looking to increase steering power
Crossover steering is a fantastic upgrade and IMHO, pretty much mandatory for anything over 4" lift if the truck is really used offroad. I have the ORD kit on my truck, and it is VERY nice. I bought it for my old truck with a 4" lift, and the difference was night and day. However, it does put...- Positrack

'84-'87 Steering Column Swap into '78 Truck
Good to hear. I've looked up the part and they LOOKED the same except for the lack of washer pump, but I didn't know if they might be different somehow electrically. I agree completely on the remote pump. The stockers are nothing but aggravation both in use and reliability. An electric... -

'84-'87 Steering Column Swap into '78 Truck
Thanks for the responses. Good Lord, why does everything seem to turn into a can of worms...:whymewhyme: I can probably get the wiper motor and linkage from the truck the column came out of, but of course the cowl was changed - will the later linkage work in the earlier cab cowl? Another... -

'84-'87 Steering Column Swap into '78 Truck
I'm swapping an '84-'87 (not sure of year) steering column with tilt, cruise, and intermittent wipers into my '78 K30. I realize there will be some custom wiring necessary to make it work (I'm hoping to get the stock cruise controls hooked up to an aftermarket cruise unit as well), but is there... -

Evaporator Core Differences and Interchangeability?
Does anyone know if the later model ('77-on AFAIK) A/C evaporator core can be installed in the earlier factory A/C boxes? I've got a factory blower/evaporator housing from a '76 K25 that I want to use to convert my '78 K30 to A/C. However, the factory core that came in the '76 housing seems to... -

Factory Cruise Control in a Non-Cruise Truck
Thanks all for the info. I guess I've got some serious parts scrounging to do if I'm going to get this done. I might have to think it over... I did some searching, and I found several aftermarket cruise systems priced at least within the bounds of reason. They look like they'd be a heck of a...- Positrack

Factory Cruise Control in a Non-Cruise Truck
I'm sure somebody's done this at some point, but I searched and didn't find anything. I've got a '78 K30 that I'd like to install cruise in. The truck is a total stripper aside from mechanicals (ex-brushfire truck), and I'm going to be swapping steering columns anyway for tilt. I've got a...- Positrack

Thanks, and I just might, but I've actually found answers to most of my questions just digging through threads. You guys have some great info on this site! The pics and exploded parts schematics 89suburban, chengny, and others posted up in this thread...- Positrack

Sound Deadening in Cab
I'm using Raamat and LizardSkin on mine. I haven't got it back together yet so I can't tell you how well they work, but I did a lot of searching and both have great reviews. The LizardSkin is expensive, but the hotrod folks seem to swear by it, and you can apply it in places you can't easily... -

Another Noob from N. IL
Greetings all! I've been into square bodies and 'wheeling for 15 years or so. I spend most of my forum time on a certain, shall we say, less congenial rock crawling site, and that type of tech is great, but I'm in the process of doing a bare frame restification to my '78 K30 SRW and thought...- Positrack
