1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Saw this tonight. Some of y’all know but I’ve got a sweet spot for C10s, especially anything from the 60s… awesome patina and love the stance with those whitewall Cokers

​

 

My truck has a 3.91 LSD rear from the factory. I just found a guy who has a 3.91 (3rd unit/carrier assy) for sale at a good price, apparently after upgrading to a different ratio. I don't really need one (yet) at 240,000 mi, but I'm willing to buy it to have when I need it. Here's the thing...it's from a 2005 DC. Does anyone know if this will fit my truck? The parts system doesn't seem to specify a p/n for the complete carrier assy.

 

I have no clue. You might be able to find a p/n for the ring gear from both and compare that way?

It'd "probably" fit. Most aftermarket companies don't specify what cab style, right?

 

Rockauto specifies body type on rear axleshafts. No DC shafts available to compare, but said the AC/RC is 30 spline.

carrier doesnt specify body type.

 

While in that rabbit hole, it looks like the factory lsd might be rebuildable.



mine has been extra chirpy with the cap on it. Wonder if i should hunt down a rear sway bar...

 

And my 2004 calls for the same (according to Rock Auto), so that's a favorable indication.

 

Anyone running a truck cap use these 'stronger' clamps? They look like they should fit.

 

Mine look like that. Not sure if they are that brand.

 

@LOSTMARBLES what do you recommend?

 

That's what the ones my softopper uses look like

 

mine are longer reach, and the bolts are bent over, ugga duggas, not ready to dig em into the sides of the bedrails.

 

So I went to the beer store to get some yangyangs a second ago. Lady asks me, "so is that a family name?" I'm like wtf? Then I look down.



Yup. I had to explain that. Thanks @BUSTYSLUTS.

 

@bmf4069 Should’ve told her you went to a stripper convention as a club owner and took the name tag from one of the hosts.

 

Mine look just like the ones you posted

 

what kind of masochist wears a hoodie in texas in june? You're a madman. But we appreciate your 'transition'. Of beers. Almost like someone who likes ladybeer drinking manbeer to fit into societies norms.

Wear it to work next fall/winter. You have until then to learn the song & dance.

 

It's been raining non-stop for almost 2 weeks. We've actually been flooding in multiple places. It's gonna be raining all next week too. We haven't even hit 90 this year.

 

Lucky dog.
I've gotta mow in the shade because the sun is a deadly laser.

 

I think CT did today. 90F +/-

 

gotta go wide window!

 

Talk me out of buying plane tickets to New Zealand in March.

Delta is having a sale and using miles it basically ends up being $1000 for 2 tickets from Detroit to Auckland.

 

Who the hell posted the pair of white 1st gen landscape trucks in RC format recently? Someone posted a pic within the last 3 weeks and I'm coming up empty trying to find those. NVM, FOUND IT!!

The fam thought I was nuts for turning around to take a pic but I KNEW I saw someone post RCLB trucks from that damn landscape company recently!! Too bad it was a diff't company.

 

I couldnt find your check engine post earlier. Was gonna tell you to check the fuel filter.

 

It's so hilarious seeing you and that other thread. I can go out on any given day and see plenty of working Tundras like this, softball dad tundras, and actual grandpa trucks.

 

I hear it's never the fuel filter, but I changed it anyway. Works on Fords and Chebbys.

It's such an unusual thing on the Atlantic coast, I dunno. I do see a lot of 1GT work trucks but they're literally every-damn-where here. At every turn. It's boggling my mind. Herds of Toyota everywhere. I can't tell you how unusual that is, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it

 

I also saw these wheels I liked which were the color I kinda wanted, on a J**p. Curious what make/model/color these are.

​

And we barely avoided death today, hiking near boner-infested waters. The youngest kid was being an asshole, and I told him the ticks would get him if he kept acting like that. He freaked out when he actually found two separate ticks on him when we got back into the car after ~4-5 miles around and up thru the trail.

​

 

If you ever bring your truck to get fixed because for some reason you’re unable to do it yourself, it will ALWAYS be the fuel filter and if you don’t believe them, they’ll make you a believer once they break it. I speak from experience.

 

Well fuck guys, one of em got me, hopefully no RMSF is in my future. Found what appears to be an American dog tick latched onto my chin hiding under my beard a couple hours ago. Arrrggg.

​

 

At least it was accessible. I remember coming back from hunting trips and my dad handing me a small mirror saying to drop trow and check under ….uh, this is a family truck forum….my “rear diff” for ticks.

 

Different gen, but this is my ‘73 inline 6 250 3-speed that came with some property my in-laws bought. Literally a barn find as you can see this pic of when I first got it. Summer goal is to get it running enough for a feller to Vice Grip Garage that shit home to really go over her.
