    Front Hubcap for 4x4 3/4 ton

    Anybody have a front hubcap for a 3/4 or 1 ton 4x4? Preferably with the hole in it already. I am looking for just one for a bar table I am making for my man cave. I have a bent 8 lug wheel from my truck for the base and I thought having a hubcap on it with the center cut out would be cool...

    Makes you wonder why that low of a number? 16,000... okay maybe believable. 1,600... BS meter on high alert.

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Here's a better deal... 1615 mile truck for $8000! I don't know whether to call bs on the mileage or not. Undercarriage seems way too dirty and rusty to have been in a "garage" for 30 years. But MI is known for it's humidity and my dad and I do take precautions against it in...

    Somehow I missed this in my search last night. That's in my neck of the woods.

    What is my Gas mileage on my truck ?

    You asked the SAME question back in the end of July. There are so many variables we would only be guessing. CSFJ and MikeB have both now given you the formula to figure it out. Please report back when you figure it out.

    Time for an Engine build

    I have found that Rich is a wealth of solid experience based information, as are a lot of guys on here. Looking forward to your impressions when this is in and running! I have a 400 in my truck and have been running combos through my head for a long time. I am itching to do something with...

    Gold paint

    Actually, yes, it looks like they did. I took a pic of my '79 brochure that had the paint colors on the back. Specifically check out the Light Camel Metallic in the bottom left. That is the closest to a gold for '79.

    Temptation

    You are talking just the turbo, correct? Here is my .02.... If it's cheap, there is a reason! Even if you do get it and have it rebuilt, is it really the right turbo for what you what it for? Do some research on turbo sizing and go from there. Honestly, make sure you can handle doing...

    Exhaust Manifold with O2 bung...

    Yea, RangRayy is the man. When the engine goes back in the Monte, LT headers will be going in with it. You will need to wait for my tuning results. It won't be until next spring until I get the chance. I do plan on starting with a compression test and leak-down test to begin with, just...

    Exhaust Manifold with O2 bung...

    Thanks to RangRayy, I will have one in my possession very soon! I have had some people off the board question why I am doing this. My answer is two-fold. One, it gets me knowledge on how to tune both the distributor and carb utilizing both a vacuum gauge and an O2 sensor. Just more...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    :happy107: Yay! You painted it Chevy blue and NOT Chevy Orange! I don't know why but I love the blue and hate the orange.

    LS Conversion From 400

    Your situation is eerily similar to mine. '79 Camper Special with a 400 that is not going to get driven all the time. Here is my .02 on top of the good advice already given... The 400... Built with some thought and consideration, this will be a great torque orientated motor that you will...

    Exhaust Manifold with O2 bung...

    Yea, I know I can one from RockAuto for about $80. But I am the epitome of cheap and was hoping someone had one they were tripping over and just wanted to get rid of for dirt cheap. I had originally thought about using the manifold from my Monte, but they go up instead of down from the ports...

    Exhaust Manifold with O2 bung...

    Pretty sure this would be the driver side manifold from a 87-91, with a small block. I am considering putting one on my truck so I can stick a wideband sensor into the stock port and do some tuning on my truck next spring. I am not ready to do headers and a new exhaust yet, otherwise I would...

    Accessory wiring/junction block

    Electrical is not my strong suit, but in my head this is sound logic. Do a little research on some of the newer trucks and see how they are set up. I am thinking of more 88-07 years, ones that would be in a junkyard. It seems like they would have it set up to where the main battery lead...

    Tow mirrors on K20

    Don't necessarily need to lose your vent window. Here is how I saw one way of mounting... Didn't see a full shot of the whole truck that showed the mirrors however. What kind of mirrors do you have now? I have the original "tripod" mirrors, with the smaller mounts, that I use some...

    Saw it done on a different forum. Personally, I thought it looked gawd awful terrible.

    Alternator upgrade

    I did the same sort of thing to my truck. I had "problems" with the alternator when I need to remove the intake manifold. When it came time to put it back together I simply grabbed the alternator from my Monte SS and stuck it in the truck. When the Monte needs one, I will either get the...

    Cam found but...

    I agree with 74, now is the time to learn to wrench on your own stuff. Labor rates are stupid high to have a shop do it. $75/hr is pretty standard by me. They will probably charge you for 5-6 hrs. of labor to do a cam change, I am guessing. That's a good $400 just in labor! You can buy...

    Cracked vortech heads on a "new" engine?

    Will you post some more pictures of your current set-up? From both sides of the vehicle and some closer shots of all the connections that have coolant flowing through them. Just thinkin' out loud... Have you checked the torque of the intake bolts? According to the instructions they only...

    I found the perfect headers for 67/86 C10 K20

    Thank you for the review! I am glad to hear they work great for you. These are the ones I am planning on using also.
