The black wire is ground. The other colors you mention don't match the factory wiring diagram but with a test light and the instructions that came with your headlights maybe you can figure it out.

I found the MSDS for the Evercoat Z-grip filler. When it's still wet to looks like the nastiest stuff it has is styrene (15%-20% of the product) and crystalline sillica (0%-1%). One good thing about styrene is that you smell it way before it's a bi

I have the opportunity to buy a complete Napco 4x4 Suburban, but don't know if the hubs and transfer case have enough value to make the purchase worthwhile. Any thoughts?

I am looking for advice on what most people use to prep and paint the floor of their trucks. Doesn't need to be a show winner finish, but want it to be close to original without paying a lot. Do most sandblast the metal, or just rough it up, prime

I purchased a fuel line for my 59 apache. In the classic chevy parts book it did not distinguish between 3/4 ton (my pickup) and a 1/2 ton. The shipping paper says it is for a 1/2 ton. When I match it up to the old line, which is hard to do since

It looks like the 10 hole motor wheel. The same nut holds the inside as the outside. If you need to single it, just use the the nuts that came off. If some studs break or threads strip, just a couple of nuts will hold it to trailer it.

Would really like to take off rear drums to replace shoes on our 63 C20 fleetside. It has very sticky-outy hubs which have x8 bolts at the end and something in the middle that looks as though it might twist. Wheel is 8-lug, rear ends looks weapons-gr
