    Budget Beater Build: 2004 Dakota

    Looks like it's going to be more of a spare vehicle for us. My daughter is really liking the Ram 1500 she is running currently and I don't think that she will want to switch.

    Well, it only took me two months. But, here are the results.

    How many horns on a 79 C10 Custom Deluxe

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Custom Deluxe came standard with a single horn in '79. I will have to look to confirm, but I'm almost positive that my Scottsdale trim '79 has "Dual Note Horn" listed somewhere on the sticker or data tag inside the glovebox.

    What’s IT Worth? (Post all “what’s it worth threads here)

    There is one on ebay right now with broken windows with a buy it now price of $550. Nowhere near the condition of the one you pictured.

    Ford Trash Talk Thread lol

    Believe it or not, ours was a BCM issue also. A little different than yours, but ours had to do with the windshield wipers, dash gauges, and left turn signal. Once we replaced the BCM, it was fine until we sold it.

    Ford Trash Talk Thread lol

    My wife had a 1996 GC 318 for a number of years. I really liked it. But, like everything around here, it rusted away to the point of no return. The only problem I ever had with the GC was some electrical gremlins. Otherwise, it was very good.

    Ford Trash Talk Thread lol

    I got to the point that I could have the cab off in less than 2 hours. Some of the guys that really did a lot of them had it down to where they could be in the 1-1.5 hr range. It just made such a difference in trying to work on anything that it was worth the hassle. The most time consuming...

    Ford Trash Talk Thread lol

    Actually, I really loved the 6.0 Ford. It kept my bay full at the diesel shop I used to work at for many years. I often joke that the 6.0 paid for my house....LOL

    Should I?

    The only thing I have left that us loud is my Cummins. It does have a muffler on it but it is a 4" straight through design. It's not too obnoxious unless you really stand on it. Fortunately or unfortunately, that exhaust is 304 stainless and will outlast the truck. The truck will finish...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Holy cow. Boy do those lights bring back memories. My father had a 5 cell aluminum one just like those when I was a kid.

    1988 C30 Cab and Chassis Frame Question

    Thanks. It's always nice to learn more about the little differences between models/years.

    1988 C30 Cab and Chassis Frame Question

    I ran across an ad on Facebook Marketplace today for a 1988 C30 single wheel utility body. In looking at their pictures, I noticed the reinforcement plates under the frame. I know that there were a bunch of different variations of these frames over the years. Just for my clarification, these...

    S-10 project

    I got a little chuckle out of the 4 spare 2.8L parts engines. I had my old '85 S10 Blazer from 1991 through 1999. I had the same pile of engines in the garage for it and actually got pretty good at swapping one out in a short weekend.

    A big question

    I've said it once and I'll say it again, you guys out west have absolutely no idea how much money you could make shipping rust free trucks and parts out here to us poor souls in the rust belt at a reasonable cost. There are a couple of companies out here that do it already. But, they end up...

    GMC vs. CHEVROLET

    No offense to anyone that owns an modern Chevy. But, I can't figure out how they can make the current GMC such a good looking truck and the new Chevy......well, not so attractive.

    A big question

    Agreed. If it is the original bed, it is from a 1978 or older.

    Not my daily, but snapped a quick pic of my old Vette today. Getting it ready for another show next week if the weather cooperates.

    GMC vs. CHEVROLET

    Keith, did they keep the 305 V6 in the trucks through the '67-'72 run for GMC or were they the 250 or 292 I6 by then? We had a '67 Chevy when I was a kid that was the 250. But, I can't remember what GMC did for their base engine.

    GMC vs. CHEVROLET

    There were a few different engine options back in the 60's. My uncle has/had a '63 GMC suburban with a 305 V6 for example. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but from about '67 on with that body style change, things stayed pretty similar other than badging, trim levels, etc.

    Carlisle Truck Nationals 2021

    Thanks for putting these up Ted. I'm going to refer the west coast guys to this last pic of the green '77 for them to see what they can get for their $2000 out here.

    I have been running my old Ram daily for some time now. 5.9 Cummins G56 6-speed, tune, South Bend Clutch, etc. It's loud, smells like a spent shotgun shell, and people tend not to want to park next to it for some reason. Perfect daily for my commute.

    I don't think that I've ever seen a 4-door with a manual trans either now that I think about it. That generation of Explorers were actually pretty good vehicles. The ambulance service that I worked for had a couple as QRV's. We beat the ever loving tar out of those and they were very reliable.

    Didn't they call the 2-door the "Explorer Sport" back in that era? I may be remember wrong though.

    What’s IT Worth? (Post all “what’s it worth threads here)

    This one of the cab mount on that truck is pretty common for here. That Dakota that I'm working on right now is actually much worse than this.
