    Custom grille

    Found a 6" dual row led light bar that was uploaded on GrabCAD... threw that in there just to help give you an idea of what it would look like. Not exactly the single row you're thinking of, but it helps. Obviously, the transparency of the mesh depends on what kind of mesh you intend to use as...

    Custom grille

    drew up a quick sketch of your idea based off my 74 grille dimensions (50" x 11"). 2" outer radius with 1" inner radius in the bottom corners. 1" x 1/8" angle iron 1-1/2" sq tube 1/16" expanded mesh 6" gap for light bars pushed in 6" from angle iron edge.

    Custom grille

    Sounds like a cool idea. Biggest thing seems to be determining how you're gonna mount it to the radiator support? Also, are you going for an inset grille like the 73-74 or the flat face similar to the rest of the grilles?

    broke my truck a little

    Just out of curiosity, wouldn't it have been cheaper to get a patch welded onto the headers??

    Window Tint

    I've been looking around to tint my truck, just haven't made up my mind yet. For a windshield, I'd want something super light. Really just to help block out UV's and keep cab temps down.

    Adding a headlight relay kit & Using H4 conversion housings is a great way to improve the headlights while keeping the cost relatively low.

    sticky gummy steering wheel.

    We swapped to GoJo from Fast Orange at work.... Definitely prefer Fast Orange. It doesn't turn to water the second it hits my hands. Works well enough though.

    Old truck...Nitrogen Strut hood props...

    Cool idea. What paint did you use on the angle iron? Got a nice texture to it.

    4x4 indicator light?

    I wonder if it would be possible to mod one into the cluster for a 203 case. Thinking it'd be a nice little addition if it lit up when the case was in Hi/Lo LOC.

    under bed supports and guards.

    On the rear of the wheel wells there is a panel that serves as a mud/rock guard.

    GM 14 bolt SF breather tube

    Check to see if it's got threads. If no threads, then pressed in. If there are threads, its more than likely an NPT threading. Probably 1/8" NPT or 1/4" NPT.

    86 k10 383 stroker

    Interesting to see that he's got a 10b front and a 10b rear. Probably just has a reasonable price range for it. May have also had it a little bit higher before too.

    Jack placement

    I've got a different bottle jack now, but it's mounted to the passenger wheel well in the stock location with the tire iron and jack crank bolted to the passenger inner fender.

    FORD RAKE ?

    Different lengths are more than likely for the different ride heights of the 1/2, 3/4, and 1ton trucks and lifted trucks too. Personally i'd stay away from the coilover type shocks since you'll be adding load onto the shock mounts. They're already only single shear on the top mount, so you'll...

    Turn signal flasher sound not working

    It's the flasher that makes the audible ticking. I replaced mine with a new one and it was barely audible. There's several different flashers, the fuse box changed over the years, so the main difference between the flashers is the pinout locations.

    Body Armor

    For really beatup rigs, some guys use 1/4"-3/8" wall rectangle tube to replace the rocker in its entirety. http://www.4x4-16.com/rock-sliders-for-a-74-k10-help_10259888.html You can do boatsides which is plating the rockers, but its angled in a lot more to have better clearances...

    Good headlights

    Found some shots of the projectors output. 3 shots are low beams, one is the high. If i remember correctly, that's virtually the output of one since the other is so far off to the side and they hadn't been adjusted for their spread and height yet. beam.

    Good headlights

    I used a pair of FXR 3.0 Projectors from The Retrofit Source. I went through a couple pairs of headlight housings since I cracked a couple of the glass lenses when baking them apart. It was from the sealant not being soft enough to separate the housing from the lens. I would also recommend using...

    Muffler placement

    But where do the Jeep Comanche's fall in that classification? It's a truck, but it's a jeep. So can I pull the fenders off my truck and it be a jeep?
