    Keep seeing people refer to vortex heads. Do they really flow better than the factory vortec versions?

    Trying to Identify this bumper.

    Picked this bumper up a while back, and I would like to find out if it's a factory piece or a repop. Haven't really thought about selling it, but if it came up, I'd like to have an idea of how much to ask. The story I got when I bought it, was that it had never been installed. There aren't any...

    Stepside fenders

    I'm kinda thinking out loud here (so to speak) so please bear with me. Does anyone know if the stepside fenders are symmetrical form front to rear? Say you wanted to change from sidesaddle tanks to a 31 gallon burb tank in the rear. Could you for instance, take a passenger side step fender with...

    Dana 60/14 bolt FF

    Time to make some more space in the garage. Selling the extra D60/14b set of axles that I have collected. These are a matched set from what I was told was a 1979 K35. Was told that these are low mileage from a former FD brushfire truck that was wrecked. 4.10 gearsets, with a Gov-Loc in the rear...

    Location of the glow plug control card on a CUCV

    I know a few of you guys have the m1008 CUCV trucks. Hopefully, someone can get a pic of where the GP control card is supposed to be mounted. I'm trying to put mine back together, after a PO converted the plugs to run off of a push button. They left the temp switch, and relay in my truck, but...

    Drilling through chrome

    So, I've decided that I would like to keep the tow shackles on #4. However, I want chrome bumpers too. I figure this leaves me with 2 options. Option 1) find a new set of CUCV bumpers and have them chromed. (while the ones on the truck are far from mangled, they've been used enough as bumpers...

    Axle advice needed

    I have the opportunity to pick up a dana 70 for cheap. I need to know the differences between it and the 14 bolt ff varients. My truck will have a 1 ton frame and single rear wheels. Is there any combination of hub hardware that will result in a track width that's a usable match for a srw 4wd...

    So I picked up this set of wheels last night.

    Picked these up last night. Drove 2.5 hrs each way for them. At the moment, I'm not sure what I'll do with them. Turns out they're 10" wide, couldn't tell from the original ad, but I grabbed them anyway, as they're getting harder to find. Haven't had a chance to scrub them down and clean...

    How to identify what series frame I'm looking at?

    If there's already a thread on this that someone knows about please post the link. Otherwise, I may be going to look at a frame this weekend and need to know how to identify if it's from a 1/2, 3/4, or 1 ton. The pic on c-list shows it sitting on 8 lug axles, and an aluminum t-case hanging off...

    fluid transfer pumps

    So, the other night after work, I'm laying under one of the trucks refilling the rear diff. I was using the same suction gun that I used when I worked at a dealership, but being as I no longer had a hoist to work from the different position trying to refill the diff was kind of a pain in my...

    C to K conversion

    Just out of curiosity, what would I be looking at to convert a C20 frame to a K20 frame? The frame on my '87 K20 is pretty heavily scaled with rust, and I just found a '77 C20 frame that's a Lot cleaner. Outside of welding on the Leaf spring mounts what else would I be getting into?

    88 silverado fuel gauge

    So for the last week or so, the fuel gauge has been acting kinda weird. When you first start the truck the gauge will only got to about 1/4 tank. After driving it for a while it will go up to the correct reading, and function normally for the duration of the drive. It does this consistently...

    I need some tips and tricks for getting a trans pan gasket to seal

    Ok, in the last decade and a half that I've owned only manual transmission vehicles, I seem to have lost my touch for getting a transmission pan to seal. I recently picked up an '88 silverado with a 700r4 trans. The truck had been parked for several years after the trans had been rebuilt...

    700R4 operational question

    I recently picked up an '88 K1500 to drive while I restore my '87 V20. Aside from the '87 (which I haven't driven much do to condtion) this '88 is the first automatic I've owned in about 15 years. Also the first overdrive with a V8 in front of it. My question is this, if I'm traveling at 55-60...

    identifying a GM factory door.

    I'm going to check out a new door shell tomorrow. It's advertised as new oem. Are there any stamping marks to verify this? I work in a GM stamping plant currently, and I know we put the GM logo on all the inner metal. Did they do this when these trucks were built? If so, about where are the...

    advice on vent windows needed

    Ok. I was at my local salvage yard today and spotted a set of vent windows in a suburban, a couple years newer than my truck. The frames appear to be in pretty good shape. However some mouth breather was nice enough to break the glass in both of them. My question is this. Is it worth it to pull...

    Cleaning/Resealing used gas tanks

    So, I've got 2 used tanks for my '87 project. Both are in decent shape, but have been sitting for a while before I got them. I know 1 for sure has some light surface rust. I've just started looking around for products to clean/treat the rust, and reseal the inside. So far I've found kits by KBS...

    need advice on np205's

    So, the other week I was able to score a sm465 complete with pedals, master/slave cylinders, bellhousing and steering column, out of an 89 1 ton 2 wheel drive. I know I'll need to convert the output shaft. My question is this. Is there any advantage to using the late model round pattern 205 with...
