Lube locker gasket if one is available. Have been very pleased with all of the ones I have used. Somewhere around 6 of them, and have two more to be installed. Rear ends and transmissions.- legopnuematic

Emmissions and Vacuum Routing Help
The one in the first photo, I have a couple of suspicions, but that is based on 70's trucks. I know the 80's got more complex with the thermo-vacuum switches and such. Does the truck have the EFE setup on the passenger side manifold?- legopnuematic

Emmissions and Vacuum Routing Help
The one on the center rear of the carb is for a hot air choke, looks as you have an electric choke, so you can just cap it. It allows the hot air choke to draw from filtered air.- legopnuematic

The issue is that they wire the motor directly to the pressure switch rather than through a magnetic starter. The pressure switch can hold up, but they just are not designed for that purpose, for that much load/inrush current. All in an effort to reduce costs/race to the bottom I’m sure.

What new tools have you got lately?
On the subject of blow guns, my Menards has these, bought one a couple weeks ago for the shop and have been pleased, bought another for work. The needle tips work nicely for blowing chips out of bores and such. Do a lot of small hole work, say 1/4 to 5/16 and smaller boring, threading etc...- legopnuematic

The one posted above, I'd spitball they are 1.5x30" belts, which may or may not be a local item, but certainly available from your favorite industrial supplier. Sanding belts can be made to pretty much any dimensions, I have a box of 5x173" belts and at work there was some communication errors...- legopnuematic

Suburban leaf spring choice - sagging rear - question on stock ride height
For a data point, every 2nd gen dodge 4x4 truck has 4" factory blocks in the rear. 1500's to 3500's all have them. Now stacking blocks on the other hand...- legopnuematic

You may not know, squarebody trucks the front fender opening is taller than the rear wheel opening is. I do not recall what the difference is but I’d say about 2” I’d re-measure at the upper body line or bottom of the rocker panel and see what you get.- legopnuematic

Farm/industrial auction sites like purple wave or big iron might be a place to look. Most of the lots are located in the Midwest though.- legopnuematic

White or a cream color might look pretty good on a blue truck. The 19’s and 20’s don’t look bad, but I think offering those designs in 15” or 16” offerings would have been a hot seller, on top of the larger sizes.- legopnuematic
