1987 GMC R1500 SB Stepper
Well, We're downsizing and one of my squares has to go. Daily driver L03 305, NP A833, 3:08 open diff. A/C blows cold. Tucson truck, I'm the third owner. A good , honest pickup. Had plans for a new wiring harness, as the desert is rough on rubber parts and wiring. New radiator, slave and master...- TIE_Fightertk06

High idle... Sometimes.
Hey everyone... The little red pickup (87 R1500/305/NPA833) is acting odd: Fires right up and idles great at 800 rpm. Warms up, all is good most days. *Sometimes* the idle (clutch in or in neutral) kicks up to 1100 and just stays there. I'm thinking TPS? Before I start trying to remember how...- TIE_Fightertk06

Getting the shaft...
Well, things were going great with both of my squares, progress was being made on refining and upgrading everything, and then the sh!t hit the fan this past weekend...

Opinions on touring enging options...
On the last trip out with my R2500 Suburban, I had some time to think about what's next for that truck. With the 700R4, and the 3.73 rear end sorted, I think next year's big work will be an engine overhaul or replacement. I think by the time I get done with this summer's road trip, I'll be fed...- TIE_Fightertk06

Got wood?
I've done a search, and didn't turn up much, so I'll ask before I start tearing stuff apart: Does anyone have reference dimensions and measurments for shortbed stepside bed wood? Mine is getting pretty well shot in places, and because I'm a cheap bastard and I have the tools, I'm going to...- TIE_Fightertk06

FNG from AZ
Been lurking for a bit, so I thought I'd share my Squares since I just picked up a second one. Both are '87 GMCs New to me, I'm the 3rd owner of the High Sierra short bed. It's only a 305, but its all factory with a New Process A833 from the factory. Boring 3.08 rear end. Just about 240K on...- TIE_Fightertk06
