    700R4 Information Thread

    Just looked that up. That should work. Thank you. Also, do you have a good source for a stock lockup converter to put behind my 6.2 diesel? Thank you. There are few local shops here all with questionable knowledge about older stuff. Thank you Ben

    700R4 Information Thread

    Do you have a source for the governor? I’ve done searches online and it always gets off track to billet converters for duramax etc etc. Ben

    700R4 Information Thread

    Can you guys tell me what the differences between a gas job 700 and diesel 700 are? I’m going to put a 6.2 diesel in front of one of my known good running 700’s that was behind a 350. I know the converter will be different. But are the governor weights different to lower shift points? Part...

    Cab swap years and also cab removal.

    The truck I’m building is a 76. Cab is a mid 80’s cucv cab. Both 4wd. Both automatic. Cucv cab is just a shell so all of my interior wiring etc is going in that cab. Front end is staying all 76. The more I look at the two, the more it looks like direct bolt on no issues. Ben

    Cab swap years and also cab removal.

    Thank you very much. Sounds along the lines of what I was thinking. I’m hoping to start prepping the cab once weather gets a little warmer in March or so. Ben

    Cab swap years and also cab removal.

    Ok, can anyone tell me for certain any issues with mounting an 81-87 cab on a 76 truck with 76 nose please. I’m not talking about things like the 76 doors take the smaller door panel, the 80’s cab has wiper switch on the turn stalk. I just want to know that the round eye nose will bolt on and...

    What is you headlight setup

    Everything is controlled like factory. I just use the factory wiring under the hood to turn on my relays instead of the actual light bulb and the relays turn on the light bulbs. I’m a professional technician so I wasn’t about to pay for a relay kit that I can wire and fit to my liking but any...

    What is you headlight setup

    I daily drive my squares and leave for work at 2a.m. So driving in the dark every day. I was looking into aftermarket lights, H4 halogens leds etc etc. I made my own relay harness to pull power directly from the battery and man, my factory style sealed beams are plenty bright. Night and day (pun...

    What is minimum vacuum needed at idle to run vacuum booster brake set up

    My 350 with a cam has 15 at idle in neutral and 12 in gear. No problems with vacuum and assist braking. Been running this truck 15 years that way. No reservoir just stock set up. You’ll be fine. Ben

    6.7 Cummins Suburban Build

    There is no way you are going to get the sensors, just plug them in and the ecm will be happy and run fine. You either need the WHOLE aftertreatment system, or nothing at all and tune the ecm. No in between. You should have pulled all the egr plumbing off the motor before installing it. It’s...

    Is this a good deal?

    Up in the rust belt, I’d gladly spend that money if it truly meant no body work needed. Paint I don’t care. That’ll polish up nice with natural weathering of 36 years. Interior needs to be decent though. And rear a/c needs to be at least complete. Can’t get any parts for rear a/c except the...

    Exhaust manifold question

    Looks like the piece that’s missing on the old manifold compared to what’s on the new one is stuck in the Y-pipe.

    Have a 76 c10, want electronic oil pressure gauge

    Any specific reason to change? Mechanical gauge is better. Ben

    Truck @ The Garage Anxiety

    Why would you send it in for an oil change and fuel filter when you can do other harder things to it? Go get it, take it home and do it yourself. Problem solved. Ben
