    Has anyone ever seen this style of roof console?

    Someone (maybe you) recently posted this in the Facebook group but with wood. That’s a really neat upper console. I really like the CB radio too. I wish I could find one lol.

    Sound Deadening - Cost/Thickness/Density Comparison

    Hey Folks, I was tinkering around the other day trying to compare sound deadening. Mostly I was looking for best bang for buck and using density as the driving factor with price point coming in second. I was messing around and put it into excel and figured it was at least neat to share...

    Question: Rear Seat AC vent conversion

    I didn't realize it but I guess 97+ has this on Crew cabs and I think extended cabs. I found some old threads where this was discussed a little. Most people complained about how the floor vents didn't really put out any useable air for hot weather environments like us. Probably not worth...

    Good morning gents, I had recently bought a 14 bolt FF rearend with 13" Drums for a 95 Diesel Van from a scrap yard. I'm trying to buy parts before I break open the hubs to replace the seals, bearings and brake shoes. Looking online, it appears there are 2.5" Width shoes and 3.5" width...

    14 Bolt Full Float Drum Brakes

    This is a really good thread. We should get the section out where he went step by step and sticky it. I'm sure plenty may know how to do this but there's plenty more that could use the run down.
