After a hub stud upgrade went horribly bad I now am in need of a rear hub for an 80. If you have one or know someone who does let me know. Rob 601-665-8588
Was going with 7/16 aircraft grade Allen bolts. The drill press I was using was apparently bent. My 3/8 hole turned into near about 7/16 therefore I was not able cut threads. So I tried one size down to try to account for the slight bend. No go. Needless to say I now have a hub with one 7/16 hole, an almost 3/8 hole that turned out to be crooked and was impossible to tap and 4 5/16ish holes. In hopes of keeping my sanity I will just be upgraded the hub studs like I did on the front before the crawl. After the crawl I will save my pennies and buy another drill press and keep it under lock and key. How in the hell you manage to bend a 3/4" shaft in a drill press is beyond me.

Any 80 owners in here with a bad electric seat cap/gear? Holla at a brotha.
I used one cap from the Gamiviti set, but have since sold the truck.

Thanks to dnp I'm back on the road. Boss man I will buy the one from you at the crawl to replace David's.
I'm interested in these parts. Cant PM you, for some reason. Please PM me price/details. thanks!
Agreed...but good thing those Jerry cans are on there... It'd be awful to get stranded on Poplar without water or fuel 
Don't think I've ever seen that one.
Had to use the ol 80 to jump a tractor with a dead battery. Running the engine at a high idle to charge the dead rig a bit, I was reminded of a scene from Days of Thunder when I saw water drip, drip, dripping from one of the heater hose pipe! This is not the answer I was looking for from you right before the Opine trip...
Hope to hell it's just a hose and not the heater core but that's not the way my luck usually runs.

If it's the core, it would probably be dripping inside the truck, right? :fingerscrossed:
Probably. Only worry is that for the last few months I have been catching a faint whiff of coolant every once in a while. No noticeable coolant loss and couldn't find any kind of leak until I spotted this today. No worries, if its a hose I'll fix it and if its the core I'll bypass it for now. I need this time away!
