    Show your daily driver

    Kinda rare that anything makes my daily driver look small, but it happened today.... If Rawhide (my 97 CCLB) is "Texas sized" then does that make the Sprinter Alaska? It's dark blue like their flag, just needs the constellation on it.

    Any Tricks for stuck oil filter ?

    I've had them be stuck on really good, because I didn't leave a film of the used oil on the filter mount. I do that, and put fresh oil on the gasket and the threads, and they always come off with my AC cup wrench and the 1/2 drive ratchet. I do have a Lisle band wrench, and another one that's a...

    Wheel almost fell off while driving…help

    Back in the early 90s my family was going to Oklahoma for a swap meet trip over a long weekend. We had our '79 Burb, basic C10, 350/350/3.08 12 bolt, brown metallic and cream, still had the while wheels and dog dish caps and cheap tires. On the way up from Houston, had a blowout on the right...

    Painting rally wheel rim

    Yup those are the ones we had painted Colonial Yellow for the '78 Sierra shop truck. Also had the Chevy Sport padded bumpers, yellow of course, and the square mirrors. Those wheels were 15x8 and a set of LR60/15 Goodyear GT Radials fit them nicely. Also dropped the truck a few inches. I used to...

    Painting rally wheel rim

    Interesting about the availability of the 15" 8 lug wagon wheels....I have a set that Dad bought decades ago for one of his projects. IIRC he was told they were off a Toyota one ton. Here's a picture of them(and the aluminum 16.5 slot mags he also bought for that project):

    Painting rally wheel rim

    I've seen lots of trucks with the square body Rallyes, in body color of the truck, or a complementary color like red wheels on a black truck. There's several guys on gmt400.com that have the square body Rallyes, and run either the square style caps or Astro van caps.

    Hubcap Paint

    Not sure of the code #, but I think Ochre is the color for the trim(gold/mustard yellow paint).

    Roundeye 4x4 VAN for sale !

    Cluster is a little different shape but the wheel and column are definitely carryover from the 67-72s. We had several G vans at a prior job, but they were 80s ones so newer style interiors.

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    I also have this AC Delco promotion binder, from 1983, with the ads and promo items in it. We had those silver jackets when I was in high school, very cool looking with embroidery. Dad had similar cabinets in the shop. I picked this up at a swap meet a couple years ago; the one we would've had...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    Very nice collection! Great that you're getting the chance to display it.... All my stuff is in various places, don't have much room for displays in a travel trailer. All I have here is my Hot Wheels display case with some of my loose cars and trucks.

    Truck Size

    Yup my buddy's Colorado crew cab, isn't that much smaller than my '97 CCLB. A but shorter though! And a Phord ranger CC is about the same size as my Burb.

    Older badge on 86 K10? Or metal 80’s era badges?

    I like the one from 67/68 that's the big square with the Bowtie on top, orange background and the 10/20/30 inside the square. Nice and simple, gets the message out without too much gaudiness. And then again, the OBS door badges with the Bowtie and 1500/2500/3500 are cool and minimalist too.
