I wish I could find a deal on a snow plow or free. I see junk for sale round here local "Gomer gold digger" wants more $$$ than a new plow would cost :insane: :happy175:


I have some junk I bought 10ish years ago. I cranked the welder up and twisted some wires together..

Finally got around to installing the exhaust on the K10, consisting of Flowtech headers and a Thrush dual exhaust kit that I bought a couple years ago and had in storage till now. The headers fit great, the exhaust not so much, but after some cutting/welding/bending, it's on. I can't comment on the sound just yet but I am sure it is an improvement over the leaky straight pipe. It's 20 below outside right now, gonna wait for some better weather to go for a drive. Next, is to fix the fuel sender wiring, speedometer cable, and make sure the choke is working properly (recently converted from divorced to electric).

In the past, I've run drums like that with new shoes and everything was fine. Other than having to back off the adjuster if I ever needed to remove the drum again.

*This was on my daily beaters, not customer vehicles, lol*
Sometimes we have to do repairs to get by. my truck doesn’t earn me money and it’s the 3rd vehicle so I can take my time and actually enjoy wrenching.

Iv fixed a lot of things in the cold and rain, I’m glad I seldom have to do that anymore
I remember when I was in my teens I broke off about every bolt I ever touched.. no heat, no penetration oil, no patients

Tonight, I set out all the various pieces of the non a/c conversion that were given to me. Just about all of the metal is shot or rusted heavily.

I’m not so sure these things given to me are going to be super helpful. The non a/c controls look like they have a different plug, and the light bulb configuration is different. One has decent door flaps, but all of the foam gaskets (I’m assuming they had some at one point) are gone. Tons of surface rust. Of the two boxes, only one of the four brackets that hold the heater core is not rotten.

I’ll need all new cables, apparently. This is quickly becoming a project to be shelved and to collect parts along the way. LMC does have some of the parts if I want to pay with my left kidney. Hmm.

Not complaining- very thankful honestly- just farther away than I thought I was.

Does anyone know if I’ll be able to harness any parts from the A/C box to repurpose? Or are they all completely different?

I’ll look up some threads.
