Can you put barn doors on a "tailgated" Suburban??

diesel4me — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:17:28 GMT

Have a question...can the "barn" doors on a 73-87 Suburban be swapped onto one that came with a tailgate factory???..I have a chance to snag a decent pair ,but as I was removing them I wondered if the place for the hinges and strikers will be there on the one made with a tailgate??..(I dont have the truck I want to put them on here to look at yet!)..

I have to act fast or these doors will get crushed ,just like the tailgate I went to BUY today at the same salvage yard,they crushed the truck this morning!..:doah::(--I'm hoping someone here has done the swap and can tell me if it is "do-able" or should I just stick with a tailgate??..I'd much prefer the barn doors ,if its possible to swap them ..

If it makes a difference, it stems from a true life event that took place *gulp* in my own family not more than a month ago.

Getting a boat next week

Col_Sanders — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:58:55 GMT

Its been sitting for ~15 years inside a storage unit and my uncle won it in an auction. It is a 1984 17ft Ranger bass boat with a 140hp Johnson. Aside from the seats falling apart, it looks to be in good condition. No damage to gel coat, motor is clean, and its full of fishing gear. I want to start ordering the parts I will need to get it going. I know I will need to replace the batteries and water pump and I'll go ahead and rebuild the carb and get spark plugs while I am at it. What else should I do to it before firing it up?

After long and hard searching I finally found this mulletacular pic I saw a long time ago and I need a quick chop done by somebody...

The second in the stay cruel hoodie is my BIL, whos face I want chopped onto the guy with the mullet. Keeping the mullet and baldness would only make it better. Any help would be appreciated.

I consider getting drunk just so that I can shout loudly about the wonders of analog synths.

(I don't drink at all, you see.)

possible repo issue

79rustyk10 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:04:54 GMT

OK a year ago, I traded my 74 nova to a "friend" for a few hundred bucks and a 350 and what was supposed to be a 327, but was a 305.being the good guy I am I overlooked the 305 issue because it ran really well.Now a year later I still havent been paid the cash. I keep asking but theres always some sort of excuse. I still have the title and now would happily dump the engines in the dudes yard and take my car back, just to get it all said and done with.

What say you guys?

NP 205 Torque mount

What's in a steering column?

sheoldeblaze — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:18:34 GMT

So I'm still having problems with my steering, and I'm pulling out what little hair I have trying to figure it out. I'll re-cap a previous post first...

My steering wheel is not staying straight, meaning the top of the wheel is not staying in the 12 o'clock position. It will start out there, the blazer will drive straight down the road. Then I make a "hard" right turn in to a parking lot, or backing out of a parking spot,(when I say "hard" turn, I mean more turning than is required for changing lanes) and then my steering wheel stays to the right. The top of the wheel is now in the 9 o'clock position when driving straight, and if I let go of the wheel it stays straight. It also does this when I make left turns.

Here is what I have done so far: replaced upper and lower ball joints, replaced tie-rod and tie-rod endlinks, replaced draglinks, replaced draglink adjusting sleeve, replaced pit-man arm, replaced power steering gear box, checked frame for cracks, there where none, installed ORD steering brace before putting in new gear box. Used all new grade 8 bolts with lock tight, and lock nuts on gear box to frame mounts. Inspected rag joint, it is in relatively great shape, very little movement, no tears, cracks, stretching or swelling. Checked u-bolts and they were all there in good shape and properly tightened, checked leaf spring bushings, all polly and in excellent shape, checked leaf spring bolts, all tightened and properly tourqued. Checked steering wheel, bolted on properly and all nuts/bolts properly tightened. Used paint pen, and marked drag links, adjusting sleeve, tie-rods, pit man arm, gear box, to see if anything was loosening up and moving.

My steering issues were there before I checked and replaced things, and are still there now.

This morning I went to the store, steering wheel adjusted yet again to the proper 12 o'clock position. I backed out of the parking spot, turned the wheel to the right while backing up, heard a pop, nothing to loud, but definitely heard it. Started driving home, and when driving straight down the road, and the dang wheel was in the 9 o'clock position!!!!! Grrrrrrr!!! :(

Got home, checked all my paint pen marks and nothing has moved!!! All my lines are still lined up!!!

My only thought now is perhaps something inside the steering column itself? But I have never seen the insides of one? What's in there? What do you guys think? Thoughts? Suggestions? I need to figure this out or I'm gonna drive the dang thing off a cliff! At least then I would have some reason as to why the steering wheel won't stay centered! Lol
