    Best way to prep and paint rusty frame.

    HD Headlight Harnesses w/ 4 High Mod

    Can you do it for a W/T single headlights and use the high beam to trigger the extra relay for a light bar? But have the light bar switchable so I can run without the light bar if I choose?

    89-99 short bed and tailgate. Great condition.

    That's a nice bed and good price too. But I need a long bed. https://springfieldil.craigslist.org/pts/d/springfield-chevy-truck-6-foot-bed-and/6978363032.html Fixed the link for ya

    New Engine swap out

    Probably, but I have heard warranty on any crate engine is a pain to get honored if you do the swap yourself. So I prefer the best quality for my money. I'm leaning towards the GM and just running headers and carb. The vortec already makes enough power for daily driving. I can't rebuild the...

    New Engine swap out

    Gear ratio identification

    So I went outside. Jacked up one side of the trucks axle. Ten turns to the wheel. Pinion turned 18.65 times. So 18.65 pinion rotations ÷ 10 tire rotations = 1.865 1.865 x 2 (for each side of axle I guess) = 3.73 So I have 3.73 gears. Should of looked while I had the cover off......oh well.

    Gear ratio identification

    Unfortunately I just did the diff fluid about 2 weeks ago. I'm trying to find a cam rpm that will work with the gears in it. The ring and pinion looked perfect, but I was hoping for 4.10 gears. Once I get home I'm gonna recount in multiple of tens.

    Gear ratio identification

    Sweet!!! I will turn it 10x. More precise than turning 1 time.

    Gear ratio identification

    I will give it a shot tomorrow. I re checked it probably 6 times. Even had one of my kids under it counting it. I couldn't believe it. We will try and lift both tires off the ground.
