    Stuck with Solid blinkers once I added New led corner markers ?

    would not go in far enough to turn and lock on 2 400's and a Nova. And yes, I am aware of the pin height difference in 1157, been using 1157 and 1156 since the late 70's.

    Stuck with Solid blinkers once I added New led corner markers ?

    what are you guys using for LED's in the deep sockets of the front park lights? I bought from Superbriteled and they will not fit two of my trucks. Work fine in the tail lights but not front park lights. I called them and emailed them and they don't care. A regular bulb tapers at the bottom of...

    we took the cover off and watched the bimetal strip work in high school. My 70 Impala had it mounted to the metal dash brace and was very loud.

    How much paint?

    all paint compamnies offer Victory Red. Find a company that sells paint near you and talk to them and read the tech sheets. A good jobber will have a volume estimator in their computer for each product. The products, the gun, the gun setup and the painter will greatly vary the amount of each...

    Line X Paint

    I have used alot of Raptor in truck beds where it belongs. Adding their grit or even silca sand to the last coat makes it look better. I have never liked it on the outside of a truck, even worse of it's tinted. A good way to make a decent truck look redneck.

    Factory 5 Spoke Wheels

    try it first with peel paint, stand back and look at it you will be surprised. If you don't like it peel it off. Alot smarter than modifying a rim. I am doing a set of alloys of a different style now and have done many before to hide details.

    Towing Long Distance

    Almost 40 years with two car trailers with surge brakes. Rebuilding one this winter and putting on new surge. You won't have any issues with surge brakes. There are electric or mechanical backing provisions. You can back them slowly without them if it is not uphill. Always look at truck braking...

    Holley Classic Bumpers?

    check with your local Keystone auto body supply store. They are in various cities nationwide. You can save shipping and look it over before you walk out. I buy thousands of dollars a year from Keystone.

    Tbi carb swap

    If you have to turn your distributor that far it is not in correctly. The piston is a TDC twice in every cycle, it needs to be on the compression stroke TDC. Also, the rotor has to face #1 on the cap, not #1 cylinder. You didn't specify which #1, I recently had someone try to tell me it was #1...

    Interior heat problem?!

    Flush your entire cooling system including removing the block drains. I had alot of rust in the bottom of the block that was stirred up from a coolant change and plugged the heater core. Amazing how much crap came out of block drains and knock sensor

    Paint suggestions

    You cannot use factory paint, it is not really usable outside of factory equipment. You can buy refinish color that will match the factory color. By match I mean blendable match, not panel paint. Take your truck to a local paint supply store or body shop so they can use a variant deck or camera...

    A little side project.... trash can

    first shop I worked in for 10 years had only these barrels for garbage. Layers of paint on them from doing double duty as paint stands. We dumped them into the garbage truck every week when he came.

    Engine off center

    offset to provide clearance for steering box, steering shaft, brake booster or diff. Chev engines were offset back into the 60's depending on the engine/options combination.
