    14b vs D70HD Driveshaft lengths

    Both. Lowering the truck will decrease the necessary length of the driveshaft. The pinion on the D70HD is longer than that of a 14 bolt (making the yoke is closer to the transmission).

    New Car Hauler

    UV is definitely a killer, I wish I had a covered area to park mine. When I replaced my deck a month or so ago some areas were rotten enough to literally fall through however when I pulled the boards up about half were still tan like they were fairly new on the underside.

    New Car Hauler

    I struggle with this because it seems like it would be a mess for a while. My dogs and I would be tracking oily footprints all over plus you can’t lay on the deck to work under anything. I just put the 3rd deck on my trailer since new in ‘06. I’m averaging around 10 years each for the first 2...

    New Car Hauler

    Nice. My dog LOVES the tool box on the front of my trailer, he can stand on top of it and see over the fence and stare at the neighbors. :Big Laugh:

    Dana 60 front brake hoses with prebent caliper end?

    I just looked at my Blazer and my hoses are straight and it looks like having a 90° bend at the caliper would complicate things.

    Dana 60 front brake hoses with prebent caliper end?

    Does either set of hoses come apart? If the caliper banjo screws on to the main hose you could take it apart and a 90° elbow at that junction.

    ls swap sm465 with headers now slave cylinder will not fit

    In the "Classic Truck Federation Badass Trucks" group (sort of a Gulf Coast group) there's a guy name TC Cameron that's currently working on a square body with an LS / manual trans (2wd) using a hydraulic T/O bearing, he may have some info for you.

    Fuel pump issue on bbc 454

    Also make sure that your feed line from the tank is clear / free flowing.

    8 lug hub with 6 lug caliper

    Calipers, yes. Backing plates, no. 3/4 ton brakes use a larger diameter rotor so the bracket is larger. The caliper is basically the same and will mount on the 3/4 ton bracket.

    Headers and exhaust for a V3500

    The only thing I can think of is a vertical sheet metal gusset that runs down the outside of the upper floor pan and turns under the body but its outboard of the frame. Got a pic?

    Headers and exhaust for a V3500

    Can you be more specific about the location? Is it a frame piece or a bracket on the drivetrain? Is it the tcase to bellhousing support rod?

    R30 front brakes

    Duallies have the bigger 3.5” wide rear brake shoes.

    Headers and exhaust for a V3500

    I don't know which year or motor you're working with but it should be basically the same as a similar mid 80's 1 ton.

    Cracked TH350 case

    With respect to the heavy duty “K” cases, I’ve never noticed much difference in case thickness or extra ribbing, etc. The only real difference I’ve seen is the converter cover flanges being wider, thicker and threaded for the thick converter covers. Note: my experience is with th400’s

    Is the polished/chrome tailgate cap stock, on my 87.

    I don't own an OBS truck but from what I remember their tailgates are noticeably thicker than a square body tailgate.

    Nice score on the crew cab. 2wd?

    Thornbird or Super Swampers?

    It's not Thornburg, it's Thornbird Most of the Interco tires are bias ply, this means short tread life (avg less than 20k even if well maintained) and the potential for flat spotting. All of the Interco tires are noisy, it's the nature of aggressive tread patterns with large voids. Tires...

    Missing sway bar bolts. Anyone know what size they are?

    The bottom of the "shackle" bolts to the u-bolt plate and the sway bar eye connects to the upper hole in the shackle. Lots of Youtube videos and pics on Google.

    305 to 454 swap

    I have a huge 4 row radiator in my Blazer but it’s from a CUCV so parts places can’t look it up military trucks. I could tell you it’s the same as the same year civilian truck but thats as “vague” as my first post. Note: diesel radiators have different size hose necks that have to be dealt with...

    305 to 454 swap

    I thought I did that except for specifying a year (‘81+ interchange).

    305 to 454 swap

    Use a mid 80’s 1 ton truck with a 454 and HD cooling option as an application. With a bigger radiator you’ll also need the brackets and fan shroud. A 7 blade fan with a severe duty fan clutch is always a great upgrade.

    Bent fuel pump rod

    That’s a big piece of steel to bend. I too question if the pump is correct. Also, any work done on the front of the motor? One of the bolt holes goes all the way to the push rod cavity, too long and it will lock the rod in place (which could result in a bent rod after turning the motor over).
