    Bed mount winch

    Bed winch mount frame thoughts. No welding to the vehicle. Bolt to the 2 vertical square things on the front (sorry don't know what they are called), and bolt angled bars to bed bolts. Only welding is on the winch frame itself. Can be removed. The tubing is 3/8" thick. Main use would be to...

    Square engine bay wiring cleanup for LS

    Wish I had time to do this when I did mine, when I replaced it, and again this time around. Not sure if we can do a sticky for a youtube video. @HotRodPC @bucket My engine bay looks like crap cuz of old stuff I don't need. The truck won't be going back so I'm not afraid to hack. If it was...

    Dry erase board clean up

    Rubbing compound and a pad at slow speed will get those dry erase marker stains out in seconds. Honestly could probably do it by hand as well. Did a 2x4 board and I was done in less than a minute. I use it to list steps in a project as well as letting the grandkids draw on. Thought I'd share

    Brake bleeder system

    is there such a system that works for one person to bleed the brakes? Tired of paying for brake parts to be changed cuz I don't wanna get into an argument with the wife (happens every time cuz she don't listen lol). Willing to pay up to $120, but prefer the $70 I'm getting ready to pay to have...

    Garage Overhead Storage

    Ok, so I'm a semi-hoarder, and if a part/tool is on sale, I'll buy 2 lol. Anyway, I've got too much crap in the garage and really need a storage building but that ain't happening any time soon. I've always wanted to use some of the space just below the ceiling. Hell I can put ladders...

    Custom wood door trim w/pull strap

    So I need door trim for my panels off an '87 'burb. I've got the back just not the chrome that runs thru the middle. Why not cut a whole panel out of 1/4" oak/cedar/blah/etc and stain/fit/glue the panel in place then drill/mount the strap hardware? Anyone done this? Neighbor has the tools to...

    'Burb doors on K10, back window switch controls

    I'll be installing 'burb front doors on my K10. What kind of ideas can you come up with to use the rear window switches for? Otherwise, they'll be cut. I've thought of winch control and add-on light control. Thought I'd ask before I cut. Thanks In Advance

    Old dual tank location, what do do with space?

    So I did the gas tank relocation years back and have removed the tanks/brackets. Can anyone think of anything to put in the location that would be useful? It was a dual tank so I've got doors on both sides. All I can come up with so far is either a step you could pull out/fold down or storage...

    Flat black instead of chrome

    What's ya'll's thoughts on a Black gloss paint job, with all trim/chrome flat black? Maybe a red pin stripe through the side trim. Pic of truck in signature. It's a hunting truck/daily driver, so there's no way I'm spending the money on new bumpers. Again anything that isn't paint or...

    LS swap firewall intermediate block/harness

    For those that have done it, wouldn't it have been nice to have a wiring block/terminal strip with everything possibly needed for a swap? Mount that block to the firewall, then it would have wiring to go to everything possibly needed in the cab? Cruise wiring, neutral safety switch, brake...

    Vinyl bench seat color change spray paint

    Is it possible with no wear off on clothing? I've got a color picked out, but hesitant to spray it a brighter red. I drive daily, work in a hospital wearing (typically) tan docker pants. The last thing I need is to walk in looking like I shit blood lol. I did a spare set of door panels and...

    Dolphin Gauges

    Anyone tried these? Looks like you'd have to mod them, but damn the price is right. Link I found on amazon [edit]. https://www.amazon.com/Dolphin-Gauges-Chevy-Gauge-Cluster/dp/B08FCNH3Q6/ref=sr_1_86?dchild=1&keywords=multi+gauge&qid=1625456680&rnid=15684181&s=automotive&sr=1-86

    Square window relay upgrade

    Why do all these kits come with a relay per door? Is it that the input wires in the harness/ckt aren't big enough? Why not use one relay for the whole ckt? I can understand a bit if your rolling up 4 windows all at once so you might have to beef up the wiring or separate them, but really...

    Bed Carriage bolt holes

    Is there such a thing as an insert to weld in place of wollered out bed bolt holes? I've got at least 4 that need fixed. Not that it's a pain to put them on, but it's a bitch to get them off cuz the bolts start spinning. Would like to fix it once and for all. Thanks In advance

    ISO CUCV

    Probably the wrong place, but no clue where to put it. My neighbor (ex-Army) is wanting a CUCV with a 6.2. Everything he's seeing is complete and the price is too high. I'm guessing he's looking in the $2-4k price range. Too low? Thanks In Advance 'Maro

    Decent Paint Job

    86 K10 hunting truck, but a daily driver and needs to look decent. Thoughts of Rustoleum 2x enamel? Wide spray pattern and appears to be easy. Too old to learn how to paint for one paint job....and it's a hunting truck so the shits gonna get scratched. I don't mind spending time...

    Anyone have a good source for a rebuild kit? I've googled it and can't seem to find what I would call a "reputable" vendor in a decent price range (under $750). Thanks In Advance 'Maro

    Door lock relay

    I'll be upgrading the doors to all electric in the spring. I'm having a hard time finding the relay and prefer not to get a used one from a junkyard. The doors and harness are from a ~88 Suburban. I found some info on another site that it appears to be a Standard Motor Products model RY547...

    Front Shackle hanger bolt

    86 K10 stock. I'm going to have the bushings changed on the front leaf spring rear shackle hangers and leaf spring bushings. The bolt currently is installed from the inside out. My exhaust pipes are right there blocking it from being able to pull it out easily. Once the old one is hacked...

    Mastercraft 31's or 32'

    Looking at Mastercraft AXT2's in 31x10.5/15 or 32x11.5/15. Thoughts? I know it's only ~ 1" taller and wider, thought I'd ask though. $65 difference for 4. Currently have the 31's Finding a replacement readily available if I have a flat is the only reason I can see against the 32". Going...
