    Best gun for metallics

    So After months of looking for a topper for my 84, I may have found one, for free!!!! Anyhow, gonna paint it to match my truck. It’s a blue metallic paint. I’ve never painted before, but I will be painting this myself. Who’s sprayed metallic before and which type of gun will work best for a...

    TCI or B&M tv cable

    Yeah I ended up with the TCI one. Adjustable length. Seems like a good piece. Gonna try to get a second barrel nut or whatever they’re called to put on the end of the cable at the throttle linkage. As a backup. If there’s a weak spot I think that would be it. 2 instead of 1.

    Can you run a 700r4 WITHOUT electrical connection?

    Thanks Ricko Just getting back home from my 2 week rotation wwwwaaaayyyyy up north finally. Got the trans and transfer case back in. Linkages and some smaller items to take care of before it’s all “done”. Took the pan and filter off to check out the wiring situation. It’s a little different...

    And use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat the grommet up to make it more pliable as well.

    What plans do you have for your trucks

    84 4x4 with 350 and 700r4. My plan is to get the rebuilt transmission back in and start driving it year round as my daily driver everywhere. Sold my “new” truck so this is it. Make as many minor improvements as I see fit and keep slathering on the rust check lol to keep it from disintegrating...

    door lock cylinder not working on passenger side

    Hmm Never really looked that hard at them but maybe two of the same were in the package??? Something to check I guess. Everything else seems silky smooth movement wise.

    Prefence for what websites/outlets you buy stuff from?

    Not sure if they’re still around but RPM Reproductions is a Canadian place I’ve gotten Nova stuff from before. BC outfit I think. Codfish

    Prefence for what websites/outlets you buy stuff from?

    Haven’t had to buy anything that’s very squarebody specific lately. I’d prefer to buy locally first, followed by online places like summit, kegs, or whatever. Rock auto has been great as well. Biggest problem living here in Canada is the shipping from all of these places!! A $15 part from...

    Radiator recore or buy new?

    Yup I once put a new Griffen rad in my 68 Dart with a 528” bigblock. Lasted a whopping 3 days before it started to leak where the tubes are glued/epoxied to the tanks!! Place I bought it from (or Griffen) wouldn’t honour the warranty because it sat in my garage for a year before it actually...

    Radiator recore or buy new?

    After removing the transmission from my 84 a couple of weeks ago I noticed my rad was leaking. Great!! Found one place that recores locally. Quoted +/- $1000 !!! Jeez that’s what I’m being charged to rebuild the 700r4!! I know it’s time consuming and the rising costs of metals but…. I...

    How to test torque converter lockup solenoid

    Thanks for the advice and replies. My transmission is still sitting on the garage floor waiting for me to get back home from work so I can get it to the guy who is going to rebuild it for me. I work away for 2 weeks at a time. A few new parts I have ordered have trickled in for it. I feel I...

    What gauge size/diameter to replace stock ??

    Thanks for the info and great pics guys. Got me thinking now. Trying to keep it as stockish looking as possible so the smaller ones may be the best option for me. Now it’s a matter of how many I change out. $$$$$$$$$ Thanks again Codfish

    What gauge size/diameter to replace stock ??

    Hi Looking to add a trans temp gauge in my 84 K10. What diameter aftermarket gauge (ie Autometer) should I order to fit into the unused spot on my dash? I’m away from home for a couple weeks so I can’t measure it. Thanks Codfish

    Can you run a 700r4 WITHOUT electrical connection?

    I guess I should also mention that the truck won’t see a ton of driving where overdrive will be needed or used, but when it does see some hiway miles it’ll be a nice option for sure.

    Can you run a 700r4 WITHOUT electrical connection?

    Thanks for the info guys. I’ve got the plug ordered for the lockup connector on the trans. I definitely plan on getting the lockup functioning again. Not necessarily with the brake switch and what not, but a switch and relay for sure. Been watching a few videos about the different ways to...

    TCI or B&M tv cable

    Or any other similarly priced one? Lokar is kinda pricy once I have it shipped here to Canada. Lots of cheaper “billet” ones available but they scare me.

    TCI or B&M tv cable

    Can you run a 700r4 WITHOUT electrical connection?

    Ok guys I saw examples online of guys adding pressure switches to the exterior of the transmission, and thought that’s what y’all were referring to. Sorry. I guess this trans already has a pressure switch inside from the factory. It just wasn’t working obviously as no wiring was connected to...

    How to test torque converter lockup solenoid

    Can I hook up a 12 volt source to the 4 pin connector on my 700r4 to see if the lockup solenoid is functioning? If so which of the pins in the connector is 12 volt in? Looks like only 3 of the 4 pins are/were used. I don’t have the wiring going to the trans so I’ll just use the pins in the...

    Can you run a 700r4 WITHOUT electrical connection?

    My trans doesn’t have any pressure ports for a switch. Not sure if all years have them or not.
