    85 GMC crew cab

    Welcome to the forum from N. Texas! You're gonna hate that POS 4 & 7 way hitch plug. You can't use them both simultaneously. I got rid of mine (after breaking off both covers) with a Hopkins combo connector like this one:

    Duramax square body cab swap

    I think the truck portion is extremely interesting. The young lady situation more than extremely. Having just rolled over 48 with the DW, I've finally come to the conclusion that what you think she wants if so far out in left field it might as well be on the moon. Like Ted's beloved cats, women...

    towing rig

    Just curious as to what happened to the OP? Did he not like our answers, or to be told that his truck was not well suited to do what he envisioned?

    Square body being towed

    On a trailer. Too valuable to flat tow, IMHO. Welcome to the forum from N. Texas!

    Inner Fender Black Paint Question

    MGB's are nifty little cars. But with the roll-up windows, not as rustic as the TR-3 or Morgans. (TR-3 was known as the 'poor man's Morgan'!

    Inner Fender Black Paint Question

    Agree, but my paint shop is doing the actual spray job, and we're trying to get back to close to original as we can. Sports cars? If you know of anyone looking to sell a Triumph TR-3, pls let me know. I have a hankering to drag my knuckles one more time.

    03 yukon headed to scrap, should i buy it? LS rolling chassis?

    One less headache to fiddle with. Maybe her cousin's husband's friend told her it was "worth way more" than the couple of 'C' notes. Another great example of "I know what I've got."

    1973 Chevy Blazer - opinions wanted on interior color

    I wouldn't worry too much about having the different shade of colors if you decide on the Beige option (personally my favorite, mainly because it's cooler temp wise than black). Most automotive companies are just assemblers of various parts from a whole slew of speciality vendors. Having a...

    Transmission Vendor Recommendations

    I think if you read between the lines on Jake's discussions about racing transmissions, he is not too keen on messing with 4L60E's and 700R4's. Tells us a lot about which transmissions to use, and the reasons he gives for his thought processes.

    1977 k10 "trailering special" factory receiver hitch pictures

    That's a very well constructed shade tree platform hitch. Unless I'm mistaken, all factory option GM frame mounted platform hitches were bolt-on.
