    Sliding rear window gasket?

    That is the seal I tried to rope in on my truck, and I ended up damaging it. The rope gets so tight in the last 90° curve you end up tearing the seal. This wasn't the first seal I have roped in but it was definitely the hardest. I wouldn't recommend it

    2.5 Ton Axles for 1974 K20

    It is wide, but not as bad as you're thinking. Here's mine with 48" Goodyear floatation tires from a fertilizer truck. It was able to run about 45 mph before the shaking got to bad. I used the original drum brakes and never had any trouble stopping it. My problem was always with turning, and the...

    2.5 Ton Axles for 1974 K20

    I agree! I could do a long write up on what it took for me to put 2 1/2 tons under the Juggernaut, but if he's just trolling and not coming back, I'm not going to bother

    Body Lift Question...

    Don't forget to lengthen your ground straps from the frame to the body. They can pull apart and cause all kinds of problems with your lights and gauges. Also, body lifts put a lot of stress on your steering rod rag joint because of the higher angle. I used to keep a spare on my truck for when it...

    Transmission tunnel heat shield

    I found much of the heat was coming from the exhaust headers and pipes. I used DEI exhaust wrap on mine, and it made a very noticeable difference in the temperature inside my cab. Well worth the money

    Steering dampener

    Are you having trouble with bump steer? Have you removed it and checked for resistance in both directions? If it is still hard to pull out, and hard to compress, and you don't have any problems with bump steer, I would just clean it up and keep using it. Mine is the original 1978 that came on...

    OEM cylinder head castings - 1977 K10

    Where are you located? I have a really nice set of 186 double hump GM heads I think would be exactly what you want. They already have the hardened valve seats installed

    Engine oil lines.

    If they are anything like my 78, they will be a lot harder to replace than you would think. The fittings on the cooler are SAE, and the hose is an odd size, 21/32 I think. The original hose is braided and has to be able to take the temperature of the hot oil, and they had to special order it...

    Rear axle seal questions.

    You got me interested. If you go with this seal, let us know how it goes. I've always used National seals and speedy sleeves on any damaged surfaces, but I'm always open for something better.

    Passenger side axle stuck

    Wrong part or really bad quality. I've sworn to never buy Dorman parts ever again due to bad quality

    What new tools have you got lately?

    It's not needed. The pins are not that tight. I threaded a screw into the pin and used a nail puller

    Death wobble, or bad wheel balance?

    A K20 that won't pull a 5th wheel? How big a 5th wheel you got? It should pull it easily

    Tilt Steering Column

    They must have changed it mid year for the 1980. My buddies truck is an early 80 and it has double flange. My old 1979 was definitely a double flange

    1973-1980 Tailgate Trim

    I think I would prefer the narrow band too. My 78 Silverado had the wide band. It was just to much. Took it off in favor of the bare tailgate with the Chevrolet raised letters

    1973-1980 Tailgate Trim

    LOL, I have one just like it, same color. I built mine a little heavier with a 2 ton truck axle and frame for hauling rock
