Surplus 1985 Chevrolet D30 4x4 Pickup in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, United States (GovPlanet Item #7755176) A real beauty. 1 owner 25 K miles. They know what they got no low ballers.

Classic Car Dashes 1981-1991 Chevrolet C/K Series GMC Dash Pad - Urethane - Black (topflightautomotive.com) You told me about this dash pad before, and I looked at the picture on the web site. I question the droop over the cluster in the picture. With a metal underlayment there should be no...

Why doesn't anyone want to say if it is 1 piece metal and has a flange at the cluster for tinnerman nuts. I have tried everyone I could and the only ones that truly fit and match have been the OEM ones. I will look into these ones you are showing. I only need 1 more in decent condition. If the...

The weekend started out well. I made lots of progress on a few of the projects I have going on. I was able to get both of my trailers loaded with firewood unloaded. I split it all as I unloaded it. I have a large barn at my friend's house that we are repairing, and painting and I was able to get...

I was at a real estate auction today and they sold a 1996 full size Bronco with 82 K miles, it brought $13,500. and it was not in perfect condition I seen rust pushing at the wheel arches on the 1/4's and the front fender. A green on green. I was expecting $6-7K and wonder why it would have such...

That looks like a good deal. If I were needing a nice one that is the one, I would purchase. i never seen one but if it has the 1-piece metal unlayment that is the one you want. Good Luck.

My experience has been that the only ones that fit and have the entire steel underlayment in 1 piece is the original ones. Where I have issues with fit is where the dash screws to the right side and I have extra issues with the lack of the metal flange in the corners where the instrument cluster...

CUCV head gasket / head/ or change engine survey | Page 4 | SteelSoldiers

Funny story. My Wife was saving money for a road trip she was going on with a church. She asks if I knew of any way to make money. I had a driveway full of CUCV's at the time and I was rebuilding them. Everyone I rebuilt I changed the lift pump on. I told her I would give her $35. each to change...

Strange thing is I see vehicles like this all the time. Everyone is a mechanic and excels at stereo installation. The add this and add that and then they wonder why things go south quickly. When I bought used vehicles for daily drivers, I would never buy one that had anything changed from stock...

10 ft lbs max with the gaskets on the valve covers. After that you are crushing them. 20 ft lbs with the sealer only same goes.

That is why every good mechanic has a set of thin tappet wrenches. May i recommend that if you work on your CUCV you have at least a thin 13MM and a thin 15MM wrench. I had a friend mill down a set of inexpensive Craftsman wrenches in metric and standard. Just the open end side. Saved a lot of...

They are both the same. they should both have an isolated ground stud on them. there is no difference. The Gen 1 has a separate ground wire from the 1/4" case mounted stud on the alternator to the M10 stud on the coolant cross over manifold. The other Gen 2 on passengers is just wired into the...

I would also be concerned about ball joints. These never had grease fittings on the ball joints and 35 years later they are most likely rusty dry ball joints and that would give outer wheel wobble also. All 4 ball joints will be less than $150. Now getting them put in may cost 2-3 times as much...

Please tell us you didn't put gaskets under the valve covers. I always use valve cover gaskets on every 6.2 diesel I work on and have to remove the valve covers. Part Details (drivparts.com) I put a light coating of Permatex® The Right Stuff® Black 1 Minute Gasket Maker, 5 OZ – Permatex on...

Disconnect the batteries and change it from the top. You can remove Gen with the wires intact and access the lift pump from top. Very easy. Leave everything loose till you get everything started hand tight. The bottom 2 m 6 push rod cover plate bolts are the only 2 you need to tighten from the...

Do I see cracked rubber sway bar bushings?

Where is MPLS? And you can run the engine with 1 alternator . Yes isolate the wires to avoid contact with any other wires or ground. I have some rebuilt alternators. I never had to put a value on them because I have that many of them. I have new ones and rebuilt ones. Be careful running the...

I was on an LED kick lately. I converted my Kubota to full LED lighting. I even changed the oil warning light to LED. I never seen my Kubota have such bright headlamps. Another thing was when I was plowing snow with it and had the 4 ways on the lights on the fender would get that hot, they would...
