    Need to know a nut size!

    Nothin at the boneyard. Napa was no help. I got the old steering column I pulled outta the truck when I put the new one in, guess I'll just bring it to some hardware stores and see what fits. The original nut was a flange nut, is there a problem with swapping that out with a jam nut?

    I mean they failed. All they succeeding in doing was ruining a good steering column. I can only assume one of the idiots convinced the other idiot he knew how to hotwire a car. They broke the drivers side door glass, broke the steering column, got arrested at the scene. The bed had a bunch...

    Ressurecting a stolen write-off. Need some help in here!

    Got sold a 97 GMC 1500 Z71 with a 5.7l L31 under the hood and 188k on the od for $300 by the father in law as it was just sitting in a barn collecting dust. About a year ago a few punks tried to steal it from a buddy of his and completely made a cockup of it. They completely broke the metal...
