    Bulkhead Connectors

    I have rewired some trucks and cars and will always buy a quality harness. It saves a lot of time having the harness 90% done. There are many manufacturers and you can get the right harness for your needs. Quality automotive wire is not cheap, same with connectors and relays if you can even get...

    Good rear gears

Rotate the tire 1 time and count the turns the driveshafts makes. E.g. 1 turn on the tire nearly 4 turns on...

    Can this be removed?

    Welcome from Austria. You can remove it if you don't like it sitting there and live in a warm area. I would put it on a shelf, many of these parts are no longer produced or sold anywhere.

    Vent Window rubber replacement or replace?

    Rebuild them. It is a lot of work but worth it. Buy Precision rubber parts, all other parts like rivets etc, are available from various companies. https://www.lmctruck.com/door-components/vent-window/csb-1973-91-vent-window-components https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md1ty9I8wsg

    Going from roll pan to bumper

    Welcome from Austria. The roll pans I've seen did not require the frame to be modified. The bumpers (normal and step) are mounted with brackets and not directly attached to the frame. The bumpers use specific brackets. Bumper brackets. These are the brackets of 74 C20 with the original...

    Bed Mounting and installation

    Welcome from Austria. There you go. My 74C20 had only one long bolt at this location on the driver side. The frame is supported with a thick walled tube to avoid deforming it when tightening the bolt. On the passenger side a short bolt is used because the long one would interfere with the brake...
