    Tried to break in the new motor today, no crank.

    Nothing. At all. Power to lights and gauges. Nothing when I turn the switch. Carried the starter to O'reilly's and it is fine. Changed the fusible link on the firewall. Changed the ignition switch and neutral safety switch. Still nothing. I'm fucking pissed. Been waiting on this forever. Worked...

    Cab Mounts...Worth the Money?

    Wow. I forgot about this thread. Haven't had time to work on the truck for a while and I haven't been on here. Reading this site gets me excited about working on the truck, and when I can't work on it, I try not to get to fired up. I figured this thread was just kinda gonna die off but I...

    Cab Mounts...Worth the Money?

    I noticed my cab mounts look pretty shitty: LMC wants something like $140 for a rubber kit, and $70 for polyurethane, but I found these http://www.ebay.com/itm/131180330178?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649. The board really seems to like Energy Suspension, so I'm leaning...

    Parking Brake Strut Spring

    I used the springs from the first link. Worked like a charm. Thanks y'all.

    Parking Brake Strut Spring

    The only thing I'm missing is the one spring one each side. The only things that are original parts are the strut and emergency brake lever. O'Reillys does have a kit that is supposed to completely overhaul the drum brakes, but the spring isn't pictured. Granted, it could just be a general pic...

    Parking Brake Strut Spring

    Yeah. That's what I was hoping I could do but I wanted a second opinion from somebody who knows more than I do. I figured it would be OK. So that's what I'll do. Thanks 89Sub.

    Parking Brake Strut Spring

    As I sometimes do, I got the cart before the horse on the rear brake overhaul. When I ordered the hardware kit, I just saw a shit load of springs and stuff and assumed it came with everything under the drum. Wrong, of course. But since I thought I was getting new parts, I trashed the old...

    White Tripod Mirrors

    John, I never thought about that. I never think about the fabrication side of this stuff. I stopped in to update, I've been watching eBay for a few weeks for one. I finally found one this morning and I ordered it. Thanks for the thoughts and ideas y'all. I appreciate it.

    White Tripod Mirrors

    I'm really stuck on the white. That's one of the things I'm sticking to on the truck. Pretty much anywhere that would be chrome was white and I want to try to keep that look. Green, I need the bracket. I've seen the head on amazon and a few other places in white. And we actually found a head...

    White Tripod Mirrors

    I can't find them anywhere. Stainless steel all day long. But I can't find a set of white ones. Like this The mount holes look like this Obviously, I'm missing the passenger side mirror. I can buy a new mirror in white, but not the mounting bracket. Not that I can find anyway. I...

    Anyone use Purple Hornies + Longtube Headers?

    Really glad I found this before I tried this myself. Would have been real disappointed to have ordered some just to have them not bolt up.

    Water in my Diff..

    I came here to post this. It's 14 degrees outside, with a wind chill of about 3. I don't do weather like this. It's too cold to be out messing with the truck. I don't think I'm going to pull the carrier out myself. I worry about the bearing preload and what not. I figure I can do more harm than...

    Water in my Diff..

    We'll. I had been planning on going thru the wheel bearings any way. So I guess I'll break the axles down and check everything out real well. I'll pop out the carrier and replace the inner axle seal while I'm at it. And anything else that needs it while it's apart. It will be Monday at the...

    Water in my Diff..

    So I've been out freezing my ass off cleaning these things up. Here's how the front looks now: Here's how the ring gear looks. It doesn't seem too bad. I don't know how well it comes across in the pic, but it doesn't seem to be pitted. I doesn't feel rough. It's mostly just...

    Water in my Diff..

    So I guess it seems I'll just have to see how it goes. I'm going to get the brake cleaner a hold of it tomorrow. I should be able, to pull the axles, undo the bearing caps and pull the carrier and check out the bearings shouldn't I? As long as any shims go back the same it shouldn't be a...

    Water in my Diff..

    Today I pulled the diff covers off to check out what kind of shape everything was in, and to find out for sure what ratio I'm running. I popped the front cover off to find this: What came out was mostly water. The rear wasn't too bad. Had some water in it, but mostly just needed...

    Sharp truck man, and not too far from home. I always thought a 5.3 in one of these trucks would be bad ass. From one new guy to another, welcome aboard.

    From Alabama

    Hey y'all, I started thinking about getting my dads truck, a '78 K10 "Ol' Blue", running again and a guy I work with who has a real nice Squarebody pointed me here. I've got to say, this is a pretty sweet site. I've learned a lot from here. I finally bit the bullet and decided to...
