    SM465 getting hot?

    Hey GM Squarebody, The past week or so while driving my truck I feel a lot of heat coming off of the transmission boot and shifter of my 87 V20. I have a small trans fluid leak so I thought it was low so I put around a quart in until it was full. However, even after filling it up its still...

    Adding a Second Tank to an Original Dual Tank Truck

    Okay thanks for the info. I'll order an 87 tank. Should I order news straps while I'm at it as well? Do they tend to snap when removing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Adding a Second Tank to an Original Dual Tank Truck

    Okay. So even the 85 tanks won't work?? How are they different than the 87? Because of the sending unit/internal pump on the 87 is the sending unit hole different on the 85 tank vs the 87?

    Adding a Second Tank to an Original Dual Tank Truck

    Thanks for the info. Would you know where to find like a full diagram of the dual tank system? And could I use the sending units that are currently in the tanks on the parts truck even though its an 85 so its carburetor? And where exactly are the charcoal canisters? The side of the tanks?

    Adding a Second Tank to an Original Dual Tank Truck

    Hey GM Squarebody, I'm looking to add a second tank to my truck. It originally was a dual tank truck but the old drivers side tank rusted out so the previous owner just took it out. Now my passenger tank is leaking so I figured I'd replace both tanks so I can have two again. I found a dual...

    Dually bed to srw?

    Hey gm squarebody, my trucks bed is pretty rusted out. All I can find on CL is a rust free dually bed. Could I pull the fenders off and repaint it? How many holes do the fenders leave in the body? Any chance someone has a pic of a dually bed with the fender off? Thanks

    New Starter Clicking

    Okay. I'll probably just go get a better quality starter. I had the battery tested at walmart a month ago so I think its good. But I'll double check.

    Driveshaft problems…

    Hey gm squarebody, I messed up replacing a seized carrier bearing on my driveshaft. Its an 87 k20 with a 1 ton driveshaft for some reason. So I dropped the 2 piece shaft off at a shop figuring they could replace it for around $100. Today the guy called and he says they also need to weld in a...

    Replacing Carrier Bearing?

    A few weeks ago I had my k20's rear carrier bearing support snap from what I assumed was a seized bearing. I got the replacement part and discovered someone put a one ton driveshaft in my truck sometime in the past. This was probably because it was 2wd, but someone converted it to a 4x4 with a...

    NV4500 swap?

    Get Gm squarebody, I was wondering how difficult it would be to swap a nv4500 into my 87 k20 with a 454tbi? I currently have a sm465. Would I be able to reuse my current clutch pedal and hydraulic booster? I found a nv4500 on CL from a 94 k3500. Would the bellhousing bolt straight up?
