    Parts for Sale....

    OEM is always better but hard to find good fixable candidates. I've been on the search for some good 73-80 gm fenders that are some sort of two tone for a hot minute with no luck.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Put the new mirrors and taillight lenses on ole camel cash.... I've owned them for over 3 years and stared at them daily. Next new bumper is going on.

    Sm465 to 4l60E swap

    Ok, thank you all for the helpful advice. At this point I'm going to stick with my 4l60E I already own..... I know its not ideal and a 4l80E would be better but I've got this one just here. Going to get a NP241 from a k5/burb that came behind a 700r4 and roll with it. I don't do anything...

    Sm465 to 4l60E swap

    how difficult is it to swap to the later column? I have one from a 88 K5 that is loose, but I can tighten the tilt back up.

    Sm465 to 4l60E swap

    My radiator has a cooler made into it, but I also have a little 13row wide oil/trans cooler sitting here I had planned on using for a LS swap Camaro I had. Car is gone but a lot was left over from that. Can I adapt a tilt column I have out of a 80 model truck to work with a 4spd auto? if I can...

    Sm465 to 4l60E swap

    The NV4500 is a 5psd that came in the GMT400 trucks and dodge full size trucks, great transmission but pricey around here. It was my original plan to swap In a NV4500 but I just want to get away from a manual entirely the more I think about it. I have considered a 4L80, but changed my mind...

    Sm465 to 4l60E swap

    I have a 4l60E out of a z71 I used to own and 4.56s and a sm465 are killing me in the drivability dept. Anyone else swapping one in? I have no doubts it can handle it, just seeing what other people encountered when doing the swap. It's no trouble controlling it. I have Holley efi and a dominator...

    Replacement steering wheel

    This is a grant, can't tell you the name of it I have forgot. I like the wood grip and the old school look though.

    Electrical woes....

    FOUND THE HEADLIGHT ISSUE! 12v for headlight had pulled out of the bulkhead. Now on to wipers.

    Electrical woes....

    I think I see what I've done wrong, I don't believe I have the 2nd 12v hot wire running to the bus on the firewall, I believe I unhooked it when I was searching for my original issue. I have that exact wiring diagram printed off on 11x17s in the truck. It was a life saver, only thing are some...

    Electrical woes....

    The yellow zip ties were because I ran out of black...... so it was yellow or purple, I went with yellow, I felt it was the better choice. Behind all of that loom are magnets that have a place for zipties, they are amazing! Mr Gasket part number 3741G, I have those dudes everywhere.

    Electrical woes....

    I have had the wires off the bus on the firewall a thousand times, how many 12v are supposed to be running to bulkhead from the bus? The fuseable link you were talking about, are you referring to the one going to the starter or is there another I'm not aware of? inside cab or under hood? Ive...

    Electrical woes....

    I downloaded some pretty nice layouts for the fuse panel last night, plan on scowering over that thing this afternoon. The wiring to starter is good, I had already checked that, I have everything key on hot now.... Its the exact opposite of what I started this post with. I think I shorted...

    Old school roll/light bar

    That thing is a beast! But dang...... $1100 is steep. I can get single bars new around $400-$500, its the bumpers you cant find any more. Thanks for the link, I'm going to keep my search going, I'm willing to drive a few hours to get one. Out west it seems they are everywhere.

    Old school roll/light bar

    Hadnt done a lot of thinking for step bars, but they would be handy to have. Does anyone make the tube bumpers anymore?
