    Damn nice burb

    Apparently not enough to put the correct color dash pad in it. #colorblind

    Junior Toy Corp Tricycle

    Agreed. There may be similar ones like that out there but having the original seat, pedals, and hard rubber tires make yours much more valuable. Edit: Found that it is a Sky King model. Yours is in better condition than the one in this link with a price of $2400...

    Ingersol Rand / Campell Hausfeld

    You buying online or in person? If you can look at each one you'll probably find that the tank is the only thing sourced from within the U.S. IR uses Emerson motors from Mexico (nothing wrong with that) and the pumps are from India. CH tends to have more of a consumer level image than IR, but...

    US General Tool Carts, Tool Chests, Tool Cabinets

    Looks great! But what I really want to know is, how old is that Foghat poster?

    heated bench seats

    I heat my seat the old fashioned way. Only problem is I have to drive around with the windows open.

    smog pump??? how would I find out if my truck had one?

    Is the underhood sticker still there? Was most likely found on the air cleaner housing.

    US General Tool Carts, Tool Chests, Tool Cabinets

    Mine are a couple months shy of eight years of use and still look & work like new. Never had the space for any add-ons and even if I did HF discontinued the pebble finish paint so the current setup will have to do. That's something to think about HotRod, just because they have everything you...

    US General Tool Carts, Tool Chests, Tool Cabinets

    Don't forget there's potential to get some money back if you sell your old boxes. My early 80's C-man set went for $165 in a heartbeat, I should have asked closer to $200. I'd like to see one of those blue boxes get the blackout treatment. It sure helps the looks of the red ones.

    Burb rear bumper impact trim

    That's a rough install if it was done by an importer. If it would pass inspection I'd move things around a bit. For signals I'd put amber bulbs where the reverse lights are and then install some small clear backup lights into the bumper. You would still have to deal with the hacked impact strip...

    Burb rear bumper impact trim

    Yeah, I'd like to see what that looks like. Strange that GM would specify something different for "down under" vehicles.

    Guess The Tool

    These are made by the L.S. Starrett tool company. The longer one is 12" long and the shorter one is 5". They have rubber tips but you can remove the tips to reveal sharp points. The handles are fixed to the base and don't move. The shafts can be turned by hand which slowly rotates the dials on...

    R20 burb pulling left under brakes

    The LSPV affects pressure to the rear brakes but equally side to side, so a pulling issue can't be pinned on that. Adjusting it to prevent rear lockup before the fronts is pretty easy. Clean off the end of the stem that sticks out of the round part of the proportioning valve and make a dot at...

    Damaged block from shipping!

    I saw a gradual shift in policy during my 20 years at FedEx. It started out with "Send it on through" and attaching a note by the QA dept. acknowledging the damage and instructions to contact the shipper blah blah blah. FedEx finally realized this was costing them business and started reversing...

    Damaged block from shipping!

    I drove a regular package van for UPS during the Christmas rush. Part of our training was how to hide visibly damaged packages from the customer. The guy training me said if a package is damaged on one side, you carry the box with the damaged side against your chest and then as you put it down...

    Little help needed with positioning OEM roof rack etc on my 88 Suburban

    So it looks like the correct answer to the OP's question is...put 'em wherever the hell you want to.

    Little help needed with positioning OEM roof rack etc on my 88 Suburban

    I have the rack but no air deflector. I'm measuring 8" from the outer lip of the barn door's rain gutter to the most rearward screw on the rack's footpad. Don't think the measurement is ultra critical, the passenger side is an even 8" but the driver's side is 8.25". Rack is straight despite the...

    Suburban Running Boards

    Rear bracket is located a couple inches aft of the front/rear door gap. Longer front bracket is 31" forward of that. Just those two. Let me know if you need any other pic angles.

    Mobile 1 Annual oil

    I don't doubt that Mobil 1 oil filters are of decent quality in terms of micron filtration, but there's still the matter of physical size for imports and how much contaminates that tiny bit of media can trap. I'm sure if they had a 20k mile oil filter available their marketing guys would be all...

    Mobile 1 Annual oil

    The original Mobil 1 synthetic, which has been around for years, is rated for 15,000 miles so it's not too difficult to imagine that with continued product development that another 5k is possible. The testing for Mobil Annual was done on modern (2015-2016) 4 cylinder turbo engines. They were...

    Aluminum Wheels for 8 Lug Hubs

    I've always thought the later factory wheels didn't look quite right on squares but your flatbed might be able to pull it off. I went with Eagle 186 wheels because they were reasonably priced and just a basic design. After having wheels on other vehicles with a busy pattern I can appreciate how...
