  1. later 4.0s can definitely be used. what are your compression numbers?
  2. factory tow mirrors are the best mirrors the breakaways are shockingly small.
  3. that is a damn sexy truck.
  4. bump for any more?
  5. if you want to save your noggin, go with a custom rollbar made from DOM.
  6. a few guys here have repined the entire block. not sure if there's an official writeup though? check the DIY subforum.
  7. nothing bolts on without some sort of adapter. even the Fey bumpers have an adapter.
  8. if any of the bolt is exposed, you can tack weld a nut to it.
  9. the cupholders are worth even more than the storage space in a truck that came with none.

    how is that even possible?
  11. always great to see the old iron out and about.
  12. I guess it all depends on what you main goal is for it. protection? hold up some lights? look cool and impress the ladies?
  13. a tie rod end is a tie rod end. I don't remember anything but "the cure" for tie rod movement.
  14. that's a happy dude

    I seriously need to get into smoking meats.
  16. confirm that the rod that runs from the multifunction stalk down the column to the hibeam switch is there and engaging the switch. I've had them get out of alignment before. you can also check for power there. @cruiser54 any ideas?
  17. I'm not really sure how to prove a negative.
  18. do you hear a clicking noise further down the column when you engage the brights?
  19. sounds like it's time to pull the harness off the headlight switch and inspect for melting too. checking all the high-amp connectors is part of regular maintenance on our old trucks. (hvac, steering column, blower motor, blower resistor pack, etc)
  20. the 8th digit in the VIN in a 1 so that indicates a base model.
  21. what year is it?
  22. now's the time to think about replacing those ujoints straps with ubolts
  23. mine is definitely 35 years old, so it might match better? also, taking pictures of chrome things hasn't gotten any easier.
