Corbin, truck looks great!
Say, what ended up happening to that regular cab Silvy that you drove when you helped me out?

Meguires you can get at the auto parts store. That spray you use to run the bar on is also a great detailing spray after you wash it. Good clean microfiber and that spray will take all the water spots off and leave no streaks (dont spray the stuff on heavy and don't soak the rag). When I lived in snow country, I use one bar for the rockers, one for the rest of the body. Down here I don't get much crap in the paint so I use one bar the whole way round and it don't pull much out.
What's the best way to clean all the years of silicone and dressings out of the plastic?
Set them out in the hot summer sun all day and use paint thinner. You need to "sweat them" to get the majority out.
I forget what I used on my lower valance years ago, some type of alcohol I wiped it down with before I painted it
Had to been atleast 6 years ago I painted it, still looked good until the crash in Dec
Thanks guys. I love driving this thing. I took it on about a 100 mile round trip to dinner tonight.. it did flawless. This converter is awesome for back windy two lane roads.
Got in the throttle a little on the way down to pass a truck and it broke the tires loose at like 50-55. Then again pulling out of a place. Safe to say she needs some cal tracs!!
I want to click it in 4hi and let it eat but I figure I need to hold off a couple days before I try to spaghetti the rods.
The 480 is much quieter than I expected, however I've not really got to run it hard yet to get er singing. That cast 8? blade race cover isn't very loud. It'll be getting a 5 blade one day.
It pulls crazy hard and is instant power to the tires. Pull out, let it roll into 2nd and half throttle kills the tires pretty easy.

Awesome corbin, the old 500k lly is still rolling. Brother in law lifted it back to stock and added the second battery back that's about it.
the 80's have always been really quiet (stock wheel). my 75 was loud as hell when i towed and was box stock (too loud with the windows down). the 83 i run now is perfect for me. quiet when running around town, little whistle when towing and really lets you know its there when you get in it!
You'd get a lot less whistle out of the race cover than you do with the standard .63 cover
You can take out that inlet bell to give it some more air
it's held in with 3 pins, punch those out & the bell shouldn't be that hard to get out being a new turbo
I'll probably leave it in. It's plenty loud. Just not what I was expecting after being around cast 475s in twin set ups.
It's a big difference in sound by swapping a race cover on a 75, cuts the whistle in half & spooled it a little slower
I'm thinking of putting it back on now that I'm going to be commuting back & forth to South Jersey for half of the year. I don't want it being that obnoxious for 6-8hrs each way
With the 6 blade billet wheel, 1.10 housing & SACs its extremely responsive
What size wheel is in the IHI? Stay with stock size or went with a 63.5
