View on AmazonDJI Mic Mini Wireless Lavalier (2TX+1RX)
Crystal clear audio for all our field recordings and voiceovers.
View on Amazon🚗 Truck Stereo
Android Auto/CarPlay Stereo, 2007–2012 Silverado/Sierra (4G+64G)
Exact stereo we installed on the GMC 2500HD Utah road trip build.
View on Amazon🔧 LS Engine Build: 2009 GMC 2500HD
Parts used on the 2500HD's LS engine rebuild. (The K5 Blazer is a separate 454 BBC + 700R4 build, not an LS swap.)
King Engine Bearings MB5293SI Main Bearing Set
Main bearings we ran on the LS build. King's a name that keeps coming up in engine circles for a reason.
View on Amazon🚕 1964 Rambler Classic 770 Build
Parts we've put on the 232-powered Rambler project. Driver-first choices, real receipts.
GM-Style Brass Combination Valve (PV2 172-1353 / PV71)
Disc front / drum rear combination valve — metering, proportioning, and warning switch in one brass body. We went with this in place of an inline adjustable valve; it's the proper OEM-style solution for a disc/drum conversion.
View on AmazonMILLISEC Air Helper Spring Bags (60818HD)
Sized for 2009–2024 Ram 1500, up to 2,100 lbs of load leveling. We adapted these into the Rambler's tired 60-year-old rear coils to cure the sag and dial-in ride height once the car is loaded.
View on AmazonAir Line Union Tee, 1/4" (RETRUE 21838)
The T-fitting that splits one air line to both helper bags. Small part, but the air spring kit isn't going on the car without it.
View on AmazonBrake Line Kit — Full Rear Rebuild
What we used to run new hard lines to the rear during the brake rebuild. Clean fitments, the right bends — turned a knuckle-busting afternoon into a "why didn't we have this sooner" job.
View on AmazonBrake Line Flaring Tool Kit, 45° Single/Double (SEEKSELF)
What actually bends and flares the hard line once you've cut it to length. Doing a full brake rebuild without one of these is how a weekend job becomes a month.
View on AmazonBrake Line Fittings, 3/16" (12-pack, 3/8-24 brass)
The unions and fittings that go with the hard line. Buy more than you think you need — you will bend a flare wrong at least once.
View on AmazonBrake Booster Vacuum Pump
An old six doesn't always pull enough vacuum to feed a booster once the cam and carb change. This is the fix when the pedal feels hard for no obvious reason.
View on AmazonWeber 38/38 DGAS 2-Barrel Carburetor
The carb side of waking the 232 back up. A well-documented swap on old inline sixes, with parts and jets you can actually still buy.
View on AmazonHEI Complete Distributor + Spark Plug Wires
The ignition half of the same job. One unit replaces points and the external coil, which is one less 60-year-old thing to troubleshoot on the side of the road.
View on AmazonElectric Fuel Pump Assembly (AMC L6)
Listed for the AMC inline six. Feeding the new carb reliably beats nursing a tired mechanical pump.
View on Amazon52mm Triple Gauge Set — Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Amps
Three gauges that tell you the engine is unhappy before it's terminal. On a car this old with this many new parts on it, we'd rather watch the numbers than trust them.
View on AmazonWater Temp Sensor Adapter, 18mm Hose Joint
The inline adapter that gives the temp gauge somewhere to read from when the block has no port where you need one.
View on AmazonCoolant Overflow Catch Tank, 800ml Aluminum
Catches what the radiator pushes out instead of leaving it on the ground. Cheap insurance on a cooling system you're still dialing in.
View on AmazonMotoRad T208 Racing Radiator Cap
Higher-pressure cap to raise the coolant boiling point. Part of sorting the cooling system before asking the old six to work hard.
