    Busted Alternator Bolt

    Hi all. Sorry about the length of the post but I didn't take any time to take photos while this was happening. I have a 1981 C10 with what i think is a Goodwrench crate 350 motor of unknown age and origin. I'm not an experienced or knowledgeable mechanic. I bought the truck in December. I...

    Chevy C10 "Build"

    Yeah, I think the problem is that I may be turning into my dad. Lately I just can't seem to bring myself to replace anything unless it is irredeemably broken or actually on fire.

    Chevy C10 "Build"

    So what's my point? What I was thinking is that I'd like to someday get my truck looking like that truck looked like when he first pulled it in to the garage. And remember, I had the volume off so I didn't know what he was saying as he went along. So then he starts swapping out the suspension...

    Chevy C10 "Build"

    I realize that this forum is for other vehicles but what I came across doesn't seem to fit elsewhere... So I'm new to Square Body trucks and just bought an '81 C10 a few weeks ago. It has a lot of common issues and I've had a lot of luck going out on YouTube and watching people's videos on how...

    2003 Acura MDX

    I had a grey 2001 MDX with the tech package until 2020. There was actually nothing wrong with the car when I decided to replace it, but it seemed like a good time to buy (like a month before prices turned out to skyrocket) and I wanted to take advantage of modern safety features. What did I get...

    Triple X Rootbeer Chevy Truck Show Photos

    Good question. I requested to join two weeks ago and never got a response. Their website looks a bit out of date as well.

    Will certainly do. I notice you said you were a Michigan transplant in another thread - me too: migrated out here in 1995, originally from the Birmingham area.

    Yeah, I was the first responder and luckily the seller was really good about giving me first crack at it or it would have devolved into a bidding war. There was (and I think still is) a really nice 1979 C30 for sale on San Juan Island. The seller is a super guy. He met me in Anacortes and I...

    Thanks for the info. Never occurred to me to ask about shops and I’ve already gotten one or two leads to follow up on.

    Hi - I'm new to the forum and live nearby. Sorry to hear about the Triple X closing. So can anybody tell me what group hosts local events like this? Thanks, Rob

    Note to admins: took me a few tries to register. The advertising banner at the bottom blocks the register button using computers or phone and trying several different browsers. I got around it by installing an ad blocker, but that's counterproductive to your revenue stream.

    Greetings from Seattle

    Hi All. I've restored several air-cooled Volkswagens and have owned a couple of 1975 Kawasaki H1-F Triples over the years but have been out of it all for well over a decade. I started to look for a GM square body truck a couple of months ago as I thought having a long bed would be useful as I...
