    AC system recommendations

    Another vote for VA from me. The install was straightforward and it performs very well.

    Check out my rear end

    Just to update this thread, yesterday I picked up my truck from the differential shop. Ended up doing a full rebuild, axles and bearings, posi springs, clutches, ring and pinion. I switched from 3.73's to 4.11's, since it needed a ring gear cause there was pitting on it. It's perfect now as far...

    Reverse light options

    Sadly, this is not the case. There are a number of proposed bills in the MA legislature proposing this, and another proposing eliminating safety inspections for vehicles over 45 years old, but they are still just proposed bills. I would be thrilled, my 1966 Porsche and my 1981 C-10 would be...

    Send to Precision for a rebuild and the win.

    Do I even need a gas tank vent tube?

    That is the setup I have on mine, but that's because I relocated the tank to the rear with a blazer tank, and my fuel filler is now in my bed. I have a vent hose going from the tank into the top inside of the wheel well, with a filter on it. As long as the height of the vent is higher than the...

    POR 15 equivalents?

    I wire wheeled and flap disked to bare metal, and followed their directions. This was in 2017, it has held up perfectly.

    ****CAUTION, PLEASE READ****

    Agreed! Face to face with cash is what I always say. I was just sharing one I expected to be a scam but chose to entertain that worked out.

    ****CAUTION, PLEASE READ****

    I did something I would tell everyone else not to do, and luckily it all still worked out, which is nice. I have had a set of stainless Hooker headers posted on craigslist and FB for a while. They are for the 88-98 trucks, I had them on my '81 C-10 for less than a thousand miles but the driver...

    Stolen!

    This is what I have for GPS tracking. It's $100 a year, but that's cheap insurance to know I won't lose my truck I've had since high school. Battery powered, which last at least 5 years, and uses GPS and 5G LTE. You can track it on an app, set up a geofence, etc...

    Holley / Brothers trucks clearance sale

    There's a ton of stuff on there that I bought in the last year. Man I would have saved a ton of money at these clearance prices.

    Sound dampening

    I definitely agree with the Kilmat on the outer door panel. You don't need to use a lot, there or anywhere else. I put one sheet inside each door and totally killed the tin sound. I did the roof as well before adding the headliner, and you don't have to go crazy over every square inch to get...

    A new comer with a problem

    My whole 8 foot fleetside bed, other than the wheel wells and tailgate, is aftermarket. I got the bedsides from LMC, it feels and looks original.
