    Save The Junk?

    I’ve used interior paint on panels before and have had good luck, BUT that’s on hard plastics. The elbow rest has started to chip paint away... I probably should have sanded it better to be honest. This is what has started happening to mine.

    Save The Junk?

    I took the same avenue. I have $40 in my interior so far. My interior started as this catastrophe... So my dash is different from yours in the fact that mine has NO FOAM... someone peeled it off and it only has like a fiber glass mat with purple fabric over it . On yours, you may see the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I like that, where did you get that from?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thanks, I do too! Meshes well with the green. Was really easy with heat and an exacto knife. My carpet is TRASH, but I will be doing that after the cab corner repairs... I don’t want to burn new carpet when welding in cab corners. A person would probably pull the carpet anyways, it’s also an...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well thanks! The interior was green and purple... I spent about $40 and restored the interior to the best of my ability on a budget. Some paint/fiberglass on the door panels, some wood vinyl wrap, some stretchy Suede material from Walmart and some patience on the dash bezel with black and silver...

    Thanks for the heads up. She runs like a champ now, but definitely putting a fuel filter in mine. I appreciate it!

    Need help with Carburetor

    It’s really funny you said that, because I got about 4 turns out on each side... I just thought it was a lot. I appreciate your advice, that aligns with what I found too.

    Need help with Carburetor

    A little update. I’m not sure what the flip happened, but it’s apparent that this thing wasn’t as dialed in as I thought? I am not an expert, but I thought I had it pretty good. I decided to re-tune the idle/air mixture screws. I had them 2 1/8 turns out each and rolled with that previously. I...

    Need help with Carburetor

    I plugged it back in... good to know. Still have an issue with the choke engaging. Just drove it and put it in park and it was idling at 1,400 rpm. I had to slap the choke off (it was unplugged at the time) I have since plugged it back in and zip tied the choke linkage tabs down because I have...

    What centercaps do you have?

    I kinda like that too! I am ditching the trim rings too I think. I found a set of the mentioned wheels, but they are 15x6’s and I don’t think I will be able to run even 31x10.5’s on them... might just stick to the current rims.

    Thinks shes gunna blow!

    I would check a couple things. My truck has TWO knock sources. First being the power steering pump. I heard this knock and immediately shut it off and started yanking on the pulleys. Took all of about 2 minutes to find that my power steering pulley has TONS of slop. I actually just ordered a new...

    Need help with Carburetor

    Another thing to add, as I figure it’s possibly related.... yesterday it was having choke issues. The choke stuck even after a long drive idling at about 1,800 rpm, then it idled WAY DOWN and became really rich when I was trying to free up the choke linkage. Here’s a video of how it was running...

    I see, I may tear into it today. Would this be something that is more pronounced as the truck warms up? I notice that first few accelerations from a stop; while cold, are just fine.

    Need help with Carburetor

    Hey all, I had this thing tuned in pretty fine, ran fantastic, but yesterday and today it stumbles off the line and doesn’t seem like it’s getting the appropriate amount of fuel. It’s rocking a Quadrajet that I’m pretty sure is original. It has tarnish all over it, I’m sure ALL the gaskets are...

    Heavier Duty Coils on 2wd. Any issues?

    She definitely sits like a 3/4 ton, I love it. I wouldn’t be opposed to a smidge more lift, but I’m a happy camper all around.

    Heavier Duty Coils on 2wd. Any issues?

    I did go ahead and try the Airlift in mine and didn’t notice a major difference, but I think that’s because the new springs are NEW and I don’t have a big block compressing the springs. I did gain ‘some’ height with the Airlift1000 kit inside of the brand new coil springs 1/2” or so. The fender...

    Heavier Duty Coils on 2wd. Any issues?

    Moog 6454, this is where I got mine. https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/mog-6454 they have settled a little as expected. I gained about 1.25”. Then again, I think I had solid springs in mine, others might have a variance on how good or bad their springs are. Part of me wonders what...

    What centercaps do you have?

    Good deal, I did read that the hubcaps are different diameter for 1/2 ton and 3/4ton. Thank you all so much, I’m glad I asked! I was puzzled in my searches. The guy said they are 5x5 GM wheels, so I may chat with him.

    What centercaps do you have?

    I just found a set on near me for $15 a wheel.... I think they are correct??? His actually match my spare 100%. Is my spare the one I need? It has the 4 nubs on the outside of the inner ring.

    What centercaps do you have?

    Something like this is kind of my goal, but these are different rally’s it looks like. I’d just like to know of any hubcaps that may resemble something like this that will fit my wheels. https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1972-CHEVROLET-C20-PICKUP-201956

    What centercaps do you have?

    Looking for a more dog dish style hubcap, but don’t know what will fit on this type of wheel. I am trying to go for the 3/4 ton look. I want to paint the wheels white or off-white, pull the trim rings and do some type of large dog dish center cap. I will also be doing tires too, just wanted...
