    Modern brake controller?

    I am mostly likely going to use my 85 K20 over the winter and pulling a trailer w/Skidsteer and would like to set it up with a decent brake controller. I am just looking for opinions and first had experience with them on these old trucks.

    Factory Ram Horn Manifold?

    Hey did the "Ram-Horn" style manifolds come stock on some trucks? If so was there any rhyme or reason to which trucks got them and what years?
