't work when I started on the truck. It turned out to be the drive key for the ratio adapter had snapped where it transitions to the square shape of speedo cable. I ordered another one a few years ago. It didn't...

    Tried to break in the new motor today, no crank.

    Nothing. At all. Power to lights and gauges. Nothing when I turn the switch. Carried the starter to O'reilly's and it is fine. Changed the fusible link on the firewall. Changed the ignition switch and neutral safety switch. Still nothing. I'm fucking pissed. Been waiting on this forever. Worked...

    Cab Mounts...Worth the Money?

    I noticed my cab mounts look pretty shitty: LMC wants something like $140 for a rubber kit, and $70 for polyurethane, but I found these http://www.ebay.com/itm/131180330178?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649. The board really seems to like Energy Suspension, so I'm leaning...

    Parking Brake Strut Spring

    As I sometimes do, I got the cart before the horse on the rear brake overhaul. When I ordered the hardware kit, I just saw a shit load of springs and stuff and assumed it came with everything under the drum. Wrong, of course. But since I thought I was getting new parts, I trashed the old...

    Water in my Diff..

    Today I pulled the diff covers off to check out what kind of shape everything was in, and to find out for sure what ratio I'm running. I popped the front cover off to find this: What came out was mostly water. The rear wasn't too bad. Had some water in it, but mostly just needed...

    From Alabama

    Hey y'all, I started thinking about getting my dads truck, a '78 K10 "Ol' Blue", running again and a guy I work with who has a real nice Squarebody pointed me here. I've got to say, this is a pretty sweet site. I've learned a lot from here. I finally bit the bullet and decided to...
