    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Today I installed a new cover that hides the linkage inside the tailgate. I have nut/ bolt thread identifiers as well as thread chasers and taps & dies, both standard and metric. Unless the holes in the tailgate were Whitworth thread, I couldn't figure out what they were. I finally ran a 1/4"-28...

    Bringing it back to life!

    I was in upstate New York a bunch of years ago and it snowed in July, I thought that was the craziest thing. Apparently it's more common than I realized.

    You don't mess around. I'm shocked to see all that green grass and none of that funny white stuff out there in the frozen tundra where you're at. :thumbsup:

    Sticky Throttle

    Which is the better brand? I just happened to find these on Amazon.

    Someone go get it!!!

    I presume that was Augusta, Maine and not Georgia.

    ISO a guy that could help me time my 93 non turbo.

    I just recently acquired another toolbox, now it's a matter of harnessing some organizational skills in where everything's going to go so I don't have to open a slew of drawers before I find what I'm looking for.

    But... but... what about the never ending quest for more tools? Those toolboxes aren't going to fill themselves. I mean, that's what separates us from the animals. ;Poke

    Time to defeat my FSS?

    I have an old Rockwell 10×36 lathe, I seem to use that more often than not. With either the mill or the lathe, I can usually build one of just about anything, if you want a duplicate.... well I'm not that guy. :rolleyes:

    Time to defeat my FSS?

    I have a mill, but I am by no means a machinist. What I've learned is that buying the mill is cheap, getting all the tooling you need for various projects is what gets expensive. A comfortable couch is very important. LOL

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I was given a warning ticket the other morning on my way to work. The cop said my taillights were dim. I said that these are incandescent bulbs, not those new LED... did you notice how old this truck is? They're just as bright as the 3157 bulbs in my '99 GMC.

    Sticky Throttle

    Are these any good? My pipes are leaking at each slip joint. Frustrating.

    Yay, tools. I like the way you think. :Thumbs Up

    Wet Black spray on ground at cold start hard throttle.

    So this doesn't exactly fit the topic but when I read this statement it made me reminisce. Years ago I had a motorcycle with upswept exhaust pipes. A friend of mine had a pretty new motorcycle and was constantly cleaning it. He was washing his one day and convinced me to clean mine. During the...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I agree, I've had a brandy new radio in the box for the past two years. I prefer to hear what the engine has to say. In the part of Florida where I live, air conditioning is a necessity unless you enjoy heat stroke. I have all the parts needed to replace mine, too many other things jumping the...

    Tie down hook

    That expanded metal makes the sliding rear window useless for anything other than wind passing through.

    Tie down hook

    I have something similar to what you described. I'm considering welding some D rings to the steel plate that's bolted to the bed for lower attachment points.

    That'll help to set em on the right path.

    I got rid of my torch several years ago and I miss it regularly. |stupid

    Clutch pedal mystery

    They may not steal the truck but they'll certainly grab tools and spare change you have laying around in there. Heck, there's people breaking into churches anymore, it's a screwed up world. It depends on where I'm at that determines whether I roll up the windows and lock my truck. The fact is...

    True, but you also have Wilson watching your back. :backoff

    Clutch pedal mystery

    There you go, that makes sense. I was thinking it was some kind of redneck steering wheel lock where I needed to buy a chain, a lock and get some Bubba teeth. :joker: Thanks

    Clutch pedal mystery

    Does anyone have a clue why someone would weld a nut to a clutch pedal? This has baffled me for a while.

    Blue smoker. Seems like it’s tough to narrow down.

    Great, thank you!
