    Help!!! With getting main bearing to roll in

    If you have a standard transmission maybe the input shaft is holding the crank up, if an automatic maybe it's the torque converter/flexplate.

    I'm not sure if loosening every bolt that holds the crank in place will help, (from the balancer to transmission)

    Buy an autometer diesel tach part #3788, clamp the pickup to the housing, follow the instructions and you are good to go. KISS, there is no need to re-invent the wheel.

    The tach that I put on my 6.2 NA had a pick-up that clamped to the housing. I don't recall where I bought it or what brand, ask mr. google.

    WANTED: Interior trim pieces 86 C10 Preferably Beige/Tan color and Door panels

    I've had doors for my '37 GMC shipped via Greyhound Bus from CA to MA. I don't recall the cost but I didn't have heart failure. A bunch of plastic parts shouldn't be a big deal. I needed to pick up at the closest bus terminal, just a thought.

    Anybody know how to clean this?

    I've had pretty good luck with "Gunk" engine degreaser. Smells a lot like kerosene and safer than gasoline.

    If on a budget, pop out a good stud to measure and match it up at your local parts store. Don't be surprised if it a 12m x 1.5.

    Engine oil cooler hoses

    I have never had good luck with Dorman hoses, whether for a 6.5TD. 6.2NA, or a BBC. I ended up using AN fittings and braided stainless hose. Your results may differ.

    If it's a 1500 with a 305, most likely came with a 700R4 and has been changed to a th400. What does the gear indicator have for letters?

    Auxiliary Battery Tray

    You might be able to make an '81 or newer tray work. I looked at my '85 with dual batteries and the only difference I can see between it and my '74 are the stamped holes. Just a thought.
