yep, they are 3/8. I can attest to that being that I just did a tranny swap on mine. **** half breed ,metric/american 80's. I would use grade 5 or better.
yep, my 93 broke a crank form a bad balancer. check the rubber around it. The dorman ones are junk. I would not run anything but a Fliudampr now after buying one for my 98 6.5TD.
hey I got the restoration paint from Mil spray, anyone know if that stuff is toxic ? Reason I ask is my 6 yr old has my old steel tonka truck so I sandblasted it for him and he wants me to paint it olive drab...I don't want him getting sick from playing with it..

I thought so with the exhaust. A bodylift would solve that but I hate them and the pushbar/brille guard would...
Made in China garbage ...that's why. It is indeed Dark times for the Truck/Auto enthusiasts. I never thought I'd see the day when quality parts for a Square body Chevy would become hard to find. Best to go to a local re builder. I still have the original one in my 1008 AFAIK.
