    '50 Chevy 3100

    Not an exciting update, but a much needed one. Installed a proper over flow tank for the radiator. The previous one leaked, and didn't allow the rad to pull water back in. Also installed a fuel pressure regulator, with gauge, so I could see what the electric pump was putting out. I kept being...

    Changing tires fast ‘ Going opposite ways ..Need opinions on what will ride smoother and be good for a 5k suv ”

    I've run ATs several times, mostly BFGs, and never noticed any balance issues, on trucks from an S10 to a 2500. The only reason I didn't recommend BFG ATs, is they get noisy after a while. Very noticeable on the 2500. I had a set of MTs on a 1500, Cooper STT, if I remember correct. Cool...

    Changing tires fast ‘ Going opposite ways ..Need opinions on what will ride smoother and be good for a 5k suv ”

    I've seen a ton of people recommend Toyo AT3s, for their durability, performance, and low noise for an AT tire. Enough that I'll probably be going that direction when I need tires for my daily.

    Bowtie Brody's Namesake 96 454

    One of the other vendors said there will be a fall show, but starting next year, all swap meets spots will be outside of the track, which is where we were anyway. They make more money charging businesses to setup booths, than they do the average Joe, with a few tables. Did you see how much a...

    I was at the Auto Fair Friday, with a buddy, that was selling parts. I took a few leftovers from the parts truck, and managed to sell about half of what I took. Didn't really expect to sell any of it.

    '50 Chevy 3100

    Been tinkering with the old truck. Put a new bullet in the trans, and looks like that took care of the leak. The wife and I threw a backyard alignment on the new front end, and feels like we did pretty good. Drives way better now, and even holds a straight line going down the road. My son has a...

    3/4 Ton of fun - ‘95 Sierra

    I leave town for a few days, and you put the wheels on it. They look good, and go well with the white truck. Like the spikes too. Sucks about the ordeal the brakes are being. You'll get it figured out, I'm sure.

    Cheap plasma cutter

    Anybody have experience with cheap plasma cutters? I've always wanted one, but didn't want to spend the money. Now I'm seeing some in the $200-300 range, that I might could justify buying. JEGS plasma Cutter Mainly looking at that one. It won't get used a ton, I don't think, but would...

    '50 Chevy 3100

    Got all the new front end parts on today, but seen the next project, when I went to start this one. The trans dipstick tube, looks like a Lokar style, and is leaking like crazy, where it goes into the trans. It pulls out super easy, so I should be able to find a couple orings, and make that an...

    95 long bed dually fender.. help!!

    Curious if the Classic fenders are the same size as the stock ones? I almost ordered a set a while back, but looking at the measurements they have on their website, didn't seem to match up to my stockers.

    I would do either of these. In the past I've use the beehive ones, that come with some of the kits, and just cut them in half.

    Looking for this grill setup. Has anyone seen anything like this before and if so where could I get it, or is it a custom piece?

    '50 Chevy 3100

    Apparently, the guy that wired the headlights on this truck, is a residential electrician. I've never seen so many wire nuts on a vehicle. Got all of it connected properly, and working like it suppose to. Pretty sure the blue rings are illegal, but I'll run 'em, until I'm told not to. Edit...

    '50 Chevy 3100

    Love seeing these trucks, in any condition. Ordered a whole front end rebuild "kit" last night. Tie rod ends, adjusters, center link, idler arm, and instead of just ball joints, I got upper and lower control arms.
