Having said that, there ARE moments when you feel like letting her rip! Do they make a crossover? Asking for a friend... ![]() 3
General Discussion / Re: 20 years« Last post by 78 Chevyrado on August 09, 2026, 12:42:04 am »13 years ago almost lost her, in the Adairsville, GA 2013 tornado but as bad as that tornado was and all the destruction it caused, my truck came out without one scratch on it.
That tornado destroyed so much in the entire area but somehow I made it out. When we finally got to go home I had to drive through 3 foot deep water 4 times to make it. flooding everywhere, big mess. God was on my side that day. I was working for a guy flipping houses. This is before I got the van and spent 2 years or so working out of the truck. WOOOO! The porch rail i put up was all I got done. The tornado came up quick, we ran to that lil closet in the center of the house. when I came out all my tools on the porch were gone including my nice skilsaw, but on the window sill my lil torpedo level was sitting right there. crazy as heck! Me and Mr Brown Took all our food and water out of our vehicles and hid in that house in a tiny closet. We made it. I had my makita radio with us. We were fine until the AM band went out then we got real scared. If AM goes out you're in big big trouble. When we came back out gas lines had been broken by those huge tree roots. couldn't smoke, wouldn't dare try to start a car because of fear of the sparks the starter might make. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O-X38YRJ3s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9YxGnT7050 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCk_RPAtjdc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OflQQ6Qwq3o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPLl2KKijZQ 4
Interior & Equipment / Adding Front Cupholders to your 91 suburban type console« Last post by 78 Chevyrado on August 09, 2026, 12:16:20 am »I have a 91 suburban console in my 78 C20.
Here's how I added front cupholders to it using one of those cupholder units thats supposed to go between the console and the seat in normal cars. I was working out of my truck doing framing and trim when I added this. I needed more space for stuff. Ugly from the bottom but nobody will ever see that. From the top I filed it down to fit the console. It takes a while but the result is worth it. Use 4 bolts to put it together with the stock 91 console. 5
Engine/Drivetrain / 78 Chevy C20 TH400 Kickdown« Last post by 78 Chevyrado on August 09, 2026, 12:10:23 am »I don;t know why it was like this but when I got the 78 C20 it would never kickdown ever...
I tried to set it by the way the manuals say to do it. Still didn't work. So I did this mod to my switch under the dash. The way to set it is to pull it one way then floor the gas and it will set that switch. well on mine if you floored the gas it never even touched the switch. no idea if that was from factory or grandad did something wrong but here was my solution. wrap ever larger pieces of hose until it acts right. took this much of layers of rubber hoses to make my truck act right. It's been perfect ever since, 20 years and growing. 6
General Discussion / UPOL spray bottle« Last post by philo_beddoe on August 08, 2026, 10:36:05 pm »Yes, I’ve been using the original raptor bottle, but it’s starting to leak. The link you attached also showed this nice metal one for a buck more, think it would fit, it looks like it would…it doesn’t have very good reviews though, flimsy…

I have a bunch of them I've saved but shutz bottles, undercoating bottles etc are pretty cheap. I've even used a coconut water bottle once. https://www.amazon.com/Second-Skin-Deadening-Undercoating-Rustproofing/dp/B01JJM3OHU
