700R4 Information Thread
Compared to the 350 of the same year the 305 was only 5hp less. Down on torque but at least it had a high compression ratio for the time. The dual exhaust and tall air cleaner maybe freed up a few hp. I’m just happy it runs decent. I’d like to put a 96-98 L31 vortec 350 in it someday or maybe...- TDoc

700R4 Information Thread
I hooked up these vacuum switches to manifold vacuum. I believe one or both control the lockup. They were disconnected when I bought the k5.- TDoc

700R4 Information Thread
I checked those bolts and they are tight. I loosened the two in the video, and put some sealer around the washers as it looked like they were leaking. They tightened up just fine. I’ll have to drop the inspection cover again and see if it’s still leaking. If so, I’ll try some ultra grey RTV as...- TDoc

86 K5 700R4 3:73 gears. Did a driveway complete trans flush 2k miles ago with maxlife dex full synthetic. Shifts great! Fluid was very dark when I got the blazer. Put 2k miles on it and dropped pan.

Container based shop: 2 post lift placement advice?
I’ve seen a pic of a GMT400 88-98 fits but squares are a bit wider. At least I know it would fit but not getting out of a door. Back window exit only. -
Container based shop: 2 post lift placement advice?
Will a squarebody fit in a shipping container? Anyone have experience? Can I get out the truck door or is it so tight you have to crawl out the back window? @gut_wrench_garage Looking to store my K10 and K5 in a 40ft container. -
Has anyone done an L31 Vortec swap?

Front center seat, center console upgrade, 3rd seat, 6th seat, jump seat
Yes the driver and passenger are factory seats. These are the skinny lower trim seats. Higher trims got the wider seats. Guessing the bases were different on the m1009? -
K5 K10 17x8 or 17x9 vision Cheyenne Aluminum rally wheels?
lol! Thanks! Vehicles always look better in pictures but it’s pretty good for being almost 40 years old. I’m a wheel tire guy too, I like the stock wheels and refurbish them as good as I can vs aftermarket, but the 17” aluminum rally I couldn’t pass up vs the 15” steels that are hard to find...- TDoc
