Steering Box Screw
That allen adjuster screw is captured when the steering box is assembled. See in the picture how the head of the adjuster screw is in the slot, on the end of the pitman shaft. Some steering boxes may have a longer adjusting screw with a cap nut, your box does not.- Turbo4whl

Towing Capacities HD
No. In Pennsylvanian if the trailer is over 10,000 pounds. The weight of the towing truck does not matter. So if the trailer is over 10K then the truck needs to be registered in combination. Pay more money to include the weight of the trailer.- Turbo4whl

Towing Capacities HD
I am sure you know every state has different laws. I also believe federal guide lines apply. In the state of Pennsylvania your truck needs to be registered in combination to include the weight of the truck and trailer. A trailer over 10,000 pounds with a gross over 26,000 pounds requires a CDL...- Turbo4whl

Value of a 400/402 big block?
So that helps me understand. GM called the 402 a 396 in 1970. In 1971 they labeled it as a 400. That caused confusion with the 400 SB. The last year they finally called it the 402. As far as I know only 3 years as a regular production in the full size sedans.- Turbo4whl

Venture a guess…
Rat is an old school slang. When the small block Chevy hit the seen, the somewhat compact size of the engine was received well for it's power output. The stock car racers nick named it Mighty Mouse after the currently popular cartoon character. Later shortened to mouse. Later when it's younger... -

Lifted Dually Suburban wheels/tires?
Typical dually does not use spacers in the rear, one wheel/tire hangs over the drum or rotor. The other faces out to the fender. No need for a spacer. A 225/70R19.5 is about 32" in diameter. 245/70r19.5 is 33" The front hubs on a dually are cast with a spacer so all 6 tires will fit any wheel...- Turbo4whl

I went back and found your into post, no picture of the Rat. Okay, enough about those switches. I would like to see the rat engine you have hiding under the hood of your pretty blue truck. Michael would you please post an engine picture. Maybe one of these forum jokester's will even spot... -

Okay @wildgoose 4 switches, one momentary off to blink the marker lights, one on/off for the fog lights, one momentary on for the air horn and the last one, another on/off to turn on the air compressor. No room left, so no ejector seat yet. -
What ya'll think of these new wheels/tires? I dig em. Any shock suggestions?
Since you asked, I've had some bad luck with Goodyears. Notice Mike has B F Goodrich, they are good. For a little less money I've been running Firestones, no issues. Many good brands out there, but me, I would not consider Goodyears in that list. -

1987 Chev R20 Detroit Diesel Swap
So, many of the Detroit 2 stroke engines would have one of several SAE standard bell patterns. Adapters to the GM trans bell are available. Best and cheapest would be find an engine with the trans still attached. One of the most common SAE bell is #3. Check this site: SAE bellhousing info- Turbo4whl

What y'all think, patch it and run it?
Pennsylvania with all it's vehicle safety regulations, has no (out of date) old tire rule. As an inspector, I am responsible for the condition of the tires. Looking for cracking, sidewall and tread, sidewall bulging etc. The utility I work for does have a 10 year rule.- Turbo4whl
