    Wanting 4" suspension suggestions

    I don't plan on hardcore off-roading, but we are right next to the desert so I wouldn't want to take that option off the table. It's mostly for a weekend cruiser, but let's not limit the options. Honestly I just really like the stance of the Fall Guy truck so that's my motivation for a 6" lift...

    Wanting 4" suspension suggestions

    OK, so I'm still trying to figure out the optimal setup and I'm worried that a 4" lift just isn't enough for 35" tires. I don't want to go smaller on the tires. So what are your thoughts on a 6" lift? Optionally I was thinking about maybe still doing the 4" and modding my fenders to still be...

    Wanting 4" suspension suggestions

    Well the price is certainly right for these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E3DU1O/ Of course that's lacking the U-bolts and I'm not sure if those are really front or rear. I should probably get new shackles as well. The front brake lines are already good for 4" lift but the rear is...

    Wanting 4" suspension suggestions

    They're 35x10.5 BFG AT on 10" wide wheels with a -22 offset - so they're wide-ish. Wouldn't moving the axle forward an inch require other mods? Or is that within the axles allowable range. Also the steering arm would need to be longer, or maybe just adjust it way out (safe?)

    Wanting 4" suspension suggestions

    How big of an effort is that? I'd probably need a longer drive shaft and the pitman arm, correct? I like this idea in spirit.

    Wanting 4" suspension suggestions

    My K-20 currently has a 2" lift. It came that way. I assume it's aftermarket leaf's up front and it has 2" blocks in the back (I looks to maybe also an add-a-leaf in the rear). That said, it's a bouncy ride. In summary, my two questions are; I need to lift it a little more for my tires. Is...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Oh let's see... * Finally got my timing about right. * It finally starts and runs great...and... * Starter stopped working - tapped it with a hammer and it works again. That may be on the menu to fix soon. * Drove it around with the parking brake on. SOOO, Finally installed the parking brake...

    LMC AC controller has too many detents

    Well LMC did follow up with me but not with the news I wanted to hear. They said that this part is correct and nobody's complained about it before "so it should work fine." I think it will work if I straddle the detents and just eyeball it, but it still seems rigged. I may just use this to...

    LMC AC controller has too many detents

    That's good info - thank you. I was wondering about that left detent on the cold. Now I know.

    LMC AC controller has too many detents

    You know - I didn't even consider this because most online places don't give any service. I called them and they were very helpful. They wanted pics so they could forward them to the right people and if it's wrong they'll replace it. I'll keep this thread updated with the outcome but bravo LMC...

    LMC AC controller has too many detents

    This is what I have So six positions. The stock one for sure only detents on those 6 positions. The LMC just has this exact same graphic, but with 7 detents.

    Sagging doors: where to start?

    Your strikers aren't in terrible shape. Usually the door pins need to be replaced assuming the doors haven't been completely removed. They're pretty cheap and relatively easy to replace (watch videos). I removed the door from the outer bolts to do it and I ended up just cutting the factory...

    LMC AC controller has too many detents

    I ordered the AC/heater controller to replace the one I have (which is missing knobs, scratched and just looks awful). The problem is it has too many detents for the top lever. The label is correct, it has 6 sections, but 7 detents. I'll try to get fancy with fonts to explain - When I slide...

    First real drive! Not tragic but not good. I think I need carb advice.

    When you put it like that :hahano:

    It has two. They match the picture I put above. It has one. I guess it's the Scottsdale? So it's probably something that didn't come on my truck, correct?

    First real drive! Not tragic but not good. I think I need carb advice.

    I'm going to keep responding to myself with the answers to my own questions in case any other SB noobs run across this. Answers for previous post: The speedometer cable was just not pushed in all the way. It goes on way further than you'd think. The Edelbrock kick down adapter appears to do...

    Switching to dumbo mirrors

    I found a couple templates for their location. It seems like in pictures most people line it up in the middle with the wing-window support bar. The factory location is a few inches forward of that. I didn't get the bracket that goes inside the door (yet). If I do get it, I think that will...

    Rear Window size question

    I just got a one piece rubber gasket (no groove). I may live to regret that. I've done this before on a Toyota so I'm familiar with the process but I'm sure the fit won't be easy.

    Rear Window size question

    Yeah I tried a couple glass places. Their suppliers don't have them. LMC has it and charge more for shipping than the glass but I guess that's to be expected.

    Kick panels with 6.5" speaker pods

    I was wondering how those work too. I used to install stereos in the late 80's and we never did that back then. There's no depth behind it without some work. There's tons of room in the door and 6x9's are underrated. That was back in a time where nobody cared about cutting holes in their doors...

    Rear Window size question

    I'm looking to replace my rear window for a 1974 K-20. It has a slider. I don't know if it's factory. I wanted to change it to a solid window. Everywhere I look it's called a "large" window. They approx. the glass size to be 16"x64". The problem is that is beyond the size of the outer edge of...

    First real drive! Not tragic but not good. I think I need carb advice.

    Well the speedometer is fixed - sort of. Can any of you sharp eye mechanics spot the problem? I'm thinking this was routed in a way that it was laying on the exhaust. It should be fine now but I'll be keeping an eye on it. Replacing the cable wasn't any problem but it was a little finicky to...

    First real drive! Not tragic but not good. I think I need carb advice.

    Geeze people. I get it, you like the Quadrajet. You hate the Edelbrock. :hahano: Please, let it go. I promise to rebuild the Quadrajet when I've ironed out all my other problems. ;) For now, I'll take what works. This sounds very plausible. I know the geometry was slightly different and...

    First real drive! Not tragic but not good. I think I need carb advice.

    On this topic - someone in my area was selling two transfer cases from an old Blazer, 1 good and 1 for parts for $100. Nailed it. I know enough to be dangerous. But I've figured out more complicated things and thanks to YouTube, I can learn the wrong way to fix most anything. :hahano: I just...

    First real drive! Not tragic but not good. I think I need carb advice.

    Finally took it for another drive! So Second drive - way better than the first! I actually made it to the gas station and got gas. AND new problem list. * I was thinking my temp gauge wasn't working - It eventually did start working when I turned the car off. I need to inspect my thermostat...
