And I'd like to add, no one likes to cross thread stuff and cross threading the fuel line is a real PIA. So instead of just hoping you have it lined up and going to town with it try holding it in place and turning it backwards, YES backwards counterclockwise at least one full turn, do that...

I think you might get away with what you have by extending the arm that goes to the hinge. Basically move everything to the left so the hinge is mounted at the 2 bumper bolts, that way you have the bumper reinforcement bracket to help and can 'beef' that up some. Failing that, an A frame mount...

Keep in mind that using an 85 and up flywheel will also require the 85 starter.

Probably, if not I'm sure the price has gone up!

Do you have AC in there? Or did the PO change out the bezel and do away with the black out light switches.

Ouch! If it were mine and I wasn't going to convert it back to stock, then yes I'd opt for the 60s. I believe you will need to change the wire ends that clip to the GP's themselves, wait and check as it may already have been done. What lights are the 4 switches for? I hope not headlights!

Is this something that slips over the wires and plug to kind of seal it to the back of the bulb or the headlight bucket?

Maybe fuel related, but the "revving real high" has me thinking other wise. Could it be in 2nd gear? Don't go by the PRNDL actually count the shifts.

I usually jack up the front so the tires don't dig up the driveway and start turn lock to lock kinda slowly.

Really? I don't need or want to hear that! I know 16.5s are thing of the past, but 16"? I haven't seriously looked but still see what seems to be a good selection.

Sorry but it was long ago and my memory is like a sieve!

I did a 700R4 and never looked back! What's not to like better MPG, lower first gear, lock up converter and cheap. I took a core tranny to a local shop and paid CASH and had it totally rebuilt and upgraded for about $1000. (was a few years ago) but the cash was the money saver. At that time...

Yeah, just Tee off that so you have a gauge and idiot light. Easy peasy.

Paint them black, but make sure you scuff them good. Nothing looks worse then peeling paint.

I walked into NAPA and they had them in stock.

That's a new one for me. How would a critter get into a sealed beam light?

Can you see down in there? I bet an O-ring would work, finding the right one might be a challenge.

You heard it, well read it, don't do it if you want to keep the truck. It's not just salt any more. Here in NY they are using some liquid stuff that makes salt look good! If you do have to drive it in the winter wash it often. Not just the outside but the underside, that will help prolong the...

Why do you want to tap in there at those lines? The engine block already has an oil pressure sending unit for the "idiot light", just pull that out and a couple of SAE type brass fittings and the job is done. For the tranny line, I used a tubing cutter and cut the line near the tranny and...

How far do you want to go? Some carry nothing and some probably have a parts store in the bed! I carry a gal of oil and one of 50% antifreeze and a gal of ATF some 3/8 fuel hose and clamps of various sizes. I also have some bailing wire, bungee cords and at least one ratchet strap and tow chain...
