    454 Oil Pan

    I welded a lugnut to the pan of a 100,000 plus mile 4.3 and used the regular drain plug on a repair. Now with 300,000 miles and still not a problem. Also in my experience parts that are chromed and inexpensive are usually junk before their time.

    Headlight issues

    The Black wire ground problems throughout the "forward lamp harness" could be the result of a poorly done press crimp as most all those wires are crimped together in the wiring, dip soldered and then wrapped with duct tape.

    What tires are these

    I was buying Armstrong Tru Tracs back in 72-73. 1200/16.5's. First real tires made for street that were also for off road use on civilian vehicles. Great tires. Hard to see them on one of the few pics saved from that era. On the back of my 1969 3/4 ton Longhorn with factory 396.

    running boards, nerf bars, step bars !!!

    The solid aluminum steps I installed on my 77 K30 were super strong and fit well. I bought them at an RV Sales and Service back in the day. Never seen a set like them since. Bought running boards for the 79 K30. through the 88 V30. Running cab length tubes on my Duramax trucks.
