    1985 C10 shock recommendations

    Can you recommend shock absorbers for a normal ride height C10 1985 longbed? I'm after comfortable ride over speed bumps and bigger jolts. Right now there seems to be very little if any rebound absorption specially at the rear. My shocks are worn for sure but looking at the old Chevy commercials...

    Softer suspension with longer travel (not a prerunner, but that style)

    Hi, I've got a 1985 C10 longbed that's rolling on 31x10.5x15 all terrain tires and GM original optional 8x15 "styled sport" wheels. It's got stock suspension which up front is ok but specially rear is bouncy and stiff. I do not carry heavy loads. I'm a big fan of prerunner trucks, those off-road...

    Fender emblems without drilling holes?

    I was thinking about reinstalling the emblems but I would not like to drill the holes if that's avoidable. How is the emblem, is there good surface on the backside for adhesive material? Any experience on this?

    '85 C10 Silverado stock wheel size

    Hi, I have read many people refer 8x15 as the stock wheel size. This table seems to show 6 inch width as the stock wheel. https://www.wheel-size.com/size/chevrolet/c10/1985/ The rally wheels of my truck are 6.5x15 and I have wondered if they are the originals?

    Outline white letter tires

    When did they come? Just wondering are they "period correct" for a mid-late 80's truck? I remember the white letters from my teen years but outline style I do not remeber.

    Wheel spacers or adapters w. 6.5x15 rally wheels & stock ride height?

    Hi, My '85 longbed is currently on 255/60r15 front, 275/60r15 rear tires on stock 6.5" in wheels. The plan is to get 255/70R15 white letter Cooper Cobras all around to gain some tire height and visual mass. I've also played with the idea of widening the rear track a bit and maybe just a little...

    Hi, I have an '85 longbed 2wd that has a well built 305 with the basic upgrades (Edelbrock 500 carb, performer intake, performer plus cam, HEI and 1.5in long headers). Being adjusted in a hub dyno it pulled 190hp/4600 and 250ftlbs/3100 (at the hubs). The engine also has low mileage and...

    TH350 -> TH700-r4 swap crossmember repositioning?

    Hi, How is the length difference and crossmember reposition in inches? Among other things I'm trying to figure out if my exhaust can remain the same after repositioning the crossmember? Images attached.

    Indoors (dust) cover for a longbed c10

    Hi, Sadly in couple of months its time to park the truck for a couple of winter months to save it from the de-icing salt on the roads. I figured I could get a cheap breathable cover to keep the public garage dust away. So far I found the one behind the link, I guess it should fit good enough...

    Power estimate, mildly modded 305?

    Hi, I'm new here, cool info everywhere, thanks! I just installed 1,5in longtube Flowtech headers to my 1985 305+TH350 Fleetside. The engine is a 305 from a 1986 Caprice. The car has no smog equipment and in addition to long headers there's a free flowing 2 1/4 double exhaust, Edelbrock...
