A Chevy engine in a Dodge truck? No thanks. I mean geez dude, ya couldn't find a nice Hemi to drop in there?

ain't that the truth

a "fleet side." don't understand only 1 pic of motor and none of instruments. guess he figures he's covered it with, ask and he'll send more.

no wipers. I was born in austin and know it does rain there. strange

interesting. never thought about that making it easier to turn the wheel.
is the 15" smaller than your old wheel? if so, seems that would make it a little harder to turn. I just ask because mine is 16 3/4.

technically, the signal never goes from the switch to the horn; instead, it goes from the switch to the relay (in the fuse panel). that is your single wire from the horn button. when you press the horn button, which grounds it, the signal goes to the relay. when the relay receives the signal, it sen...

... dual exhaust on the slant 6? ...

OK, another thing I've never heard of.
on a straight motor?

as Kaegi said, the voltage reducer is built in to the fuel gauge. you don't replace the reducer, you replace the gauge. FWIW, I ran an aftermarket temp gauge for several weeks, and operating temp was 185 - 190. My factory gauge has registered between the "M" and the "P" for ages. Just for kicks, I t...

my ron francis kit probably same as yours on this: horn relay built in to the fuse panel. I have the existing horn. I had to get the ron francis guy to talk me through this. existing wire from button goes out of the steering column (with the other wires) to a new butt connector. other side of butt c...

nothing beats a light for instant notification

lighter on mine has no letter. it is replacement from Powerwagon54. maybe 67 different.

I wonder if yours is the same as mine? I have some issues with the steering column, but I don't think it's this bearing. This is good info to save for the future.

here are pics of the e-brake bracket; there are 2 bolts attaching it; I forgot to get the top of the bolts: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7bnfc9vfmw1xeu7/2018%200613%20e-brake%20bracket%20%281%29.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/h79xxz29xm7z198/2018%200613%20e-brake%20bracket%20%282%29.jpg?dl=0 https:...

I can get tonight, if no one else gets them before then. I don't know if any differences on this between your utiline and my sweptline.

I know what you mean. More and more I do remember to take a photo before I take things apart, but then when I start putting it back together, I have to remember why I took the photo.

I recently needed bulbs for mine, and walmart was out of 1157, but they had a 2057. per this article - I cannot vouch for its accuracy: http://automotivemileposts.com/taillightbulbcomparison.html the 1157 is the standard bulb, which outputs 3 candlepower on low and 32 on high. but these bulbs also w...

That linkage gets jammed over time and is tough to pry apart. If you can spray a bit of penetrating oil on that location and wiggle it back and forth.... it should come loose. :2cents John Just keep messing with as John said. it will come loose. thanks to Hobcobble and HellBelly for this old post c...

for what it's worth, I used 80W-90 gear oil in my 1966 A745, after my trans guy said that was fine. It doesn't get below freezing much down here.
