    What’s IT Worth? (Post all “what’s it worth threads here)

    Not to burst any bubbles as the market is very fickle. Squarebody Sydicate had a white all original '74 with something like 1100 miles on it. It sold at auction 2-3 years ago and I think it sold in the very low teens at auction. People thought it would go for for 2-3x the price as the market...

    My wife is small and is pregnant

    You can also build a temp handle that hooks to the striker bolt/ pin on the door frame. You can buy them commercially for loop style latches but I think the ones I've seen for our strikers were all custom. They are sold at medical supply places.

    Ethanol varnish residue: Carb vs EFI

    Pure-gas.org to search ethanol free pumps. I started buying the ethanol free gas at wal-mart, Lowe's, HD, etc. It's expensive at $5 a quart but it cured all the problems in my small engines. Everything starts first pull and no run-on. The big box stores seem to change brands every few months...

    Biggest jobs you have completed in the shortest amount of time.

    When I was 16/17 drove up to a machine shop in the morning, pulled the heads(350SBC in a 70 C20) in the lot, walked into the shop and had them rebuilt, walked to lunch, parts store to get oil, gaskets, etc. Machine shop knocked them out in a few hours and I had them back on and drove out a few...

    LED Tail Light conversion… Carolina Truck Shop

    Wow, I hadn't heard any issues with them. I bought a couple sets as well as parklights when they were on sale or show specials but they are all sitting new in the boxes. C10 parts have quite a wide manufacturing base so I've never asked but Digitaled in Argentina might build them for you. I can...

    Strange dome light

    A cab I bought a few years ago had one of those. It was broken somehow and I didn't pay much attention to it before I tossed it. While I realized it was adjustable, I didn't even think of it as a being able to swivel all the way down to light the bed.

    Just want to make shure im reinstalling new control arms correctly.

    Order the correct studs from LMC or some other vendor. Cut and excessive lowering springs require lots of shims. Make sure the offset is correct on the control arm shafts

    Just want to make shure im reinstalling new control arms correctly.

    When you say bolt, are you using the correct stud, which I believe is serrated or are you using just a Grade 8 off the shelf? There are washer/ spacers that go on before you shim but I feel like they are about 1/4". Something is definitely wrong if you are having to put 1" of shims in. If the...

    LED Tail Light conversion… Carolina Truck Shop

    For the trucks, I've been buying United Pacific. For my other cars, I use digitaled in Argentina. They'll make them for any application relatively inexpensive and any color sequential, etc

    Front Crossmember Degreasing

    looks like you are doing a nice thorough job. That is a hard part to clean. If you are blasting the rest of the trucks, then yes I would blast that as well, if not a good cleaning is probably enough. You could always put in a trash can and let it soak for a few days. BTW, while I am sure it...

    New guy in Arizona!

    If you didn't know already...AZ is pretty much the mecca of squarebodies. Lots of them here, lots of shops, suppliers, etc. And of course the home of Dino's Git Down where you can see 5000 trucks in one place.

    My thoughts on spare alternators

    The new cars drive me nuts. Fobs, subscriptions, etc. My wife gets a new car every 2-3 years so we always have something under warranty. On her last car every time Apple updated IOS her stereo needed to be reprogrammed. Actually, had to be replaced one of the times. The stereo is like $2k as it...

    My thoughts on spare alternators

    Also, just a FYI...Used to be you could borrow a battery, start the car, remove the battery and drive without the battery. On a lot of newer cars, you can do some expensive electronics damage if you try that.

    what these studs for? A friend gave me this axel for my 73 K10 said it came out of a 73 blazer. Mine doesn't have these studs on it. I can't seem find

    Yes, correct. Those are Foley's, Axel Foley's.

    While I agree probably for extra shock...I do find it odd as being so medial, I would think it would be a rough ride and I would also think break off easily as its literally welded in a shear position.

    Roundeye 4x4 VAN for sale !

    Yeah, this is one id have to see in person if i was a buyer. Hard to believe it would have original paint on a van but its possible. Usually, these were stored outside and the paint looks a bit too good for that. Underhood and jambs should be just as nice and they arent. Hard to judge cars on...

    Nope, only halfway there. Still needs a transfer case, shafts, 4wd tailhousing etc.

    Roundeye 4x4 VAN for sale !

    Very cool and amazing condition for a '73! Not to be a downer but another $5-7k to make it 4wd and address the AC.

    Chevy 305 heads

    Are you talking the early 60's V6 305? I had one in a 62/63 I shortbed stepside I bought, it ran great but I think that engine weighed 2-3x a sbc.

    Chevy 305 heads

    If it really runs that good, I'd probably pull just the one head and have the bare mininum done. Probably spend a $100 at the shop plus some gaskets. Do the seals yourself on the other head on the truck for $20 in parts. You can save the money towards a 350 swap.

    Valve seals for camel hump heads?

    If you go the route of new heads...some vendors order the heads in various stages from the manufacturers and finish them off to the buyers needs so it may not cost anything extra to get the spring rate you need. While it's been a long time since I was in the industry, it was common for us to...

    Fat tire electric scooter

    I like them and would definitely be interested in purchasing but $3k for a product that may or may not have support in 2-3 years when I need a part is tough. If it was a major manufacturer like Segway, I'd be more inclined. Where all the hoverboards kids were riding 5 years ago?
