    Nv3500 into an 86 k10, but not a normal swap.

    Nv3500 into an 86 k10, but not a normal swap.

    This also should have only required a pressure plate change to the older 95 an down style. The bellhousing is different because of the different bearing retainer styles between clutch fork an internal slave.

    Nv3500 into an 86 k10, but not a normal swap.

    You can use the clutch disc as they are both 10 spline but you'll need a 96 an up pressure plate.

    Nv3500 into an 86 k10, but not a normal swap.

    Nnnooooo The pressure plate has to match the throwout bearing style. An 86 plate would be clutch fork style an it won't work with an internal slave. He needs to use a 96+ clutch kit and a flywheel that matches his engine. I'll have to look again but i believe a 98 350 had a 12" clutch option...

    Need information on 22” Forgiato wheels on my c10

    I don't totally disagree with you, but he asked a specific sizing question for what he wants to do looking for help. He didn't say "hey I wanna run these wheels, what do you think?" If that was the post then yes he should expect differing opinions an comments an not take them personally. That...

    Need information on 22” Forgiato wheels on my c10

    This explains alot... If you're even remotely serious, pretty sure they meant with people you deal with irl an not about what people want to do with their trucks that you'll probably never meet or see irl. I looked the wheels up, they are not my style but it's not my truck. I don't like the...

    Not surprised when the first 3 posts offer no help an only criticism for what he wants to do to HIS truck. :shrug:

    Need information on 22” Forgiato wheels on my c10

    Also I'm not familiar with that brand, so if these aren't custom order an they have off the shelf options like American racing or us mag those will fit an you shouldn't need to do a mockup especially at stock height. Those wheels are also returnable, unless you put a tire on it.

    Need information on 22” Forgiato wheels on my c10

    This, if you call them they might be able to point you to a local dealer that has the tool so you don't have to spend that money too. It's very dependent on tire size an suspension mods. Buy the tires, or even some cheap used ones in the size you want an mock it up. If these are custom order...

    73-80 vs. 81-87 side window glass

    81+ glass is a little thinner than 73-80. Use the corresponding year window guide to match the glass. I believe the belt line are the same.

    Snatch block an a few d-rings are on the list still. I think we had a 3500 on the other trailer at first, the weather killed it an upped it to either a 5k or a 9k i can't remember. It wasn't fast with the 3500 but it pulled anything we needed up on the trailer, even if it had flats. I think this...

    LMC Dash Pad Supplier

    To my knowledge from when I was selling parts a few years back, all the ones from the major companies were reboxed dash direct units. The only ones that weren't are USA1 an Cheyenne. I could never figure out who they were buying from to try an get direct into that source.

    No it's not cheap but Id do another recover anyday over the available options. Mine has some extra detail on the top so it was more than that but those are not terrible prices if they do good work. There is alot of time that goes into doing them correctly. Personally if I was doing an 81+ I'd...

    Huck's daily - 2005 Z71 crewcab

    I have the A6 in the dually. It works good but has connection issues randomly with my android. I started keeping a paperclip in the console so I can reset it without turning off the truck. At the moment I don't have anything crazy on it just stock speakers but it does a decent job. When I get...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I've thought about rebuilding my own too but was curious what you do if there's excessive wear in the worm or a few of the balls? Redhead an a few other places make a big deal about fixing that an say most of the wandering issues are caused by that.

    It soaks in like any other stain once the wood is in the right condition.
