    1964 Chevy ll ls1/t56 swap

    I forgot that they did bead roll the sheet metal so pretty similar to the fab quest.

    1964 Chevy ll ls1/t56 swap

    My 63 SS is mini tubbed to fit a 355. The shop just used a strip of metal. Nothing fancy and looks good. Was going to use the DSE tubs but I think they only fit 275 iirc. Best Nova resource is stevesnovasite.com

    Twitchy steering with a big travel trailer (rear sway bar help?)

    I'm staying out of the steering, tire, twitch discussion as I don't believe a sway bar would address the issue at all. But I have added rear sway bars on a few trucks and definitely helped in wind especially when equipped with camper shells. Our HHR SS was horrible in the wind; added a small...

    Spray booth??

    I plan to buy one, possibly from Vevor. I plan to build a temporary PVC frame when it's inflated just in case power goes out as I've heard a few horror stories about them collapsing on fresh paint.

    rivettes

    I bought some on eBay a few years back. I think they were around $10-15 each and fit/ matched perfect to originals. No filing needed.

    Bucket buddy seats

    Does he have an actual storefront or works out of his house? Tempe is about 40 minutes from me but I go that way occasionally. I don't mind stopping by and seeing the work/ shop in person if not in a rush

    Az Square

    Good to hear. Just in case you haven't heard, Dinos Git Down is at the stadium every November with usually a few thousand trucks in attendance. Couple other places near you to check out if you didn't know, apologies if you already do... The Chrome Guy, who stocks a lot of parts for 66-72, and...

    Az Square

    Where are you in AZ? If you are interested, I may have an extra front bumper and brackets you can have. It's got a slight twist but its much better than what you have now.

    Summit Brand Headers???

    I have Summit Headers on the C10. I found the flanges to be nice and thick and the fit was perfect. The tubes appear to be high quality and the coating was very good. The truck is a new build so I can't tell you long they will last as I haven't run them yet. On a fresh motor, they installed in...

    Wood Bed Conversion

    What you are looking at doing is a serious amount of fabrication. None of my measurements would be the same since mine is a factory wood floor and uses different front and rear panel and has the flanges. Also different cross rails/ supports If I were to convert a steel floor to wood, I think...

    Wood Bed Conversion

    What dimensions are you looking for? I guess my real question is how are you trying to adapt the wood floor? There is going to be a lot of fabrication involved unless there is a kit that I don't know about. I know you referenced MarK but if you could provide a link. With wood being thicker than...

    How much are these parts worth?

    I'd still list it as opposed to scrapping it right away. Just know it has very little value unless someone needs it right then and there.

    How much are these parts worth?

    I agree with Grit. I listed the stock C10 suspension with brakes for $50 for 2 weeks, $25 for 2 weeks, free for a month and never got a hit. Went to scrap. Did the same thing a few months ago for our S10 build and again it went for scrap. I listed on both CL and offer up and offer up you can see...

    Mar-K Truck Toolbox for Stepside

    I have one like this for my C30 but it is big enough to climb inside and takes a lot of space. I'd like to mount a smaller version that is on risers so I can slide a sheet of wood under but yet still sit below rails

    Mar-K Truck Toolbox for Stepside

    I just want to haul a few tools and misc items while I'm traveling/ car shows. I've considered the Mar-K one for my C10 fleetside and also just using an old metal Coleman cooler and painting it to match the truck and mounting it for storage. I've come across a few old coolers but they all have...

    E-brake options after BIG lift?

    I installed a 14BFF in my Jimmy(K5) along with disc brakes. I mounted my calipers upside down with the left on the right, right on left. This allowed the cables to go over the axle and not snag and additional few inches of slack. To bleed, I'd unbolt and turn the bleeder up and put a small...

    Steering column Pivot pin

    The other thing I am thinking is if you might end up needing a new column regardless, you could also jb weld it in. I just don't want you to jeopardize yours or anyone's safety if anything were to fail.

    Steering column Pivot pin

    Typically on a lathe, however I worked at a shop when I was a kid that had a rollers that went between a vise for threaded inserts and a special set-up for pistons. I would bring the pin to a gunsmith and see if they can do it. You might try putting the pin between 2 files on a vise. All you...

    Steering column Pivot pin

    Does it go in too easily? If the hole is too loose you can knurl the pin.
