Without a doubt, full-size pickup trucks are getting higher and higher. With increased load capacities, factory-installed off-road packages and taller wheels becoming standard issue equipment, it's no wonder the average pickup truck leaves us feeling shorter than ever. What's even worse, is when you opt out of the dealer's aftermarket "style" package, either for the sake of cost or aesthetics, you're often left with a tall truck sans running boards or truck steps.

And, how about those lifted truck enthusiasts among us. No other truck fan understands the importance of getting a leg up into their cab like someone driving a four-wheel drive F-350 with a 12-inch suspension lift, a 6-inch body lift and 46" monster meats. A rig like this almost needs to have a rope ladder roll out of the cab like a coast guard rescue helicopter.

So, if the dealer "shorted" you on factory running boards, or you opted for shocks and ladder bars instead of steps and nerf bars, what's an earth-bound truck-oholic to do? Hit up the aftermarket, that's what. There are more side step and nerf bar manufacturers out there that you can shake a 3" stainless steel tube at. The only problem you may encounter, in fact, is the stifling, and often paralyzing paradox of choice. So, out the goodness of my heart, here's a quick guide to choosing the right steps for your rig.

If you captain a full-size SUV like a Suburban, Navigator or Durango, cab-length running boards look the best on your ride. This is going to most closely resemble anything the factory would have installed, plus you get a lift up at all 4 doors.

For mid and full-size trucks, nerf bars add a rugged, industrial look to your rig while still providing a sturdy leg up. Lending more of an off-road style than boards do, nerf bars are the way to go when you want to add an aggressive edge to your truck.

On full-size work pickups and utility rigs, wheel-to-wheel nerf bars are the way to go. They often include a section that runs all the way to the front of the rear wheel, and that extra length comes in handy when you need quick access to your truck's bed.

As noted before, the list of side-step types and styles are as plentiful as fleas on a flea-bitten hound dog, so this was just a brief primer to "step" you up to speed. For further info on the subject, do a quick web search where you'll find no shortage of suppliers just looking to give you a leg up.

Real Estate Copywriting: the Lighter Side

(WILL and GRACE are eating lunch, while reading the apartment ads.)

WILL: $2,900 for a loft in Noho. $2,300 for a loft in Soho.

GRACE: It's too much to pay for any... 'ho.

WILL: Ok, here: "Charming one bedroom, Chelsea adjacent, well-maintained, $1,500." Sounds great.

GRACE: Ok, let me decode: "Charming"? Tiny. "Chelsea adjacent"? New Jersey. "Well-maintained"? Super washes blood off sidewalk daily.

What does the public really think we mean when we write our advertisements?

Very quiet interior: You can barely hear the freeway with the windows shut.

Convenient to shopping: Next to a strip mall.

Convenient to freeway: Next to the onramp.

2+ bedrooms: The room in the basement isn't a legal bedroom but, well, you know.

Seller has left you to your own imagination: Hasn't been updated since 1940.

Great bones: You'll need to tear it down to the studs.

Build some sweat equity: See "great bones."

Charming: Small.

Cozy: Tiny.

Cute: Small and fussy.

Dollhouse, adorable: Nauseatingly cute.

Turnkey: Just overhauled, complete with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances.

Unique: Remodeled by someone on acid.

Handyman special: Bring boots.

Walk to Fremont: Fremont's 20 blocks away.

Motivated seller: They need to sell before they default on their mortgage.

Dirty, ugly, smelly: Dirty, ugly, smelly.

And Barbara Corcoran has her say here about the most misleading words in real estate (and what they really mean)

1. Cozy (too small)

2. Charming (too old)

3. Original condition (appliances are 50 years old)

4. Needs TLC (it’s a dump)

5. Conveniently located (noisy)

6. Desirable neighborhood (this little house has been way overpriced because the neighborhood has some snob appeal)

7. Efficient kitchen (too small to fit two adults)

8. One-car garage (you can drive your Chevy in, but can’t get out)

9. Peek at the park/river/mountains (if you angle your mirror just so)

10. Useable land (no trees)

11. Beachfront steal (no hurricane insurance available at any price)

12. Country living (too far from anywhere to drive to work)

13. Must see inside (outside is ugly)

14. Unique (hard to sell)

15. Just available (previous owner just died on the premises, hope you don’t mind)

Broken bolt on my water pump attached to engine block (70 Chevy pick up)?

Hey guys, I'm working on a 70 Chevy pick up truck and something bad happened. I broke a bolt off that connects the water pump onto the engine block. This sucker is in, and I cant figure out how I'm going to get it out. Do you have any recommendations on how I could go about getting it out? I have tried to drill it out to no avail. Its a stainless steel bolt if that helps narrow your suggestions down. Thanks in advanced guys or gals for you help.
I sat there for 2 hours attempting to drill the bolt, and barley put a dent into the bolt and I have a very high power drill.

Well you were right with drilling it out, you would want to do this as much as possible, then there is a tool that you can use that you stick into the drilled out whole and you spin the remaining bolt out... then you may want to retap the whole to make sure there isnt debris inside
