    Best Cordless Tools?

    there are battery adapters available to use any battery with any tool. i saw it on a youtube video a while back. it's an option if you have a lot of good older 18 volt tools and want to use new 20 volt technology.

    Suburban Project- Need Help!

    i have to believe that once the engine is on a stand and the heads and pan are off a little bumping of the pistons with a wood block and light hammer will convince the pistons to release. on another engine story, in the early years of drag racing, Don garlits would tow his engine less dragster...

    Suburban Project- Need Help!

    i would have the original engine rebuilt with some type of RV cam, add an intake and hedders if CA allows that. prices in PA for that entire package would be around $2,500 total. you end up with a fresh reliable engine that makes more torque than you started with.

    Rust repair questions

    i would start with the rocker and inner rocker. now you have the perimiter for the floor pan and put the support in last. i'm lot a bodyman but i have done a few using this sequence with good success. put the corner in last.

    Aftermarket bed issues

    i would remove the bed and remove the bulkhead to see where contact is being made. probably just trim some sheetmetal or elongate a few holes to get the desired width

    Heated & Cooled power leather seats

    nice job. i did the same thing using lexus rx350 seats in my '81 c10. biggest challenge is to get them low enough with the crazy floor pan ups and downs. tilt wheel helps. comfortable seating is high on my list of priorities as well as yours.

    i would look for a used squarebody plow truck with a good working plow and move the plow frame over to your truck. not a lot of work. dont forget to add timbrin overload bump stops to replace the stock ones. i have been doing exactly what you intend to do for 17 years with a used $300 meyer...

    Mismatching front and rear tire sizes with 4x4

    you should be just as aware of tire age as tread. with age they will lose wet weather traction and flexibility as the temperature drops no matter how good the tread looks. in my mind a 5 year old tire is too old.

    engine oil

    if you are not adding zink additive to a flat tappet motor you are simply rolling the dice. is $8 gonna break the bank? i lost a cam for that very reason. not worth the gamble

    LMC should be proud

    i used LMC on 3 builds over a period of 14 years and never have i felt that the parts were not usable or inferior. patch panels, interior, and smalls. i either have incredible luck or low standards.
