Re: 72 k20

That’s good to know Ryan, I’ve got at least 3-400 lbs of clean aluminum, mostly pistons, at work that I’ve been hoarding up till the prices go up some. 2 years ago when I last took a load I think I got 30c a pound for it... pretty piss poor. I’ve also got 40-50 lbs of brass that I’ve been sitting on too.

Yesterday I finally got around to installing the new hvac ducts in my truck. I’m amazed all the electrical stuff still worked when I started it back up. Some of those hoses are a tight fit with wiring close by. I did have a couple casualties though, both defrost vents practically disintegrated when attempting to put the ducts on them. I was as careful as I could be. I’ll probably just round some new ones up and see about painting them olive. All in all the heater runs you out of the truck now so I guess it’s a job well done.

When I was young I remember my dads 71 K10 always had marginal heat, he would have to run cardboard in front of the radiator in the winter time to get marginal heat at best. I’m not sure if he was running a cool thermostat or what but I definitely don’t have that problem.
