    Check out my rear end

    All fixed up! Only $475. Luckily paid by the guy that did it.

    whats every body using.. looking for a new stereo head unit

    Those days are over for any of the name brand units. For Pioneer, it is looking for you to wire it into the "positive" side of the parking brake, aka a parking brake dash light, instead of just grounding a wire. And....it wants you to engage, disengage, and engage the parking brake, before you...

    whats every body using.. looking for a new stereo head unit

    I have a Pioneer head unit that fits in the DIN opening, my dash had already been cut for it. It has a motorized 7" pop out touch screen, Apple Carplay, Android Auto, etc. It does block the HVAC with the screen out, but most of the time I leave it in anyway...

    Differential swap / bought it, work and install now

    I had 3.73's, 31 in tires (really 30.5 if you measure), and a 700R4. I just went to 4.10s during a rear end rebuild. It's perfect at highway speed in OD now.

    Headers and O2 sensor

    If you haven't already, you MUST watch Engine Masters. So much of this type of stuff was tested on the show.

    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...

    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.
