I tried to figure out a starter issue (I think I need a shim kit) and I started the swap to my new Boss 338 wheels.

Well... officially it starts. Just sounds like grinding metal on the starter when it does. Anybody have thoughts on a remedy?

Took a quick cruise around the former Uniroyal tire factory - million sq ft brick complex. Much cooler than these pics capture.

Started building the stereo and interior side panels, more tuning of the VE tables of the LQ4 6 liter, and took the family for ice cream.

Looking goood.

Can't help but enjoy the drive.

**3757chevy** · 08-28-2018, 01:57 AM

It was last Friday not today , I drove to work and stopped at the local Friday night cruise-in on my way home. I always get there late . They start at 5 and I get out of work around 6:45 . Sometimes they are leaving as soon as I get there.

Droolguy · 08-28-2018, 07:46 PM

I bought it a parts truck to devour.

Stealing pretty much the whole drivetrain out of it for the Jimmy.

I’ve done the same for mine already as well. I blew the half ton axles twice and finally had to upgrade.

Moreyel · 09-03-2018, 07:06 PM

I finally started cuttin out rust today. The more I remove, the more I find! Can someone tell why the Torsion boxes are named that way and what they do? One of mine is missing and the other has a lot of rust.

Pete, glad to see this theead is going so well. First place I go.

Chulisohombre · 09-03-2018, 07:22 PM

The torsion boxes help keep the body aligned when the truck starts getting twisted up off roading. Without them you would not have good door openings as the body would basically start crushing itself in the middle. The tortion boxes and the rockers is what keeps the center of the truck stable.

Yes especially to have good torsion box’s when your off riding with the top off.

bobshotrodblazer · 09-03-2018, 07:51 PM

Added transfer case skid plate
Got it from a 86 k10

Hence the name torsion box. Duh. Thank you.

So I just started this floor/rocker rebuild. Another thread said to get everything else done and do the boxes last. Dont I need to have them at the same time I do my rockers?
