    Hello from Virginia

    Welcome! Glad to see another from VA! I may have some parts if you’re near the I95 corridor.

    K30 crew cab headers???

    I have an 1985 cab and frame with a 1973 454BB but I went with Summit Racing brand headers part# SUM-G9011. I did have to put a dent in the passenger side hedder so the front drive shaft would clear.

    Turbines!

    Oh neat how does that work with dualys? Can I just put the turbines on the outside?

    RETRO-Mod: Jeep intermediate steering shaft

    Got the bottom bolt in today, picked up a normal grade 8 M10x1.5x30 flange head bolt form the hardware store see pictures attached. Haven’t taken it for a drive yet but I can say I like not having to modify the shaft at all to get it in there and the dampener is the same style as the original...

    Help with redoing my Front Grille 82 C10 and building a parts list.

    I’d like to hear about the LED Headlights as well. I’ve got a set of Grote LED lights on my wish list but they are quite pricey.

    RETRO-Mod: Jeep intermediate steering shaft

    Per the other thread by dd1990, I got Dorman part # 425-177 for $130 off Amazon. I pulled out the Jeep shaft and put the C3500 shaft in. It's a perfect fit. I'll post pictures of it in the truck tomorrow. For today I have comparison photos of the original shaft, the Jeep shaft, and the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It’s a bit like putting lipstick on a pig but I got one side done.

    Vintage air vs. stock dilemma???

    Personally I’ve looked into both options and I’m going with the stock setup with the A6 compressor. Now my truck was a factory AC truck to begin with so I got that going for me. But I have to buy most of the under hood components (brackets, compressor, condenser, receiver/dryer) It’ll still be...

    WTB Big Block AC brackets for A6 compressor.

    Never mind I got them off of Craigslist. Was $125 shipped. No did not have all the bolts but i dug around my box of bolts and got it mocked up. As I expected the rear lower bracket does not fit with the heddders on and the heads themselves are missing a boss (the rear most one above cylinder 3)...

    Stumped on oil leak

    Well, I made a minor change but it seems to have fixed the issue. The valve covers I got have a 1-inch hole for a PCV vent. It would seem that 1'' filters are a bit less common, now you can get them on Amazon but I didn't do that. I went down to the auto parts store and got a 3/4'' filter...

    Stumped on oil leak

    OK so I did the test again and I may have had the distributor clocked wrong yesterday. I also figured out a better setup for air fittings using the adaptor off the compression tester, a union, an air fitting, and hose clamps. Anyhow for today it would simply pop when I took the hose off but no...

    Stumped on oil leak

    Yep, that's what I did. The roter cap was pointing at the vacuum advance which is where #3 is at I rigged up an air hose with some rubber line and the blow gun on the air compressor with some hose clamps and after I got it jammed into the spark plug just right I was getting air out the carb...
