New kid on the (small) block.

Craziest antitheft idea yet.
We have a blue t connection to our phones so if the thing starts it pops up on the phone. Takes a photo of the thief and puts the car into "safe mode (It will only go about 15 mph.) Wife and I both "carry" so if we are close enough problem solved.- Long Rider

Chevy C10 "Build"
I am about 8 months into my second square body build. The last one took me about 3 1/2 years and cost $26K. The red 73 on my profile. As for his choice as to what his truck looked like when he was done, that is always up to the owner. The thing that kind of bugged me was his reference to how if...- Long Rider

Thermostat 195?
I had my truck overheat on a short road trip so I stopped and ran into a small town parts store and bought a new one. I bought the cheapest one they had, I know brain dead right?

Ran yesterday but not today… just bought it yesterday!
If it's a 1406 I think your vac advance hose is hooked up to the wrong side. The side with the vac cap is the metered side and is where the vac advance hose should be connected. The side its connected to is just straight vac from the manifold. I would hook up the choke as it doesn't hurt...- Long Rider

The old 700R4 questions!
Well at least I gave you a chance to bellow at someone. I was a service manager at a Chevy dealership in a small farming community. I can only speak from my experience when the first 700R4 came out.

Take a look at this rust spot, please.
I would sand it then use something like POR 15 over the rust spots. It's easy to prep and paint over down the road and in my experience you can stop worrying about the rust.- Long Rider
