    Its a 14 bolt rear in case that helps.

    Driveshaft/Differential Play, How much is too much?

    Here is a video of the amount of "slop" at the rear differential of my Crew Cab C20. All U-joints and carrier bearing are brand new. Is this an acceptable amount of play or should I be concerned?

    That is the single most thorough column rebuild I have ever seen. Awesome!

    I really haven't had any trouble with the kick panel speakers. They are just a bit in the way, but after a while you get used to them. The sound out of them is great, as it sends the sound up to you instead of the seat. All in all I really like them.

    Big Block team AASSSEEEMMMBBLLLEEE! (have a 454 performance question)

    Currently mine is just a 454 bored .030 over. Cam is 212/218 duration at .050, peanut port heads, CR around 8.5 to 1. This was done by the previous owner, but he gave me the receipts to back it up. I have since put on a performer intake, msd ignition, msd dizzy, eddy carb, and it runs great...

    Big Block team AASSSEEEMMMBBLLLEEE! (have a 454 performance question)

    That's awesome news on the heads!! I'd go with something in the 225-235 @.050 duration range. These engines need some cam to wake them up, especially if you stroke it. If my big block ever gets replaced, it will be a 489 with around 225 @ .050 duration and I use it to tow a 10,000 lb fifth...

    Big Block team AASSSEEEMMMBBLLLEEE! (have a 454 performance question)

    As for the heads, no way would I spend $1500 for Eddy heads when I could spend $2200 and have AFR heads. The AFR 265 heads are badass on 454 or a street 489/496. As to the stroking it, do it. No replacement for displacement. If you have to grind the crank you can kick in $300 and gain 30...

    Sub

    I have one of these Alpine subs behind the seat in my '89 Dodge D100 Reg Cab, and it has about the same space behind the seat as a square. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500SBTS10V/Alpine-SBT-S10V.html This amp powering it: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_500MRVM500/Alpine-MRV-M500.html And yes...

    Ball Joints/Tie Rod Ends What Brand????

    I've come back to that a lot. If it were just me it'd be simple. Kids and wife, not as simple.......

    Ball Joints/Tie Rod Ends What Brand????

    Some of the logistics are taken care of. My vehicle that was totaled has been paid for. As to the injuries and all that, its not settled until I am healed. As to the illegal, I've heard immigration won't make a run up to my part of the state unless there are several of them to pick up at...

    Ball Joints/Tie Rod Ends What Brand????

    Yeah, I've been thinking about that. Bad thing is my interior is completely 100 redone as of this past summer/fall. This wreck had really made me think of all my options. Do I 1) drive it as is and realize life isn't lived in a bubble, knowing that I'll be hauling my wife and 3yo and 5yo kids...

    Ball Joints/Tie Rod Ends What Brand????

    I was knocked so stupid at the scene that I didn't really know much of what was going on, I was just in pain. Now that I can move all I need is 15 seconds alone with the sorry bastard and the world will have one less problem in it. Clean up would take longer than 15 seconds though.......

    Ball Joints/Tie Rod Ends What Brand????

    I'm working on it! lol That wreck has me really thinking about the safety of my old square, and the lack of head rests. I woulda been phucked if I'd been driving it when I got hit....

    Ball Joints/Tie Rod Ends What Brand????

    I actually haven't got anything done. I had gallbladder surgury the beginning of November and was good to go through the holidays, then the end of the first week of January I was rear ended by an illegal immigrant going 50mph. I was sitting at a stoplight. Needless to say, it slowed me down...

    Drive shaft problems

    I know the 2wd SM465 is 35 spline, but are you needing the yoke that is on the driveshaft?

    84 3+3 454 sm465 - No power, fusible link?

    I tell you a story I had with mine, a damn weird one at that. I once went out to start the square. Opened the door and the dome light came on, turned the key the seat belt light lit, went to fire it off and it just barely barked the starter, and everything went dark. No more dome light, not a...

    86 GMC k1500 w/350 crate swap, horrible rev response and no power in gear.

    I always total time my engines. When I installed my new intake, carb, and ignition system on my big block, I just total timed it to 34 degrees at 3000 rpm. You need a timing light that is made for doing that though.

    Sand blast cabinet

    Yeah, I bought my aluminum oxide at Tractor Supply. It is a courser grain and works really well to remove rust and paint. It kinda etches the metal and leaves a surface that all you have to do is wipe with alcohol or paint thinner and then it takes paint great.

    Sand blast cabinet

    I have aluminum oxide in mine and it seems to work great. Anybody else use aluminum oxide?

    Replacement seat upholstery

    I ordered some carpet samples from them and it was nice stuff. I ended up using vinyl flooring on my rig, which they don't handle, so I ordered from somewhere else. I would buy from them though. I've seen the outfit used for interior goods on tv shows.
