    Frame fix for hitch?

    I was asking as I think I have a piece of frame left from when I shortened my son's truck I could have donated to the cause. These work great for patching. Take a unibit and drill out the hole and weld in place the plug.

    New Electrical System

    Start by checking and cleaning every ground front to back and top to bottom. Its free and easy and resolves many issues. If you decide to rewire.. An original harness can be cost prohibitive as you have to purchase several different component harnesses. Both Painless and American Autowire both...

    Frame fix for hitch?

    Check CL for totaled trucks being parted out and buy pieces of the frame. This to me looks like a minor repair unless I am missing something? Where are you located? I see ads on CL regularly and tons of people have shortened their frames from long bed to shortbed so should be easy to find.

    What Are They??

    Just an FYI...if you are going the custom route, you can either weld nuts inside or install the bolts before the wood and then you won't see them. I did that as well as used the hidden fastener strips on my son's wood floor fleetside and it cleaned up the look.

    WTB 454 Rev. Rot. Fan for 454 Serpentine

    His prices are pretty good and he'll hold parts with a deposit. I know a lot of people that buy parts from him and he's always been straight forward. Although he can be a bit misleading on being ready to pick up. I bought a serpentine drive and he told me it was off and ready to grab. I got...

    Dash trim

    I powdercoated ours gray to match the interior. Cost was around $10 as I was coating a bunch of other pieces at the same time.

    Drag Link - Modern Build

    Looks cool and I'm all for improvement. but my only concern(s) is that it hasn't been tested to a failure point and the only testing it will see is on a road driven vehicle. I sincerely hope for you and others that try to emulate your progress that it works well and is strong. Other than that...

    WTB 454 Rev. Rot. Fan for 454 Serpentine

    The guy with the 454 hasn't returned my call. However, there is a complete 350 TBI motor with the serpentine drive for sale in Apache Junction on CL for $200. I've bought stuff from him before including a serpentine drive for my son's truck. He parts out a lot of squarebody trucks so he might...

    WTB 454 Rev. Rot. Fan for 454 Serpentine

    What part of country are you in? There was a guy in Phoenix parting out a '90 truck with a 454. I was going to call him about the core support this weekend and I'll ask the status of the brackets.

    WTB 454 Rev. Rot. Fan for 454 Serpentine

    I've never looked at the BBC conversion brackets before. Pretty cool. One thing I don't like on my '90 CC is that everything is serpentine but the AC which is V-belt. I have been passively searching for a set that was all serpentine so now I have another option.

    4mm vs 6mm back glass. What's best?

    I think I'm going to do the 6mm just because I can and it might be quieter.

    Removing overload.

    Yes, no, and possibly yes. But in reality, you'll have the same drop as every other flip done. Yes...you would in theory have less of a drop as the starting point has been reduced. The total amount of flip has been reduced over baseline but the final result will be the same. No...Since you are...

    4mm vs 6mm back glass. What's best?

    Mild RV 454 w/ headers. But adding a small centrifugal blower for towing when I build a 502.

    4mm vs 6mm back glass. What's best?

    ...but is there any advantage? I'm adding 50 pounds of insulation to the interior so I doubt an extra pound or two of glass would kill my mpg

    4mm vs 6mm back glass. What's best?

    73-76 back glass is 6mm and 77-91 is 4mm. Any benefit to using the 73-76 glass on my '90 CC. Quieter, stronger? Both are the same price and appear to use the same seal.
