    '78 long bed value

    :beatdeadhorse5:Again ! I can’t believe the “what is it worth?” question is still being asked. As stated..and as always, it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay. There is always Too many variables to ever state or estimate a value.

    Tailgate hinge and trunion

    Do you mean you ordered the hinges from Holley? the Trunnions attach to the bed sides, the hinges attach to the tailgate. I’m assuming you wrote the wrong word… because if you ordered the Trunnions from Holley/Brothers…well honestly they’re junk!

    Be sure to buy a quality set of hinges to mate with the Trunnions. find the ones with thick cup walls, (some I see are very flimsy and easily fail)

    Little tips and tricks

    Did you know, the galvanized ashtray can be polished to a bright shine? A bench polisher and a fine abrasive (Tripoli). It’s an easy way to put a finishing touch on the interior

    Filling a k10 wheel well, best wheel to tire ratio

    @Kasey 1977 K10 great looking truck ! And I agree, a larger tire would look better and give it the right stance.

    Looking at a 1984 and have questions

    Run away, run fast! $2,500-$2,900 for a pos that needs everything? you would have to put in another 10K minimum to make it a nice rig. Unless it’s a challenge you’re looking for, combined with a lot of headaches… Find a cleaner, more sorted and complete truck. I found a complete and rust free...

    Dash Rehab for a Radio

    You guys are killin‘ me… There should be a law against cutting/hacking up a dash for a radio ! But I understand that previous owners sometimes did the damage. There are many options of new Stereos that fit the original dash and many different type patch kits to do the job right.

    New Trans pan and gasket for TH350… Torque setting

    Hey guys, I’ve been experiencing trans fluid leaks around my trans pan, th350… I have a new aluminum pan and rubber gasket. I’ve heard they will still leak if the bolts are over tightened. What torque should I put on the pan bolts? The bolts are the new stainless hex (Allen key) style.

    truck is not sitting level - need help diagnosing

    Great looking truck!, I do see a front bumper alignment issue. It’s a little lower on the left (Driver’s side) than the right. Maybe enough to trick the eye? IDK… But I also have OCD ;)

    15x10 Steelies

    White Steelies with caps would be the very best look for your truck ! Go for it ! it’s just such a classic and tough look… and never goes out of style. @Zayshley Although for your application, 16X8 would be best. A 10” wheel would be too wide. Eckler’s has them
