    1984 K20 Suburban Fender Flare

    Those were on my truck when I got it, and they were just as bucket described… ugly, hiding something uglier.

    Th700 cooler line nuts & tools

    The “Crows Foot” socket comes in handy a lot of times… Use Anti-Sieze on the threads when reassembling, don’t over tighten it and distort the flare.

    208 Milky fluid

    Check the vent on the top, it’s a bent metal tube with a short piece of hose and vent cap.

    Custom fabric inlays on dash side panels- how to attach fabric?

    The original plastic plate had posts with speed nuts. This looks like a good opportunity for the 3D printer folks to make a custom part….

    Lift options and recommendations for a 1980 Jimmy

    I looked at all those options before purchasing a 4” lift for my ‘78. I went with the complete off the shelf BDS kit from ORD. Springs, shackles, shocks, brake lines etc….they offer it any way you need. The multi leaf springs are much more expensive, I couldn’t justify the expense for my project.

    Wanting an Upgrade

    My ‘78 Scottsdale had no headliner, but does have the Cargo light option. I had to replace the light as it was damaged, installing the wiring between the switch and light can be difficult to deal with, the cab is doubled walled there. LMC offers a one piece headliner that doesn’t require all...

    I just got a Dashes Direct unit from Jeggs, it was reduced.

    This one needs to go, asking for opinions. Offering it up here first.

    If you weren’t so far away I’d give it a serious look at that price…

    Rear axle seal questions.

    I would really like a turbo 400 in my truck

    Middle one, bottom row. The new ones sold by Jeggs & Summit are for drag racing and have no provision for turning the Governor.

    I would really like a turbo 400 in my truck

    I just changed the 203 to a 208 behind my TH400. A 6-7” tail shaft is needed, I could only find a good used one from Novak.

    Slow Climb To The Top

    TH400 kick down solenoid has a single wire connection on the drivers side of the unit. I believe the wire is routed along with the starter wires. The adjustable switch is located above the throttle pedal.

    PVC and PEX for Compressed Air

    I finally got time to look at the info on the larger header pipes in the ceiling. I got our local rep in for quote. It’s a product called AirNet, comes in 20’ lengths. It’s basically a “Push Fit” for commercial applications...

    Pure SEX!

    The Corvette museum in Bowling Green, KY is a cool attraction, the wife and I’ve been to, we did the factory tour also. They raffle cars each month to fund it all. https://raffle.corvettemuseum.org/

    Rear body mounts for a 74 k20

    First thing is loosen all four mounts, breaker bar or impact, either will work. Try not to twist any of the bolts off. Jack up one corner at a time…it’s tough but can be done.

    Pure SEX!

    I had a ‘72 as a much younger man, I loved it and still do love that generation. A neighbor up the street has a red 69 sitting in the garage, it was her husbands. I’ve told her several times I’d be interested if she sold it. The later generations are incredible, my buddy has a ‘15 it’s stupid...

    I’m not sure of the maker.. I’m overwhelmed by the projects that I’m doing and haven’t had a chance to look into it.

    PVC and PEX for Compressed Air

    The newest building at the mfg company I do maintenance work for has the AI-PEX all through it for pneumatic supply. It’s 1” blue, and has all brass fittings. I’d never seen anything like it. It’s impressive stuff and the installation is top notch and I’m sure it was expensive. I’m trying to...

    Where's the weld(s)?

    I just completed a bed rebuild. Mine had two small welds on each post at the bed floor, and seam sealer. I put it back the same way.

    Tires for Stock Rims '79 K20

    Yes, this question has been asked before in similar fashion. I didn’t even consider using the factory 16” wheels my ‘78 came with for anything other than shop rollers. New 17” steel wheels for me, not outrageous on the price, and many more tire options.

    Help me solve a cooling issue. Pic's inside.

    In circle track cars we didn’t use a thermostat. We would use a piece of sheet metal cut round like the Tstat, with a dime size hole in it…
