    Most Hated- That's the rumor.

    I figured this fits in the "Audio" section, lol. As the subject implies, rumor is I am the most hated guy in my neighborhood currently. Awhile back I posted about having acquired some train horns from my brother. They are still waiting for their turn to be part of a project and get added to my...

    Any black two tone trucks out there?

    My truck is all white. I hate all white. Working for the government for 25 years has made me really hate the color white. Looking at getting it painted soon and I don't want a complete color change because I don't want to disassemble everything to do it right. I'm ok with the interior as most of...

    Woke up with a new feature on the app

    Well I'll be. Apparently Edelbrock pushed an update to the EFI app overnight. This morning, I noticed the screens looked a bit different and there's a new button for data logging. Well hot damn. That's a great feature if you are troubleshooting or looking for trends. There's six channels of data...

    Clamp on roof rack? I'm feeling rather horny.

    Anyone seen or know of a luggage rack thingamajig that would attach to the roof for a square? Maybe something lightweight that clamps on to the drip rail? I'm asking cause my brother is a mechanic for the railroad and I'm buying a compressor for an ARB. You can probably guess what I'm thinking...

    Any AC gurus?

    If one pieced together an AC system how would they determine how much refrigerant to use for maximum cooling efficiency? I assume the pressures on the high side versus low side play into the equation but how do you know when enough is enough? Asking for a friend..;)

    My parts truck has auto hubs on the Dana 60!

    Is this unusual to have auto hubs on a 84 K30? Never seen them on a Dana 60 before. Not the best pic but it's 150 degrees out and this will have to do.

    Acquired an 84 K30 parts truck

    My buddy bought this for the axles for $1500. In exchange for setting up the axles for his K5, I'm taking the bed. It's perfectly straight and rust free (S. Cali). The bed is going on my 86 K20. My truck was t-boned long before I bought it. I have checked the frame every way possible and there...

    That's a new one!

    Driving around yesterday and the stereo muted and I got this message on my efi screen. Of course, in a moving truck I didn't feel a thing. This must be something new?

    Mudflap mounting headscratcher ;(

    How are you guys with aftermarket mudflaps attaching them? I'm looking at some 12" x 18" universal ones that are basically flat. But..looking at the truck I can't just bolt them to the fender/wheelwell. Different issue from the front to rear. Are custom homemade brackets the answer?

    Pothole knocked my mirror out !

    A few days ago after a major rainstorm I hit an invisible pothole covered with water. It was a pretty jarring whack. My wife noticed the glass in the passenger side mirror was dangling by a thread. She rolled the window down and snatched it before gravity got it. Looking at it, it looks like...

    Mudflaps-not the woman type.

    Unlike my ex, I am desiring mud flaps for my truck. Does anybody have or know of some manly mud flaps that aren't too "bud light" looking? I don't recall what period correct flaps would look like for the squares but I don't want anything goofy looking. I'm not 100 years old pulling a 5th wheel...

    Almost met Jesus this AM due to a faulty thermostat!

    That's my theory anyway. Maybe someone can give me a sanity check. So on the way to work this morning I am going around a bend in the road at about 45 mph when all of a sudden I had no brakes or steering. Thank the good Lord there was no oncoming traffic in the opposite lane cause I shot into it...

    @Aurora Girl Rusty rants

    Why does this remind me of all her previous posts where she included pics of her truck?

    What ya'll think of these new wheels/tires? I dig em. Any shock suggestions?

    So I got the new Vision wheels and BFG tires on last night. For reference, I have a 2" Rancho lift, the factory tires were 265/65/16 on 16 x 7 wheels. The OD diameter measured 31 inches. The new BFG's are 285/70/17 and measure exactly 33 inches OD. The wheels are Vision Ojos in 17 x 9 with 4.5...

    What y'all think, patch it and run it?

    Sumbitch blew out sitting still in the driveway. The day before I drove it home from work at 70 mph. Dry rot is a hidden killer.

    Lokar strikes again! Be..ute..i..ful cranks.

    Since resto-modding my interior, I'm down to the little things. One of those little things is the OEM window cranks. I hate em! For the haters, I'll just say it up front that yes, I have manual windows and yes that's by choice. With that said, I hate the stupid C clips that are a PITAS to remove...

    New wheels, I did it.

    I'm needing some new hoops. Planning on something in the 33 inch range. Continuing with my restomod theme, I wanted something more "modern." Settled on the Vision Ojos 17 inch. $850 out the door didn't hurt too bad. Discount tire. Haven't decided on the tires yet but the wheels will be here...

    Now what? Build it or store it?

    Now that I have a newly built 4500 and 205, I got the "other" setup staring at me. Knowing it's not going anywhere but storage, should I rebuild them and store them or store them and rebuild later? Maybe buy the kit now and buy new seals when I actually rebuild them?

    $40 well spent on OEM buzzer

    A guy on another forum said he pulled several buzzer modules from the junkyard and was selling them for $40. These are the OEM buzzers for our trucks if optioned with them. My Custom Deluxe has no buzzer. However, I'm told all trucks have the receptacle. There should be 7 pins. Depending which...

    Forever Sharp steering wheel installed. Beautiful

    Finally got fed up with the sticky OEM wheel. After much research I found what I was looking for. A half wrap from Forever Sharp. I love it. Thanks to @Old77 for turning me on to this company! As for the details, it's 14 inch versus the 16 inch OEM. I like it better and gains an inch of lap...
