    Which is correct 1985 k5 blazer transmission crossmember

    I think some guys put the spacer between the support and the frame to help compensate for the rear lift blocks but didn't consider what it did for the front driveshaft. I think mine came from the factory with the spacers above the frame but gm illustrations seem to show the spacers below the...

    NP205 shift rail help!!

    I changed my shift rail seals without removing the rails. I just made sure there were no sharp edges to damage the new seals by applying some thin tape and making sure everything was lubed up.

    Chevy 14 bolt - gov bomb locker???

    That diff appears to be a Full Floater 10 1/2" ring gear because it has the adjusters on both sides.

    Name that hubcap

    I did a Google photo lookup and these 2 are close, but hard to tell. https://scottyshubcaps.com/product/1950s-80s-chevy-10-1-4-diameter-bowtie-dog-dish-poverty-hubcap-one-1/ https://www.cooperrestorations.com/shop/60-66-chevy-gmc-truck/accessories/chevrolet-dog-dish-style-bowtie-center-cap/

    Power steering Pump Bracket

    From the picture, it also looks like the shaft is pointing down as well, so the pully isn't even parallel with the others. Maybe there is a missing spacer between the bracket and the front face of the pump similar to the big blocks?

    Traction aid in the front axle or not?

    In researching a replacement for my failed G80, I’ve been looking closely at Detroit Truetracs for both the front and rear. At the end of the day, on ice it doesn’t really matter whether you’re running an LSD, locker, spool, or open differential. If you’re on ice and spinning tires or carrying...

    power step / board

    While searching for retractable running boards, I came across this from Davis Offroad. They are pretty nice looking but very expensive. https://www.davisoffroad.com/item/product/987674112

    Rebuilding rear axle DIY?

    I haven't tackled my diffs just yet, but seems like I have watched a 1000 videos and read many articles on the topic in preparation. Setup bearings and crush sleeve eliminator, mentioned previously, is great advice. One thing that stuck with me, in the videos, is paying attention to your pinion...

    Sorry for the confusion, i meant to clarify that the photos I attached are from a different trucks. Mine is the light duty 6600 gvwr. I am in the process of making new ones for mine.

    Driver’s door decals

    I don't think they put the camper information on the door, but mine is inside the glovebox beside the SPID. Here is what the camper decal looks like:

    Driver’s door decals

    Does anyone have a photo of the Tire and Rim information sticker for a K2500 with a 6600 GVWR? Mine is gone too, and curious what it would say for the improved ride section with only 3 passengers, etc.

    Tire/wheel recommendations

    I have been struggling to decide on any of the plethora of aftermarket wheels for mine, and have yet to pull the trigger. I am definitely leaning heavily towards the stock look with some U.S. Wheel 664 Series 17x8 with a 5.5" backspace...

    Tire/wheel recommendations

    The problem with having only the offset, is that you have to assume the extra 1/2" (or so) of flange width because an 8" wheel is measured from inside bead to bead on the wheel and the backspace is measured to the outside of the wheel. A 4" backspace on an 8" wheel is not zero offset.
