    Taller tires for my 1976 K20

    good point, you are right i think on the rim thing. He should be fine then because I believe 1981 or 1982 you could start equipping radials iirc On squares? But its because radials hug a wheel much differently than bias plys do, and there is an extra bead that seals up against a radial tire...

    fortunately only the outboard part of the rocker that defines the bottom of the door and outline of the cab is the rotted part, directly under where the door catch bolts and the pinch weld thing for the seal its all solid

    4L60E Information Thread (Includes 4L65/70/75)

    you know its a good idea when an expert in the subject is suggesting something that could be in his own best interest (say, you paying him to build you the trans) but is offering the advice because he wants to see you get the best performing 4l60e with the amount you have into it or possibly...

    Taller tires for my 1976 K20

    dont let some bad faith hack convince you to ignore potential safety issues, it only takes a small amount of checking on what you have to know what your next move is.

    Taller tires for my 1976 K20

    The only way your truck came with 16 inch rims would mean it came with tubed bias ply tires. You should not use a radial tubeless tire on them , its not safe. The use of a larger, especially, radial tire could crack or lead to failure over time. But if they werre aftermarket, its an entirely...

    Air Storage Tank Alternatives

    I know what im using this for now I did some googling, an apparently the thin wall tanks of old (these tanks) have no anti corrosion coatings inside them ,because no moisture would be present. so you would want to only ever put dry air in. And they are not as robust as a propane or air tank...

    gmt800 tailgates suck

    The hardware is clearly chinsy. However, the tailgate exoskeleton itself is higher quality than the closest thing I Have to compare it to, (obs ford) I use this to compare because the ford tailgate uses the exact same catch/striker /trunnion(hinge) The ford has a heavier, but weaker...

    Ford Trash Talk Thread lol

    i think it means that no dealer purchased any f150s rather than people didnt buy them. If they chronic quality control issue is to be believed, which I do, then it makes sense but its not surprising. But if they werent trying to buy any and ford was trying to sell them, THAT would be crazy

    Easton Is Graduating Thank You all for your help GMSB!!

    THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL. He better not want to get rid of them! The only acceptable change to that there setup is to replace the empty spot with another gauge. They are hard to find, especially in a new-appearance Id imagine, but there are gas versions of this tachometer /gas gauge out there...

    HELP motor mount issue

    so what exactly do you need help with? YOu would also benefit yourself to get a cold air intake onto that carburetor instead of that filter. The stock opening in the core support lets you use pretty large diameter duct to pipe into a factory air cleaner for a SBC 1977 ish + pre-TBI 4 barrel...

    gmt800 tailgates suck

    based on how thin the spacer/bushing is, I bet the striker was never in an ideal location for the tailgate since it was new and any and all use quickly wore it away, because even now the striker is showing great amounts of wear on only part of the striker, but none 180° away from the wear...

    gmt800 tailgates suck

    Fixed it for now. The latches clearly have damage from being slammed into the strikers unsuccessfully often for probably years. I took the 3 bolts off from the handle, and took the bezel out. turns out the handle was pulling but it barely moved th ends. I used some deep creep on the center...
