    Which set of wheels?

    I was looking at my parts truck planning what I'm going to rob off of it next, and I was wondering how the aluminum rims would look on the '89. They're 16.5" wheels and the clear coat on them is gone in some areas and some oxidation is going on. I would like to have you guys' opinion on...

    Gauge, senders, or TSV?

    The fuel gauge doesn't work in the '89 on either tank. The gauge pegs full until the tank gets pretty low (but no idea how low....low enough that I run it dry if I ignore it too long), then it will rock to about a half, then go full tilt "full" within 15-20 miles. I only run on the rear tank...

    Home made grille guard

    I've been wanting to do this for a while on the '89 and I even made cardboard templates a long time ago so last week, I found an amish outfit near my house that does oil well drilling stuff and fabrication and I gave them the template and they said they could cut them out. I picked the...

    Power steering pump R/R

    Does anyone how much of a hassle it would be to remove/replace the P/S pump on a '96 VW Passat? My brother and I rebuilt the engine last summer after we found out it had 450,000 miles (we bought it thinking it only had 150,000, didnt know the odo tripped after 300k -cuss). It was shaking...

    Will these work on my truck?

    Will these rims fit my '89 4x4? "Up for sale are these 16X9, 8 lug, American Racing Wheels off a 92 dodge 3/4 ton. Tires are not included. All 4 rims are in good shape. I haven't seen any rims to match these on the streets since I got the truck! I believe ford and chevy's have the same lug...

    Hand throttle

    I was driving down the highway in the '05 f150 with the cruise control and I was thinking about adding cruise to my older rigs, but I don't really want to mess with electronics and all the goodies that go along with grafting an OE system into my trucks. :puke: Then I came across the idea of a...

    Broken dipstick!!!

    Well, I got back from Colorado Tuesday and decided to change the oil in the '89. Well, I added the oil and went to remove the dipstick when it "slipped" out and the only thing that came out were the yellow handle and about 6" or so of the inner tube thingy -cuss-cuss-cuss So am I stuck...

    My first attempt at a decent paint job

    Well, while I wait for the '89 to get back from the shop for rear brake service, I thought I'd paint the bed a different color....just something about a yellow cab and a blue bed that doesn't sit to well in my stomach :puke: :backoff So I used my hvlp sprayer for the first time and used that...

    Dana 44/50 TTB vs dana 60 hangers.

    I've been looking at a truck at a heavy equipment dealer for my 4x4 donor...but unless it has the same gears as mine...its probably not going to work out (dad's not too fond of the idea of re-gearing...cookoo). The main reason for this truck was because it has everything on it I would...

    D60 CL find....maybe

    Well, summers approaching...FAST (next tuesday!!!! :hail) So that means the 4x4 swap is gaining some deeper considerations, since the '55 olds has a 95% chance of not happening. So I've been thinking of some options. Best would be to find a f350 4x4, diesel, manual to make it the easiest to swap...

    6.9/7.3 head interchangeable?

    Are the 6.9/7.3 IDI heads interchangeable? I ask because I've had a mostly complete '90 7.3L for over 2 years now and I'm gonna scrap all I cant use. I already plan on keeping the rockers and injectors (to save them for to-be cores for moose injectors hopefully ;Sweet). Anything else I...

    WTB: Highliner

    I am looking for a highliner for a ford truck, preferably one for no original head liner, but will make any one work. Color doesnt matter as long as its in DECENT condition, ie: no big cracks, missing pieces, broken, etc. Depending on conition, I will fork out no more than $200 +S/H (a little...
