    Opinion thread- 81 silverado grill you like or ?

    I really loved the complete grill on my 83. The 86 single headlight I had, not so much.

    DELETE EXTRA ITEMS NOT USED

    I gotcha. Yep all one piece and houses the pump and the motor. I want to say that most show cars/trucks that have the empty engine bay look do it with tin covers, but I'm not entirely sure about that.

    That's your wiper motor and windshield sprayer. Deleting it would definitely render your wipers useless. Why would you want to remove it?

    Thanks! I was kind of skeptical about her powder color choice but she likes it and it's grown on me. Here's a closer shot of that illusion pink

    Finished the rebuild on the wife's 03 ltz400 a few weeks back. Turned out pretty decent actually .

    Header Gaskets

    I've posted this before around here somewhere. When I redid the 350 in my k20 I used the remflex gaskets top and bottom, then the proform wedge locking header bolts. Had great results. These were also used on a set of old flowtechs on aluminum heads, so if they could seal that they'll work...

    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    Ah I see it now. Yea, with the parts we get for anything anymore it's honestly a toss up if the hardware will be correct or not. It looks as though the studs they included are definitely for a larger hole. Best bet would be to do as nvrenuf said and use those old studs. Hopefully the nuts can be...

    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    It's a stud. Gotta take the other nut and washer off then pull/force it from the red bushing. A hammer can work but be careful of damaging the threads. Actually... in the bags of new hardware it looks like you have new studs for the new unit. Are those not the correct size? Edit: After looking...

    And here's the others. The LT250r I built from a basket case, then traded it for the 400ex. The wife's ltz400 is currently under construction and got powder coated. The shadow ACE tourer is technically the newest to us but the oldest out of the lot. And the 04 CRF450 has been mine since new.

    Headers/fastners

    Last time, used proform wedge locking bolts and Remflex gaskets. Never had an issue with them, even with smaller flanged headers.

    Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc

    I'm probably wrong, but it kind of looks like a belt driven hydraulic pump. Not sure why a reefer box truck would need one tho.

    Spark plug color

    Something to keep in mind, Edelbrocks pretty much require a fuel pressure regulator to be installed between the carb and the fuel pump. If you don't have one get a good adjustable one with a pressure gauge, 4-5psi is all they want. If this was your problem you'd be having a rich condition and...

    My new bowtie.

    @Grit dog that's a damn good idea about using that stuff around the battery. They would have done the entire truck for around $7200 o_O. I might have them do the fuel tank on my cb1100 that'll probably be decently cheap tbh. Yep same 2.7l as the gm 1500s. Apparently, they are going to have 3...

    My new bowtie.

    That is a very nice truck you have there. I really wanted the canyon in that AT4 trim. But around here they seem impossible to find. You also got that amazing desert tan color! Those babymax engines are absolutely fantastic. I did a lot of back and forth on the duramax vs the v6 when I was...
