    What new tools have you got lately?

    Well I don't have 4 drill presses, but this Craftsman does have the optional King Seeley variable (infinite) speed control. This thing is so stout, I bought a small x,y vise to do a little milling work. Chuck in an end mill and go.

    Hello, my name is Derek, and I have Just joined this page, trying to find some good information on working on my new 1978 k30

    Yeah, I wish I had the dash mounted control that would be with it. I did see one at Carlisle Truck show, but the thing must have been made of gold. The seller was very proud of it.

    Best way to transport 19 55 gallon barrels?

    So the new Ford bumpers are 3 pieces of steel and 1 big piece of plastic. The trailer plug is in the center piece. This is what I have cut out now: Do you want to finish the cuts and bend the 90* on the long edge? I can finish it, but guessing on what you want. Can you, finish cutting and the...

    So you need a bracket for the plug too. Do you want it long (sideways) or tall, up and down?

    Brake lights feed up and back through the turn signal switch. Could be a bad contact in the switch or the connector. The turn/ hazards use a different feeds from the flashers

    Ignition control module dwell programming

    May not help, but I do know there were 2 different coils used in the HEI. The parts list would have a foot note asking what color the coil wires are. Common are the red and yellow. The other coil had the red or yellow replaced with a different color (orange?). Also the module should come with...

    Whip antenna for CB on a Suburban

    Some more useless CB info. "Back in the day" when more CBs became more in use, the FCC did require you to have a CB licence. You were also asked to state your call letters when you started transmitting, and sign off when you were done. Not many people did. Also 1/4 wave is 106.47". So the ball...

    Finally got a running 65 C10

    The RPM drops from 4000 or 4500 to about 3000 RPM. No, never a no-lift. I abused it enough as it was. "You gotta run what you brung"

    Finally got a running 65 C10

    Okay, for clarity lets call low gear first, then 2,3,4. Here is how: Start in first, mash the throttle, dump the clutch and the truck jumps. (scares anyone next to you!) Release the clutch, off throttle, straight pull to 2nd gear. Engine RPMs are just dropped enough it goes right in 2nd. Mash...

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    Firestone got a bad rap with their 721's because Ford marked the tire pressure lower to smooth the ride. Safety note most people don't know, you get a blowout at speed, you need to mash the throttle! The vehicle wants to turn to the flat tire side because of the extra drag. Overcome this with...

    If you don't want to drill holes in the fender, another choice is a bumper mount. This mounted near the end of the bumper will line up and use the side of the Suburban as a ground plain CLICK HERE Link fixed
