Stupid question probably, but my 36x40x16 "shop" has been in the carport stage since I started it 4 years ago. That is, that it's just a roof. I've found that not having walls kinda sucks when you're trying to keep the wind from blowing down you, your lights, and anything else that isn't welded...

I’m looking at a 2008 bullet that won’t start and no one else wants to give the owner the time of day. First place I looked showed me what I figured it would. Turn the key, “check gauges”. Trans position (auto, obviously) doesn’t show up on the dash. Truck has an engine out of a ‘12 3500...

So, I removed the bed on my 4th gen to change the sending unit, clean up some surface rust, and other little stuff. Once it was off, I saw that the rubber piece spanning the bottom front of the bed that keeps water out of the cab vents has rubbed a ~4'x.75" spot on the cab down to bare metal. I...

Anyone use one of these lately? are the holes in the right place? I have one sitting here, entire dash is completely out, and I STILL can't get all of the holes lined up, regardless of how I tweak the frame. (part of the plastic frame above the cluster is broken) Either 3/4 of the windshield...

Cleaning out my 40’ box o’ shidt 187-3307 Cat head gasket (says it fits c10 c12 and 3406e) $50 FL Columbia(?) window a18-35310-000 is the number on the metal, glass is 1833120000 I’ll let you have it if you’re around central Texas, I’ll bust it in the trash before shipping. I’ll post more...

Any of you guys ever use Flange Wizard tools? Worth the cost? I’m specifically looking at the pipe layout and cutting guides for a side job building a pipe fence. Last time was all free hand, but I’m trying to speed up the process a bit. I gathered up most of the stuff to build some scribes and...

Looking for a VP engine, preferably a runner, but would consider anything as long as it’s not a cracked up 53 block (that’s why I’m looking LOL) I’m in Texas, but the guy is willing to pay for shipping if the price is right.

I’d tread lightly over here if you’re trying to buy/sell. They don’t like a new guy posting everywhere he can just to get around the minimum post count. Who ya with out there?

As much as I like the truck, I think it may be time to see if anyone else could use it to it’s full potential. 01 3500 c&c Nv4500 2wd (might have a front axle somewhere but no trans/Tcase) 205k miles 10k on valair organic single disk, flywheel and fork Tappet cover gasket is being changed...

Getting rid of my project truck. Let me know something soon, I plan on pulling it on the trailer friday, yanking the axles, and dragging what is left to the junkyard on saturday. All 94-02 dodge parts, I'll add to the list as I find stuff all colors of the rainbow. everything needs paint...

They had to start out with that run, didn't they? LOL DIESEL NOVA!? Rolling Coal Down The DRAG STRIP! - YouTube

I'm not sure if this should go here, 'get a quote', or where, so move the thread/call me an idiot as necessary. Anyways, does anyone here have the ability to get ahold of any 4/6bt crate engines Straight from cummins? Is that where the long blocks that the diesel shops "stock" come from, or are...

Who here actually owns tools to measure things with, besides a ruler, plastigage, and a tape measure? For a hobby guy, is it worth it? Looking at lots of piston stuff has me really geeked out on measuring devices for whatever reason. Looking at dial bore gauges/inside mics, outside mics, and...

Anyone here ever restore an older (70's-80's) truck? I've been kind of shopping around for a project to keep me busy when I get out of the Corps here next year, mostly 282 or 352 Pete, or Needle nose Kennie, but have only found a couple. I did however find a mid 70's 359 I like with a 350...
