    Under dash light

    If it is the fan motor, at least that is easy enough to get to unlike a lot of new vehicles!

    Under dash light

    Oh man!! Been there & done that! I was thinking it was a single contact, but been so long I could not remember. Don't feel stupid, think of all the goofy little kinda crap we all learned here! Now, if you do something like this again I may ask if you have learned your lesson. (I just wanna know...

    Under dash light

    Did this particular light not ever work at all, or just one day stopped working? If you remove that washer spacer you put in there and place the bulb back in while pressing it firmly into the socket and wobbling it does it even flicker? I would do this with the doors closed and the headlight...

    Under dash light

    Huh, that's an interesting one. You are using the correct bulb, right? Is it the single pin on the bottom of the light? I think.... Anyhow, what shape is your socket in? Even if it looks clean it may not have good contact, I have had that in the past. I usually remove the socket if possible and...

    Block hugger headers for 455 Olds in GMC truck...??

    @Ricko1966 @Matt69olds I did some more digging online and stumbled upon these headers, which should work just fine as they stated to replace the factory cast iron manifolds with no modifications needed for anything... https://www.oldsparts.com/product/400-455-ci-headers/

    Block hugger headers for 455 Olds in GMC truck...??

    Block hugger headers for 455 Olds in GMC truck...??

    Thanks guys, I will have to keep that in mind!! That I feel would make it easier to run the exhaust I want. These exhaust mainfolds on there originally had a crossover pipe and exited out the one manifold to the exhaust system.

    Starts then stalls. Stumped.

    @Squirrely Brother I think you need a dude like this to work on it for you with Odie the dog (start it at 1:04). It may not be the ticket, but this may make you chuckle a bit! (Wolfman Jack is the voice of the leader).

    1955 Chevrolet Bel Air More Door For A 16 Year Old

    So what are your plans with the body? Man, that baby has some sweeeeet Patina!!!! If this were my 55 (it isn't, so my opinion here means nothing!) I would leave that body the way it is, do up the interior & throw in that engine you got, get that baby mechanically sound and road safe and drive...

    Bummer man. Those get to be long days...way too long, been there before!

    @Squirrely Brother have you had any luck?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well, the underside and floorboards will be glad to tell you a different story!! :D The outside of it has some surface rust, but holy balls a lot of metal was eaten away on it. I am making it road safe, may do a frame off down the road however. (I have a build thread in Under Construction in...

    To buy or not to buy? 1977 GMC short bed Ebay $4200

    That is the part mounted under the bed on the passengers side (I think), correct? I am going to assume my dually has a good one, and I should not need that part.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well, I have not done a dang thing yet with my square besides get a parts list together for the engine items I need. However, something cool did happen. The guy that originally built my dually found me and reached out to me and said it looked like his old one! Sure enough it was. I apologize...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Dang man!!! I did not know you did that kind of stuff, that is such a freakin' art too! I really dig the hand engraving & stenciling that is done on some of the vintage saxophones I have seen, some of the stuff is wild. Would love some year to get my bigass Bari sax custom engraved at some...

    Yes this one does have dual tanks on it.

    To buy or not to buy? 1977 GMC short bed Ebay $4200

    I agree, I have seen it happen many times with some hard to find vintage snowmobiles. One person says even the brand/model & others know who has one (as they are hard to find), next thing you know the guy that had posted due to excitement lost out on it because others jumped on it.

    Gauge Cluster--73 to 87 (100mph speedo, clock, no O.D., no tach)

    Anyone interested in this cluster? Another thing I could certainly do is swap out the volts & temp gauge from my old cluster to the one for sale, or give them to whomever wants to buy it at no extra cost of course.

    Block hugger headers for 455 Olds in GMC truck...??

    True. I have scaled many-a things at work doing this same thing. Never thought of doing that.....then again I don't like to think if I don't have to :D I do like the style of the first set of headers though, wish I could find them for this 455. In this case however, beggers cannot be choosers....

    To buy or not to buy? 1977 GMC short bed Ebay $4200

    I have a green 76 GMC that I will be parting out at some point. I have not paid much attention to the condition of the green pieces, but I will not be needing them. Which green pieces would you need, if you are looking for used?

    Block hugger headers for 455 Olds in GMC truck...??

    Here are the ones I can find...but have the concern about hitting the crossmember.

    Block hugger headers for 455 Olds in GMC truck...??

    Good idea, I was hoping to find something like the below for this Olds engine...no luck though. All I can find for these is for 307 to 403 Olds...

    Block hugger headers for 455 Olds in GMC truck...??

    I actually do not have any, my concern was about the headers hitting the crossmember, or not having enough space for a bend in a 3" pipe for the collector....I suppose what I could do is buy some and see if they fit, and if they do not fit be sure I can return them..??
