    K5 Tailgate Closing Assist

    Almost bet a paycheck the hinges are seized. Very common. Still think you’re a sissy for struggling but they do get stiff. (The hinges that is) Ben

    Looking at 92 Yukon for my son

    The frames rot behind the front wheels where it kicks out towards the rocker panels. The front tires kick up dirt/salt whatever and the frame takes it hard. Look there really good just to make sure. I also am a fan of the gmt400’s for their looks and simplicity. Abs is very simple on those, got...

    1976 vin number. How many digits is your vin?

    plates don’t follow the vehicle in Maine. Guy I bought it from never registered it. It’s a project he never got to it. moral of the story is yes, I got lazy while doing paperwork at the guys house and we didn’t complete the bill of sale. My bad for sure.

    1976 vin number. How many digits is your vin?

    you gotta read my first post again. I have found the vin on the frame but it’s a partial vin. With help, I’ve not been able to put together the complete vin that I need. up here any vehicle older than 96 we don’t need a title. Not only do you not need a title, the state WILL NOT issue a title...

    1976 vin number. How many digits is your vin?

    can you find the vin on your frame? Is the frame vin the first set of numbers of your 13 digit vin or the last? ben

    1976 vin number. How many digits is your vin?

    The tag in the door jamb is missing on my truck. The frame is literally mint condition and I’ve found the vin number is two places clear as day. It’s only 9 digits. I know older trucks don’t have the 17 digit standardized VIN. Just want to make sure 9 is enough and the same that you guys have...

    1976 non a/c heater box

    The heater box in my truck has been just demolished by mice. It was completely full of nests and has rotted out most of the metal doors and dividers in there. The plastic housing is fine so even just the metal pieces would be fine. That would make things easier to ship too I’d think. I did...

    How long does your Q-jet hold fuel in the bowl?

    Back on topic….. Look what I got by accident today. A fuel filter for the quadrajet that has a built in check valve. Pretty sweet. I’ll be putting this in soon to try out. I was going to buy an external check valve but no longer need to. ben.

    How long does your Q-jet hold fuel in the bowl?

    I thought the same exact thing about flow back but then I pictured the new style needle seat and am thinking it could actually be a possibility. Ben

    How long does your Q-jet hold fuel in the bowl?

    Here’s the difference between stock and “high flow needle seat”. Stock fuel would have to defy gravity and jump up to flow back out the needle. New style can run out the side window area. That’s what came in my kit, I didn’t order it specifically for more power or anything. This may be the...

    How long does your Q-jet hold fuel in the bowl?

    I could try a check valve to see if that helps. The new needle and seat is the “window” style so if a little fuel does boil off (which I believe it does) then when the float drops, the rest of the fuel can easily drain back through the opening in the bottom of the seat fitting/insert thingy...

    How long does your Q-jet hold fuel in the bowl?

    What I’m getting at is how many days does your q-jet hold fuel so when you go to start it and pump the throttle, it’s actually squirting fuel? My 82 with a Holley will last literally the better part of a month before I have extended cranking to get fuel to the bowl and accelerator pump. My 86...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    yes please. Hopefully you’ll get them in soon so I can see how the fits meant is. Ben

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Where did you get patch panels that thick? I need some floor supports inner and outer rockers and cab corners. I’d rather get thick stuff if that’s snootily. Ben

    Headliner Woes

    Put a console from an 89-91 suburban and that’ll hold up the front section. Then just add a cross in the rear maybe. ben

    Headliner Woes

    ok gotcha. That’s a bummer. I guess I’d make some strips like the one that divides the front and rear section, and at each cross brace in the roof, I’d screw to that. It’d look decent and keep the headliner up.

    Headliner Woes

    Is it the fabric that’s sagging or the actual cardboard backing? My headliner was sagging in my 87 and I just recovered it myself with new headliner fabric. The cardboard was in great shape. Yes I’m in Maine and not down south but the truck is originally from down south until last year. It’s a...

    Stranded… could use some ideas.

    I’ve had pick up tubes in my big rigs crack and will suck air before fuel. Most crack at the top so they just suck air. But I’ve had one crack half way Down so full tank it ran fine, half tank nope. Just an idea. I big on diagnosing problems and not just throwing parts. But at this point, you...

    For those in the know, 1974 3/4 ton 4X4, new WARN manual hubs, simple bolt on?

    The 76 3/4 ton I just got has a 203 that the previous owner put spicer manual locking hubs on but seems to not have done the part time conversion. Which is fine with me. I’d rather have the transfer case stock and not deal with oiling issues like the part time conversion has. Ben
