    Jegs or Summit

    Good auto parts catalog is necessary for pooping… Pile of LMC and summit catalogs in my bathroom. I kinda miss the PAW catalog from my childhood…. I must have circled and underlined a bazillion hot rod dream parts

    Firewall Cleanup : AC Install

    Yeah I studied those instructions and re-read them until they made no sense. Thanks for the complement Mike, we’re just a couple of kids with a welder and a lot of grinding disks. Dad and I were looking at you firewall pictures and thought it turned out great, we both liked the 2 tone. The...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    The part numbers on the IR stuff sold at Tractor Store actually start with "TS" all the big box stores do the same stuff. Walmart gets TV's made to their spec to reduce cost, Costco will work special packaging or other things to make more profit, etc. I'm guessing the yellow tag specials were...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    They had some “Yellow tagged” equipment in front of TSC the other day. An 80 gal IR disassembled and missing the pressure regulator and a note saying the motor was burnt was listed for $599, I thought for sure I could talk them down a bit because the motor retails for $700. NOPE…. Not...

    Feels like front suspension 'bottoms out' over speed bumps.

    @Redfish gave you some solid advice there One small thing... Correct terminology goes a long way when asking for help or shopping for parts Body lift = spacers between the body and the frame Suspension lift = increasing the distance between the frame and axles

    Take a look at this rust spot, please.

    Your call on re-skinning the roof but if it were mine I'd try to avoid it. Patching the few small rust spots and re-doing the top is a whole lot less work than the alternative. If you can metal work the top so it doesn't oil can quality body filler should last a long time.

    Tailgate handle

    That looks right except the chrome, thanks Mike. If you remember where it’s from let me know. Thanks, I’ve had fairly good luck with my LMC purchases so far, and I do need a shift boot no one else seems to have so I’ll give them a shot

    Tailgate handle

    :oops::oops::oops: Whoa, that’s really kind Ted! My original had been bent and is a little wallered out at the rivets. Also the nylon washers are toasted, it would still work for a “work truck” or even a daily driver. I’ve just invested so much time into this tailgate that I’m struggling...

    Tailgate handle

    Geeze, I have no idea… It does bolt up, and seems like it would work okay but it looks terrible when mounted in the tailgate. ETA: Not to mention it’s just as crooked as the 40 year old handle that has wallered out rivets and the nylon washers are long gone.

    Tailgate handle

    Who makes the best replacement tailgate handle? I ordered one from Summit, I think it’s a Holly maybe…. It’s not even close to the original. Way thinner and about 1/4” narrower

    Deleting the Catalytic Converter

    Theres no O2 sensor after the cat, won't cause any issue to remove it. You could also probably get in there & chip out the inside rather than cutting it out. Is it busted? Rattling? Plugged up? If you can pull a grade at full throttle it's not plugged. I say leave it alone unless its busted...

    Sorry for your luck Sir…

    Seriously bummed with this drivetrain setup right now :(

    ^^^^ This. To rough it in it should point directly at the TC output, to fine tune use an angle finder to compare the angle of the u-joint cap to the angle of the shaft. A socket used as a shim between the ujoint cap and angle finder helps. I was thinking this too, may be getting a little axle...
