. Not sure about your state, but here in NC the towing vehicle does have the trailer "covered" on the insurance policy. @Coug and @Action are both right about the U-Haul policy if something goes wrong. AND just know that if something happens - Lawyers will be lined up to do their best to take...

. Lookin Good @chucky !

. It just looks better and better! Nice for sure...

. Even if you don't have her ready for the rally, come on over anyway. Get to know some of the folks in your area. Those events are generally a good place to find parts if you need something. Helps give you ideas on what you may want to do to your truck too.

. Definitely looks like you got a nice truck! The furniture being there too is a big plus as well too. If you decide you want to build out a camping vehicle, I would suggest that you hang on to the furniture. Sounds like you have a good plan. Check out the fuel tank and maybe next the fuel...

. An awful lot like the first Chevy with a supercharger on it. Hot Rod driver with a blind spot that occupied about a quarter of the space in front and to the right of me. Pretty amazing that at seventeen I never had a crash because of it... "Stuff" in your truck window could cause the same...

. Head gasket alone and running for 5 minutes wouldn't make it shut down the motor. It may be that the PO (Previous Owner) cranked it and there was "gunk" in the fuel tank that got sucked into the injector pump. Might be worth a really bright flashlight in the tank to look down in there to see...

. It looks like you have a really nice truck VBsurfer ! You'v already mentioned that you have some tech manuals. Be sure to grab the ones specific to your truck here. Welcome to the outfit! Snap up a few pictures of the engine bay so we can know for sure what you have under the hood...

. And it provides emergency heat too - if there is a need for it!

. May as well laugh about it. That keeps us all sane and keeps us from wanting to choke somebody that really needs it...

. The number on the "black rubber looking thing" (fused link) is amps (generally 20, 30 or 50 amps). They work just like a blade or glass fuse would - except the links are a one time "burn up and die" operation. Only reason it matters is that the links are a "slow blow" variety of fuses...

. I really don't know. Not really sure what kind of rubber protectant should or could be used. When torque rods are built (at least in the old days), they have a metal sleeve that contains the rubber and ball. The old rubber piece is pressed out and a new one is pressed in when the old one...

. Possibly avoid the slow boat from china with something made here in the states? https://www.americansuperlite.com/

. Absolutely! Even just sitting there - it looks cool!

. banditt1979 Make them do their job there at the department of motor vehicles... You have the real VIN stamped there on the frame. Don't add numbers to it and just stand there quietly - making them have to figure it out. Most have "Process and Procedures" guidelines and/or books. They just...

. Looking mighty fine!

. Curiosity thing... The fire departments and crash trucks in particular that are "armed" with AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) have discovered that the old material is bad for your health. AFFF contains (contained) PFOS and PFOA. Those two groups hoave been found to be carcinogenic...

. Thanks porkysplace ! That is a lot better than the little offering that I posted for Robtstee

. Gen 1 and Gen 2 are different (or should be different from a normal Chevy alternator). Both must have an Isolated Ground and that is pretty important. Picture attached EDIT: Both Alternators are isolated ground and Both are the same. Thanks for the correction MarcusOReallyus

. No joke... A set of GOOD safety Glasses. I never will forget as a youngster when I dropped the jackshaft from between the transmission and the transfer case onto my face. Young and Dumb, I was wiggling a long screwdriver between the universal joint and the flange that it bolted to...
