    Trailer mounted winch

    Way I did it when collecting trucks all over the country was to install a 2nd battery tray, and carry my winch battery in it. I could then move the battery to the trailer winch, or take it into a motel room and charge it overnight. Never liked those battery boxes on any trailer tongue-sort of...

    Looking for a sleeper

    Here's some I found on the web: I would look on CL, or a wrecking yard in an area near a major highway/Interstate.

    New guy in SW OH.

    Super, we'll make it happen. I always feel comfortable around the area, kindred spirits with all the agricultural production going on.

    New guy in SW OH.

    Didn't know that. We stay in Jeffersonville every trip up to NY to see the kids/grandkids! Maybe next time I can get the $3 tour of your squares.

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Yeah, I've got a half dozen or more out at the cattle ranch. I stopped buying them for $25 or thereabouts when I got too old and couldn't lift them anymore.

    AC O Rings

    Thanks Alexander. I thought I had read somewhere (here on the forum, or another source) that the green ones were the correct color. Happened to call NAPA and asked them the same question. They sell vehicle specific kits for repair/replacement of all O rings, for $9-10. Costs more for the diesel...

    New guy in SW OH.

    Welcome from N. Texas! Nice looking truck. I always liked the way the single cab duallies look. Has that mean, squatty look. Sort of like a bull getting ready to charge anything that dares to enter his pasture or pen.

    Usa 1 Industries Dash pads

    I wonder if your door panels are in one of those container ships waiting to unload off Los Angeles harbor? Not to worry though, as California has mandated that no internal combustion engine powered vehicle can enter California ports and rail yards after 2035 (edited). The spotted owls and snail...

    AC O Rings

    Getting ready to button up the 91 Burb AC system up. Ordered O rings from LMC, and they sent the requested O rings. They are all black in color, then I realized the original PN's are for a R-12 system. We are converting the system to R-134A. Most of the O rings I see at parts stores are now...

    The loud crack of the turn signal

    You guys must have not any appreciable hearing loss. Sort of like the guy who hears his ball mount rattling as he's driving down the road. YGBSM!

    Ha, just wait until it reaches 48. Then you understand the word exponentially quite clearly.

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Wow, the guy who wrote the offer is good enough to write speeches for Brandon. Chevrolet (and GMC Truck) made thousands of these 9' monsters, and a lot more than 17 were produced in 1950. This series of one tons was a standard catalog offering from 1939 thru 1965. (see my post...

    1991 Suburban AC

    Thanks-that's what I thought, until I found this paragraph on Advance Auto website for converting a R-12 system to R-134A, and I quote: Add the proper Ester or PAG oil to the condenser, compressor and evaporator if necessary. Ester oil is often recommended for use with retrofit systems because...

    1991 Suburban AC

    I thought the same thing. This came from the O'Reilly Tech Support folks, who supposedly hire only the best and brightest for these Tech Support jobs.

    1991 Suburban AC

    Getting the 1991 Suburban V-1500 put back together. We've already sourced new evaporators F&R, Dryer, Condenser, Orifice tube, Rear Expansion Valve, and all electrical switches/relays. Still has the original R-4 compressor installed. question is about the correct oil to use when going from R-12...

    New Member in Virginia

    My dad was stationed at Langley Field, flying P-47's (yeah, I know that was a couple of centuries ago), when I was born. After the USAF & DOD was born on 18 Sep, 1947, the pentagon decided that military families could use any other military medical facility. Langley Field only had a clinic, so...

    Nice stepside diamond plate bunper and rails.

    Thanks Wayne, I sure appreciate your kind offer. After re-reading the ad, it says the rear bumper is a solid chunk of 4" steel bar. There's no way I could even lift that much weight at my age, much less load it in her Yukon for the trip back, not to mention the damage it would do to the...

    Cruisin' the Coast 2022

    Your wife is obviously a keeper if she sees nuances in paint colors. I'm not sure of your status after the wide and heavy views crack. Sucks to be you the hour after (or maybe the whole day?)! :005: :banghead:

    What's the midway point between long bed and short bed?

    Holy crap. I think the way the springs are deflected when you look at the full screen photo, that there's something obviously not correct in this lash-up. No thank you!

    Nice stepside diamond plate bunper and rails.

    No problem buddy. If he'll hold them for me until spring will work for me. My son & GF may be expecting another one then, and I know grandma will insist we go. :) :cool:

    Nice stepside diamond plate bunper and rails.

    Too far for you to travel without a reason. I'll contact the guy and see if he would hold everything till spring. Thanx!!!
