    HRPC--Skip White Distributor

    I didn't want to hijack another thread but HRPC mentioned Skip White distributors in another thread. Since they have a different way of listing parts than I am used to I thought I would double check here on the right one for my `77 454. From what I am seeing, the right one would be...

    3/8 flex head ratchet

    New tool box.

    The boss has two stores and though I work out of one I stop in the other one on a regular basis to pick up parts. The other store has had a 3 piece 13 drawer tool chest sitting out since I started and kept joking that if they didn't move it by Christmas I would have to take it home. Turns out...

    3/8 flex head ratchet

    The shop I work for is attached to a NAPA store. I get an employee discount on purchases there and decided that I would break down and pick up that 3/8" swivel ratchet. I was floored at the markup that is on tools. Let's just say I could have bought 2 at my cost for what they retail for and...

    Vintage VW Guy Now Has A Chevy

    I have the spare, just not the jack. Found out how useful that was when the wife picked up a screw last month. :(

    L31 (Vortec 5700) swap

    Anytime I see discussions about EGR I go back to the same place: The idea of an EGR is like the idea that you eat your own shit to get the nutrients you missed the first time. It may look good on paper but it just doesn't make sense in the real world.

    Tow Trucks, Wreckers and Car Hauler Discussion

    Yikes!! Nothing like a good snowfall to show you how much of a freakin rookie you are. Let's see, I made the boss buy a bumpercuz I did something wrong. I just about dropped an Envoy down a steep drive into a house, managed to avoid hitting the house but I think the owner had to change his...

    Tow Trucks, Wreckers and Car Hauler Discussion

    They can be painted, not polished. I washed 3 of the 4 trucks Wednesday and at the end of the day had to take the big rollback up the freakin mountain so it was covered in dirt and sand again. Of course none of that really matters, it snowed at sea level last night (still snowing actually) so...

    Tow Trucks, Wreckers and Car Hauler Discussion

    OK, Work trucks that are white and full of stainless and chrome are about as useful as tits on a boar. Fine for a show truck but a pain in the ass for a daily worker. That is all...

    Where should I shop for a lift?

    Every time I see the title of the thread I start out thinking it is about buying a shop lift. I guess my mind is in a different place.

    Tow Trucks, Wreckers and Car Hauler Discussion

    I spend most of my time in a rollback right now but need to start spending more time in one of the conventionals. I stay with the rollback mostly because I do a lot of residence to shop tows. There is less wear and tear on the dolly using a rollback. Too many 25 mile tows over interstate but...

    Tow Trucks, Wreckers and Car Hauler Discussion

    I guess I became a real tow operator today... At least that is what they tell me now that I dropped a truck. :emotions33: Had a bad day in the best way possible I guess. I was sent to pick up an old ford bucket truck that weighed in at around 11,000 lbs. This was the largest vehicle I had...

    Fuel filler keeps backing up... Ideas?

    Did you do anything that could have led to the fill hose getting kinked? Either that or someone stuck something in your tank. That's all that makes sense to me at this point. :(

    C to K conversion

    So I have my 77 C30 and I am thinking about trying to convert to 4wd. I figure the easiest way to do this is to just pick up a donor vehicle and scavenge what I need off the donor. Question is, what years should I look at for a donor? My understanding is I will need to change the TH400 that I...

    Please Welcome GotExhaust.com to the forum

    When you are entering info on your truck in order to search parts, you may want to add a spot for engine. When I searched for my truck there was one exhaust kit for my truck. When I double checked it, it was for the wrong engine. I understand that with engine swaps and all that you won't...

    Tow Trucks, Wreckers and Car Hauler Discussion

    That's the one. I had 10 hours just in that one trip. Today I had my first real solo accident recovery. I had one a couple weeks ago but it was just a fender bender. This one was car vs pole broadside. He hit the pole just behind the drivers door and crunched it in about 18". It bent the...
