Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
I always thought a 383 was a .030” over 350 block with a 400 crank that the main journals were turned to fit the block.

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
I won’t swear to it, for all I know GM’s books are wrong, it’s just not likely. Anyway, I broke out the antenna parts I collected many years ago, they’re NOS, and one item is a kit. It’s been a long while, but the kit was missing a mast and? Doesn’t matter. What initially caught my eye today is the box reads “truck and not for tilt wheel”.
I did some research and yeah, there’s the reason why some trucks have fixed masts and others are telescoping. Fixed masts for fixed steering wheels near as I can tell, kind of cool. If I knew that before then I forgot☺ Edit: Forget all that BS about the tilt wheel..........Oooops Now perhaps it gets controversial. I found my 1971 truck with a high crown cap and fixed mast. Word is nope, high crown caps combine with telescoping masts and low crown caps combine with fixed masts for trucks, period. I was going to rebuild it as I found it anyway preferring the fixed high, and besides, the mast I’m using has a twist to it anyway, another story. So I did a little more research on the kit I have. In a nutshell, if a low crown cap is for a fixed mast, then why does this old kit for truck take a high crown nut? Could be replacements or something like, but for what worth GM shows kit 986816 under Parts History Catalog P&A 30H January 1973 as: “use 994221, 05/72” I might be beating a dead horse☺ See pics.

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
It's those trucks where the entire cab is hinged at the front and tilts forward to access the engine that's sitting under the cab floor

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
We have a small dry erase board on our fridge. Easy to use note pad, the pen and the eraser have magnets on them so I seldom (heh) misplace them.
I went to write something down the other day and had been using a sharpie for something else and just started to write on the notepad with the sharpie ... oops! Was just talking to my honey and told her my screw up (surprised she didnt notice it) and told her I would try and find something to take it off ... alcohol maybe? She said no problem. Took the dry erase pen and traced over the sharpie. I lol her, you know that doesnt make it better right? She then grabbed the dry erase eraser and proceeded to clean off her tracings ... It took off the tracing and sharpie, no scrubbing. Clean whiteboard.

I wonder why GM installed fixed masts on some trucks and telescoping on others?

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
Huh, really? And I thought "sup" was short for "what's up?"
I don't think I ever knew that. How sweet? I wonder if they talked that way at home and what their kids' voices sounded like. I wonder if he ever slipped up and called her Minnie

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
This has to do with your camper that has a Awning .. if for some reason your Awning will not go out or retract and you have no crank handle or ??? ,,what ever the heck ones has to make it work ,,, Then take a small guage 2 lead wire that will reach from your battery of the Camper to the power leads at the Awning and touch one wire to the poss and the other to the neg side ,,one way you touch them both to the wires of the awning will make the awning either retract or make it go the other way up ,, reverse these wire and it does the opposite.... If you do not have a wire ,,I'm betting with good odds that some guy has everything in the camper world of goodies that has a chunk of wire just like you need,,

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
To that I’ll add. Way back in the days of old when you saw a Fire Hydrant with a green top it meant there was a Cistern in the ally

Re: Share your little know fact ..Here is mine
I recently learned that purple paint blazes on a piece of land meant no trespassing in "some states". Might be common knowledge to those living in that state but they don't do that in any of the many states local to me. I'm sure glad to know that in case I travel to one of those purple states.
