We use lead balls for figuring out shim packs for final drive preload on john deere tractors. If you have a deere dealer close I could find a part number for you.
Beautiful CUCV! My ill advised way of getting old diesels started is taking a cloth rag and putting some gas on it and holding it over the intake with the air cleaner off. Much more efficient then ether bunny
Started doing my ORD 2 inch shackle flip on the CUCV to get rid of the lift blocks last night passenger side went well got the driver side apart and found the main leaf broke.
Finally found a set of 31x10.5x15's and even came with a decent set of rims, we'll see how the paint holds up but they were $600 and the tires are pretty much new. Got them installed today along with the new tail light lenses
Welcome!
The parts required depend on how your Fuel system is set up, most common is to use the 87 Fuel tank and run an ls Fuel pump in the tank. Beings as yours is an 87 I'd assume they reused the factory tank. In my opinion for the pumps and tank selector if there is no issue with it I would...
Got tail lights, bumper and bed pulled off the CUCV and got the service bed pulled around to start taking measurements for making the mounts and possibly relocating fuel tank to a blazer tank.
The price changes wildly on it for some reason, when I first found it they had it listed at 600 and it randomly went on sale for 499 and I slowly went up after that. I set a notification for if it dropped under 500. They had 2 left when I ordered it at 425.
I've been watching this gearwrench 209 piece socket set for a long time and they dropped it to $425 for a day, so I ordered it. Now all of my miscellaneous socket sets can come home with me and these will be my new work sockets

Pulled the rest of the decent parts off the C30 and brought it in for scrap. Then used the funds to buy bucket seats from a 2014 ram and a center console from a 2013 silverado to replace the bench in the suburban.
Got the plow mount pulled off and the CUCV bumper and guard back on, need to fix an exhaust leak and get the bed pulled to make way for the service bed that will take its place.
