    Disc brake conversion help.

    bending lines is teadious and a headache but in the end is pretty easy. the thought of 4 fronts seems unbalanced and overbuilt in my brain. i swapped the rears on my 70 camaro and the size difference was impressive but they were balanced. im guessing the large size locks up the back pretty easy?

    Need some advice for wet sanding, buffing and polishing new paint job

    Well this looks familiar! First off, it doesn't mention if it is being sprayed or rolled. Regardless of application, sprayed or rolled, it is up to you to do the prep and cut an buff. Both are tedious and where the $$$$$ is! pep is everything especially with black! With that said, as far...

    Fuel tank selector manual switch?

    This week I bypassed the fuel tank switch and the selector unit and noticed what seemed to be a manual switch on the unit. Does this thing actually switch the fuel line? It moves from left to right when I manipulate it manually. You can see it in both orientations in the pictures.

    FUEL TANK SWITCH ORIENTATION

    1976 CK20 Has dual tanks. passenger tank is rotted. I am unfamiliar with how the fuel switch works. when it is down, like turning a light switch off, is this selecting the left/drivers tank. up selecting the passenger/right tank?

    CAMPER SPECIAL WITH CABOVER/ HAULING CAPACITY?

    Good morning. I have a 76 C-K20 camper special that I am thinking of adding a full cabover to. It currently has a custom built cabover that is bare bones. Thinking of adding a fully loaded slide in from Six-pac or similar vendor. I cannot for the life of me figure out what the bed weight...

    Educate me on sanders

    DanMcG, I’ll have to ask dad. It was a single stage ppg or DuPont. That does sound familiar. Thank you. I still have wet sanding nightmares!

    Educate me on sanders

    Aaron, from one woodworker to another, it all in the preparation! You already know this. There is a chemical bond and a mechanical bond. Prep per manufacture directions, DO NOT DEVIATE! Honestly, sand by hand. With your woodwork experience you will be able to feel the difference in what needs...

    What the choke?

    Alrighty, I grew up wrenching on my dads 1979 el Camino, which became mine for a time. Lots of hrs invested and lessons learned. However, this qjet has me baffled. I get that heat from the manifold will transfer to the choke but how the hell do I adjust it? Haven’t seen it before! 1976 k10...

    Seized Brake Drum '78 C30 - HELP!

    Any update? I too didn’t understand how to remove the brake drum. Silly question that I haven’t seen asked. Is the emergency brake engaged? My truck hadn’t moved in 10 years. My right rear was locked up. Even with my axel out I had to beat and pry the f’er off from the back. You got this!

    Console around 4wd shifter

    Definitely interested in seeing where this goes. There has to be a way to knock one out, still allowing for the shifter. Either I have somewhere to put my coffee or passengers will not have a good ride!

    exhaust exit

    Here is where I taught myself to weld when I did my 70 camaro. Unless someone is laying on their back hey will never know that it is your weld or a grease monkeys weld. Prebent pieces are cheap. Give it a shot!

    79 k10 Newbie issues. Stressed out Mom, please help!

    E brake on? If it is not moving, the drive shafts won’t spin. Pull the front and rear at the same time. Knowing the truck won’t move with no drive shafts, toss it in gear and see if the output shafts spin. This will isolate trans/transfer case issues or differential/axel/brake etc. One step at...

    Hey new friends, the new rig

    Top to bottom, front to back, inside and out! I already swapped for $100 Silverado wheels and tires as these 16.5s were dry rotted. Listed these for 75 and someone offered $100 to have them delivered in a reasonable distance. Doing okay so far! There is a bumper guard and an aluminum intake in...

    Hey new friends, the new rig

    Picked up this beast for $300. Hasn’t been on the road, other than this pic, for 10 years! Salvaged with the damage seen but otherwise functional.
