    Before and after

    Because we would be turning the od, they were sandblasted, and yes just took enough to clean up, maybe .010. We did not polish them, for the guy, but you can make them look like a chrome finish...a process, with sandpaper and then sewn cotton buffs with white rouge finishing with the red rouge...

    Before and after

    Richard, I worked in many job shops as a machinist. One place had some big swing lathes, and there was a guy that bought old school (real) mags, and aluminum wheels, painted the whole wheel with epoxy paint, then brought them to us. We chucked them up, tapped them close to zero runout, and then...

    New For Me 1985 Silverado 20 6.2 Diesel

    Haven't posted about this pile in awhile. I have worked on the 6.2, rebuilt the pump, new block heater new glow plug controller, glow plugs checked good. Batteries are ok, but no start. My 73 K20 is down to the frame, and my 73 K10 front end is wobbly, and getting a bad case of the square body...

    Back in the fold

    Wow, nice truck. Welcome. I, to, have a camper special ford, perfect body, some brown paint, not as nice as your. I do engine machining, and the FE block are one of my favorite blocks. Built like an LS style block, way before the LS.

    ‘83 K5- seeking design and material ideas on bed side panels and compartments for storage

    Be aware that if the back is exposed to the weather, mats, wood hold moisture. When I pulled my matt from the pickup bed, had some bad rust. I will have to paint, scuff and use rhinoliner, bullhide or some such, as they won't trap H2o, and rust.

    Electrical gremlin

    When I disassembled my truck, I was surprised at how many grounds were on it, two in the engine compartment, two on the cab, and one on the bed in back. I like Rustypile thought process.

    Rear axle replacement

    Yep happened to me in a 53 chevy, Grand canyon long ago. Replaced the bearing and on my way, drove it like that for years, all good. However it would be good to put it between centers to see if it is bent.

    Stroker 454

    Anyone put a 4.5 crank in a stock block 454? 4.28 bore =517CI. Have been researching and it's been done, (Davis Vizard) uses 6.385 rod custom pistons. More practical is the Scat rotating with a 4.375 crank, W /4.28 bore yields 504. Thinkin of going that route. Anyone with a 504 out there?
