    6/8 lowering kit

    In all my cars I keep 2-4 pieces of 5/8 or 3/4" plywood cut into 8x8 squares for just this reason. I'll drive onto 1 or 2 under the tire to keep it up a bit for clearance and 1 or 2 under the jack so the jack doesn't sink and also to reduce jacking time with the tedious factory scissor jack.

    C30 Dually Tow Mirrors

    The West Coast mirrors are my favorite, especially on a K30 DRW. My dually has the power mirrors. Pretty much useless but I think they're cool.

    Converting from dual saddle tanks to a single fuel tank

    They start as low as $400 online for a bolt in tank needing no real mods. OP is also posting about buying Dakota dash, disc conversions, etc so I think an extra $100-200 for an easy solution isn't crazy.

    73-80 vs 81-87 Seat Cover Question

    Seat bottom frame is different. Later also has belt provisions through it. Don't buy from LMC. Order through Raybuck. Cheaper and get choice of 20 different patterns, colors, styles. Same manufacturer as LMC.

    Converting from dual saddle tanks to a single fuel tank

    I wouldn't bother with Burb tank unless you had a brand new one that you got free. CPP makes/sells a bolt in tank. Rick's makes/sells a bolt in tank. POL/ Western Chassis, I think, makes a tank. Have to drill 6-8 holes and they bolt in. Possible Issues to deal with: Wood bed floors reduce...

    91 Suburban Shopping Category

    Yeah, my '90 CC confuses the parts stores. I just got a new windshield and had to talk to the owner to make sure he knew what I had. Had a kid at O'Reilly's a few months back super confused when I said I had an Oldsmobile. "Is that made by Ford or Chevy?"

    91 Suburban Shopping Category

    Only chassis/ drivetrain change on the 2wd for 89-91 that I am aware of, and it wouldn't affect anything, was the spline count on the rear axle went from 28 to 31 on the 10b. Also, electronic speedo on the burb and blazer but I find that to be inconsistent as my '89 GMC Jimmy had a mechanical...

    Plastic repair (replace?) for fold down console

    Looks like a Qualitex brand seat. They may still make the seat/ part.

    Digital dashes

    On our C10, I went with factory gauges and then color matched the faces to the paint. Not a great picture and it's substantially lighter.

    Digital dashes

    I kind of like the Glowshift gauges and they include a bezel. Unfortunately since my C30 is a '90 and has the 1.5 Din radio that I'd like to retain; they arent an option. I do want something that has a boost and trans temp gauge as well.

    Digital dashes

    This is great, haven't seen these before! Modern also had a bracket for the VA system that I plan to order as my bodyshop "forgot" to weld a stud on the firewall.

    Dually fenders without clearance lights?

    I believe even the aftermarket fenders had the lights in them. I'm sure you have looked inside to verify that they weren't just glassed over but I'd try and make it original style as they look good. I've seen some guys near me that have glassed over the lights when using dually fenders for step...

    head light bezel: $15 bucks vs $25 bucker....

    If you buy 2 bezels, you are only out an additional $20 if they aren't "premium". I think I'd take the chance.

    Locking hood latch

    Additionally, I typically add the "knob" style battery clamps. Remove the knob and unless they brought some tools to reconnect battery, they can't start it

    Locking hood latch

    2, possibly 3 options I can think of. Keyed hoodlock pins. 60/70's style. or Short piece of chain attached to hood and core support secured with padlock. You'll still have to open the hood a few inches to access the lock and it will probably rattle a bit. You might also be able to drill the...

    Suggestion on fixing my powder coated rims

    I'm sure you are disappointed as that shouldn't have happened. Firstly, looks like sand from blasting wasn't removed??? If not sand, the faraday cage effect can cause that look as well. Basically since powder is "electrified" and creates a neg/pos pole they compete against each other in tight...

    Show your daily driver

    So my younger son is getting his license soon and gets good grades, does scouts and football. Found a good deal on an older Chevy with only 33k on the odometer. Picked it up today for him as school starts next week and the C30 we're building isn't going to be ready.

    Sbc serpintine belt kit

    I paid $80 for a unit out of a 88-91 Burb. Another $200-300 for belts, powder coating, alt and PS pump rebuilds. Came with good compressor but not running it right now, so AC delete pulley. Didn't need all that but I wanted it nice.

    Door Latch Hardware Question

    Amazon sells both 5/16 and 1/4. The doors should be 1/4 and tailgate 5/16. They cost about $7 for 20 They shouldn't wiggle out, even with a bit of play.

    FOR SALE - Gold Upper and Lower Side Mouldings for 1977 GMC Jimmy or Chevy K5 by Mar-K

    Pretty sure he is taking a loss at this price as $2600 if I recall. Shame Mar-K went out of business. Only place I could find the bed wood bolts for my 77

    K5 frame crack

    Personally, I think they are all cracked as I have torn apart probably 15-20 trucks and all have had something. Our 77 C10 I inspected the heck out of it before sending to blast and powder coat and found nothing. Literally 2-3 people inspected after sandblasting and I go to install the steering...
