    Water getting in

    Another spot water can get in is in the passenger kick panel. There is a vent there to let fresh air in and I have seen it’s gasket or even the door flap shrink and let water in. The space on the other side of the flap is the same void where the water drains from your cowling area. Only way to...

    What A/C Compressor are you using?

    i do like it. The compressor works great and only bogs the engine down probably 200 RPMs when on. No need for an idle solenoid unless you have one already. The bracket is beefy and allows you to fit multiple belt lengths. I will say this isn’t the cheapest way to go. The bracket itself is 120$...

    What A/C Compressor are you using?

    I went sanden 208, normal pulley system, Custom hoses from coldhose.com, and my bracket I used was from original air. The condenser and evaporator were “stock” from Rockauto.

    Wheel choices for 4x4

    These are my 2 personal favorites. I believe the top is something similar to Pacer 320C. I believe the bottoms are AR62’s. I haven’t decided on which ones I’ll be getting yet.

    Think I need new springs? shocks? ROUGH RIDE

    Beautiful truck! Would look good with 33”s! I bought the tuff country ez-rides 2” lift front and back and it make a pretty big difference. It’s still not going to come close to an ORD spring or c10 ride tho.

    Replacing window trim

    Anyone know of installation instructions on this? Mine came in 1 large strip. Do you cut it to length to get the corner pcs in, or do those pcs fit over the strip? I understand 1 corner but don’t know how the other corner would fit.

    RockAuto floor mats PICS

    For anyone out there looking for carpeted floor mats, I decided to give rock auto a try. They are from a company called ACC (Auto Custom Carpets). I can’t give a review on how they will hold up but they do seem like a quality product. Only thing I’ve noticed so far is they don’t have the hole on...

    PSA- Easy free rust prevention

    Not really sure how you can keep these cleaned out. Rear quarter panel spot just behind the rear wheel where the 2 panels are welded together rusts often. I drilled the spot welds out and cleaning them up best I can.

    Front bed rail bent FIX

    Saw a couple videos on YouTube but figured some on here could use this. I stretched a pc of fishing line across to know when it was perfectly straight.

    Narrowing down the squeaks

    If you can’t stand on the bumper to narrow down where the squeak is coming from then maybe squirt each bushing with wd-40 or so one at a time to try and pin point it. Don’t forget about the rear springs too. Maybe try shooting some between leafs

    Why trans/driveline 'clunks' when I put in reverse? '87 TBI 350 w/700r4

    Let us know if you figure it out tho! Start with the rear end and work your way to the trans. I would assume your problem lies there. Check diff yoke for side play and drive shaft for rotation

    A/C Conversion

    I’m not sure if there’s any way to find a leak other than putting Freon/dye in and charging the system. Then you would have to evacuate the system again to repair the leak. With R-12 being so pricey that could be a large bill. So your options are You can rent a vacuum pump and gauges from...
