Not everyone has good reading comprehension and can retain information as well as others. I am not in the OP's situation and do not need to know his situation. I just answer the question as it is presented. I work on an assembly line and everyday the same issues occur at some point in time. Whether it be a torque sequence or torque spec. I could call back and say read the prints. Some people do that. I don't. I give the correct answer or check and get back to the person asking. Sometimes I get 3 people calling me at the same time about a torque or a confusion over Metric and standard fasteners. We build a lot of truck body's and we are still using all standard fasteners to build the bodies and the chassis we build on are all metric. When a bolt on the chassis is misplaced or lost it becomes an issue with a production worker and I get called to resolve the shortage. Every part I order for a truck chassis must be ordered from a dealer using the VIN. I have never been told to read the prints and never tell anyone else to read the prints for simple questions. We all follow the prints but not everyone can retain that information from the paper / drawing board to the finished product. I was always told there are no dumb questions. Only the ones that are not ask and end in failure are the dumb ones. So peace man. I am not belittling you. I think we all share an interest in the same thing and we are on this forum to help each other out. I don't expect to do an hours research when I can pick up the phone/computer and make a call to someone that knows the correct answer. Someone I can trust. I do NOT claim to know everything about CUCV's but I have a fair share of knowledge that I could never have learned from books alone. I like the knowledge that I have and I also like to share that knowledge. And when ask I will give as accurate as an answer that I can. And that pigtail meant nothing to me and I was happy to help you out. Me I would have used 2 female spades and called it a day. I don't see any shows coming up for my trucks. I do NOT like hanging out and showing off my trucks. If I drive onto a lot and guys want to look at it Fine. It happens every day with everything I am driving. Even my new truck is different because it is as plain a 4 X 4 Chevy as most people have ever seen. And I like it that way. All stock and ready to go. So be cool and enjoy life.
