Anybody repaired a BAD cab corner?

1990 454 SS Pickup
if you have not yet done so my 88 gave me fits on soft pedal. I bypassed that RWAL crap with the flare fitting to remove the pump for it.

Diy4x shackle flip help
I can understand the whole length thing but why do you see some where the shackle itself angles backwards and some forwards? By that I mean the bottom is forward or back in relationship to the top of the shackle. I would assume the axle is meant to go up and back not forwards.- Swims350

Bed Panels: Welded or Bolted?
I have personally dismantled 2 short fleetsides and it's simple. You have bolts all along the lower sides, and along the wheel house inside, from under the truck those unbolt and then those spot welds are in back to set the gaps for the tailgate and keep them from moving in. You'll find back...- Swims350

84 Chevy 305 intake and carb swap
if you have a 700r4 trans you better make it right or that trans will be toast in a hurry, I've done it. If it's a th350 or 400 sm465 etc. should be ok with whatever.
