Headliner Woes
Can you fiberglass cross bows to the top of the headliner? I'm thinking something the the batten strips in a sail or something along those lines going side to side. Something like this with some spring to it... -

What have you done to your square lately??
I parked my truck at the body shop for a month only to be told Friday that he sold his shop and it would be another month before he could get to it at his home shop. Does that qualify as doing something or doing nothing to my square? -

Headliner install in no-factory-headliner cab?
There is actually 8 trim pieces on a regular cab truck. You have the pillars and the whole perimeter of the headliner. The factory just used sheet metal screws for the trim and I'm guessing they didn't predrill, I suspect they just ran them in. The only screws through the headliner are the... -
Terrible camber
Mine isn’t quite as bad and I have a 3” drop spindle and a 3” drop spring. I’m looking into control arms for mine but undecided whether I’ll stay with springs or go to airbags.- Big Chip

Terrible camber
You may have to get some new control arms to correct the shim problem but let us know if the ball joint works. Something like this: https://westernchassis.com/1973-87-chevy-c10-truck-tubular-control-arm-set-upper-and-lower/- Big Chip

700R4 went out while towing. Culprit?
If you were in OD that's going to be most of your issue I think. I would get it rebuilt and roll with it and remember to use 3rd when hauling anything besides your lunchbox.- Big Chip

We are almost strictly rock salt where I'm at unless the county is particularly poor. Some counties will only plow on weekdays and put sand down on the ice that was created from driving on the unplowed roads. It's good times. -

I had the guy send me pictures of all the places Michigan trucks rust so imagine my surprise when he met me at the airport with the truck. I had sequoia needles packed in the cowl and bottoms of the fenders just to keep everything nice and damp at all times. -

Also, do you guys in Oregon just use your lumberjack axe to chop the radio holes bigger? -

New member 76 C20 3/4 ton 2 wheel drive 2/4" lowering options,pics
I have dropped spindles and drop springs, the rear is notched with an axle flip and airbags but it's a 6/8 drop. I am going to change the Belltech spindles for Western Chassis spindles one of these days because the tie rod comes up from the bottom with the Belltech and you get some bump steer...- Big Chip
