    What new tools have you got lately?

    Not really a tool, but I did finally get around to building me a new welding/fab table for the shop, 6’x12’x1 1/2”. It sure will be nice to have a flat spot to work on. (Try to ignore the F350 in the background).

    C10 1978 engine colour code

    It was GM blue when it was new, you can get it at any parts store. Duplicolor DE1608 is what I used when we built my sons elcomino.

    anyone have a pic of under hood jack tool storage?

    Not the best pic but you can see the jack handle and lug wrench are in the hold down behind the radiator overflow bottle and the other end goes under the battery box.

    Need creative spare tire relocation ideas / building an in bed mount for cheap

    I haven’t done a lot of dirt work with it, mainly firewood. It does great with the firewood. I have put about a 1 1/2 of gravel with no problem, just make sure your not on the side of a hill when you try to dump. That wouldn’t work out to well. I do have a plastic bed liner in it to that helps...

    It’s that style but didn’t come off a Chevy, most Chevys have a cable. I don’t remember what I got it off of (I did this almost 20 years ago) but I liked the chain better. Yea I have no problem putting in the gas loaded either. Good luck

    It does hang down more than I would like it to, but I have gotten used to it. I will get more pics after I get home from work. I just don't have any good ones on my phone.

    I had the exact same problem that you do. I know this isn't the best pic. to show exactly what I did but I didn't drive this truck today. What I did was to do away the the factory hanger.

    New guy from GA, 85 GMC

    Welcome from Northwest GA. Nice truck, two-tone blue has always been one of my favorite color combos. It looks like they did a good job of cutting it down.

    Looking for the elusive disposable Th200 Non Lock-Up

    No it wasn't a 200-R4, It didn't have overdrive just a 3-speed and had Metric stamped in the bottom of the trans pan.

    Looking for the elusive disposable Th200 Non Lock-Up

    Well I doubt the guy would really want to drive to Georgia, but I have a working 200 Metric sitting on the shelf that I pulled out of my sons '85 El Camino that we did a V8 swap on last year, it was a 4.3 car with about 100k on it. We replaced it with a th350 that I had sitting around. Like...

    Paint engine compartment?

    Thanks, not sure why it uploaded the pics twice.

    Paint engine compartment?

    I’ve always preferred body color myself. All black on a black truck is great. In my opinion body color just looks a little more detailed, but each their own.

    Classic Industries, part no. DC1202. $7.99. The printing is not as bold and easy to read as the original sticker but still looks pretty good.
