Adding AC after ls swap
I wish I could take credit for the list but another gentleman put that together, I don't know what he ended up putting it at. I took mine to Napa to get them to crimp the fittings on the suction line so I could clock them however I needed to. Not sure if you have one local to you but they didn't...- consti2tion

6.0 swap
If your 6.0 has a return line on the fuel rail it's easy enough to just run a new feed line from the tank and use the original(carburetor) feed line for your return back to the tank. You can use the 87 TBI saddle tanks, they are baffled. I haven't messed with the dual tank stuff so I can't help...- consti2tion

TBI to Terminator throttle cable
I used the factory throttle cable on my 86 C20 Suburban with a 454 when I had the Holley Sniper on it. Should be fine for the Terminator as well. (I've since swapped it to a 6.0/4L80E, 454 and Sniper going into my 72 C10.)- consti2tion

Rebuilding Front Suspension
They own the rights to the lowers for C10's, but the C20 and C30 LCA's are abundantly made by multiple sources. @ByrdDog how does the quality of the control arms seem? You know how reviews go so it would be nice to get a first hand enthusiast's opinion on them. Putting together the parts to...- consti2tion

Fuel tank to Gauge wiring
These were for a 1981. The color on my 1986 was a pink wire. But there are multiple pink wires on the on the cluster, pink with a black stripe I believe was 12v to the instrument cluster.- consti2tion

Fuel tank to Gauge wiring
Found these on another forum. Looks like you're looking for a Tan wire with a White stripe. The harness comes out of the bulkhead connector and runs down the drivers side frame rail with your tail light harness.- consti2tion

About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures
It is satisfying doing your exhaust system! I did it on both of mine and it was a beating without a lift but rewarding when you hear it.- consti2tion

About to ruin one of the nicest C3500's with an Ls.. Pictures
I used a combo of the stock AC lines from the Square and the stock lines from the donor (2001 Suburban 2500) on my 86 Suburban, I also used the stock LS low mount compressor. I had hoses made up by coldhose.com for my aunt's 86 C10 LS swap. Coldhose sells adapters for the Denso compressors so...- consti2tion

A/C Compressor Wiring
That distribution block needs 12v going to it. When you move the climate control to any of the AC settings it should energize a green wire going to the low pressure cut off switch on the accumulator. Just to test and see if you get 12v out of one of the green wires in your second picture you can...- consti2tion

Adding AC after ls swap
I've done 2 LS swaps now, one on an 86 C10 and the other on my 86 C20 Suburban. On the C10 I used a new factory Denso/GM compressor https://a.co/d/aTxtnen part number 15-21177, on the suburban I used the GM Genuine Parts 15-21127 which is a larger capacity compressor from a 2001 Suburban. Now...- consti2tion

Rear AC Blower Motor/Fan
Good to know that AutoZone actually had a rear blower motor in stock! It's amazing how fast you get taking the rear ac apart when you've done it a few times. Causes neck pain after awhile :Stupid Me:- consti2tion

Questions about aftermarket kits
Seeing that you're in DFW, you might contact Old Air Products, they're "local" to us in DFW, being in Fort Worth. The employees I met at Good Guy's seemed like nice enough people. I don't have any experience with their products. How did the PO do the install? Did they use factory parts or...- consti2tion
