    Is anyone having any luck buying a vehicle from Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace right now?

    Prices are always way out of reality at Carlisle! Been like that forever. You have to watch what u buy. Seen a few butcher jobs with nice shiny paint.

    Is anyone having any luck buying a vehicle from Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace right now?

    Yeah I shocked at crazy prices people want for trucks. What I buy is usually the ones that can't be saved. I salvage all parts that I can and sell or keep them for myself. I see posted trucks for 5-10K that I wouldn't pay 2K for!

    Is anyone having any luck buying a vehicle from Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace right now?

    I just got on facebook. It's a lot more complicated than CL. Unfortunately in my area everyone I do business with looks on FB 1st. I used to have over 50 ads a one time posted on CL. I only post a couple ads now, just don't have time for any more. Scammers are everywhere on both sites. Any ad...

    Retrosound Hermosa or Custom Autosound?

    15x8 Wheel Backspacing on K10

    Anything more than 4" backspacing will hit the tie rod on a 15" wheel.

    37s on a half ton with a 12 bolt with 4.10 gears

    Previous Square I drove had 36" Swamper's and 4.10 gears. I had a stock 350 and TH350 trans. It was fine normal driving, but was a little sluggish on accel towing heavy.

    Keyed the same ignition switches

    Yes all CUCV use the same key for all locks. That's the first thing I changed on mine. As far as recoding the ignition I've never done one. They are serviced by a new precoded cylinder. The door locks can be recoded to whatever u want. Have had many recoded at the dealer I work at.

    Door Window Install - Killin' Me!!!

    I've always removed glass at the full bottom position. The are tricky. I stripped dozens of doors. They always come out easy, but going back in is a mess. Sometimes I unbolt the regulator to help. One trick I do to protect the glass from scratches is put a piece of thin cardboard over glass.

    chevy 350/290 crate engine

    I second the gear ratio. Any truck I had with 308 or 273 was a dog off the line. That was always the 1st improvement I would do. 3.42 or 373 are the best ratios for a 31" tire.

    Steering Stabilizer on a C10

    I have a stabilizer on my 3/4 2wd Burb. It does help dampen the feel of the road, but mine still wanders some. I am thinking about trying a better quality steering box. Maybe check that really good for play in your steering.

    Brake pedal needs manually reset after depressing

    Your welcome. Just make sure to get a new one. Reman pumps are junk. Mine was from BBB Industries.

    Brake pedal needs manually reset after depressing

    I didn't have any pedal problem with my hydroboost, but I did have a moan/groan noise intermittently in my Burb. I had just replaced a leaking hydroboost with one I pulled off a donor truck. Luckily I decided to replace the pump and not swap out the booster. Haven't heard any noise in over 6...
