    Front End Alignment???

    hey thanks a lot man. I now understand the caster measurement and what the numbers are. when I looked at the specs at work it did not specify what to measure so I was clueless lol. now is the decision of changing all control arm bushings to polyurethane as well as all leaf shackle bushings and...

    Front End Alignment???

    I'm trying to make sense of caster chart because there are 11 different measurements from 2 1/2" to 5" called "dimension A". what is this dimension referring to? looks like it is pointing to the coil spring lol

    Front End Alignment???

    what manual is that? Haynes or chiltons? I will check some of the options for the c10 short wheelbase to see if all toe caster, camber, sai, and thrust angle are the same. if so I guess it wont matter then. btw thanks for the pics of specs, wish I had seen the a while ago lol

    1973-1980

    Anyone have fenders from these years they want to sell or trade for later model fenders? I'm also in search of 1973-1976 grille. in the process of older model front clip swap over, thanks

    I need a steering column for a 1986 classic sierra

    might be able to help ya out. I will check and see what I have later or tomorrow. I believe 1984 through 1987 for trucks is a bolt in swap. earlier models from 1978 or 1979 whenever the intermediate shaft went from splined to 2 flats will work but do not have the multifunction switch for wipers...

    stock wheels?

    anyone know which wheel will accept the (dog dish) style hubcaps from 70s-80s era? the kind with the bowtie in the middle that kinda looks like a 5 spoke rim I guess lol. I have a set of 4 on a c20 but I want to put them on my c10. my c10 has the wheel where it will accept the center caps and...

    Edelbrock 1405

    its not pouring out like a diesel exhaust haha, but from both sides its pretty noticeable. when I had the valve covers off adjusting the valves it wasn't all the way warm but I couldn't tell at all

    Edelbrock 1405

    it seems to smooth out at higher rpm before vacuum drops. pretty sure head gasket is not the cause no coolant burning or oil at all and have compression. maybe its the valve guides since I never had ones installed when I had valves dressed on the stock 1997 vortec heads lol. I did adjust valves...
