    1988 K5 headlight issues

    When you pulled the pins to clean them did you move the pins to match the H4 bulb? I believe the ground and high beam are in different locations for the H4. It's been over a year so I can't remember if I'm giving the correct info, but I do know they are different and that is why Hella gave the...

    1988 K5 headlight issues

    I had some issues on my '85 when I installed Hella H4/H1 headlights. Hella provides a short harness to connect to the H4 bulb. I had also added one of the high load headlight harnesses I found on Amazon. I had a problem similar to yours, but I can't recall the specific's now. I know I ended...

    Here's the pictures he's referring to. I had bought this used and don't know if it's OEM or an aftermarket part.

    Removing power window regulators glass down

    You can use a cordless drill battery to power the motor if it's off the truck. Just use some jumper wires.

    1987 Chevrolet V20 front leaf spring replacement

    Here's another spot to check. Are the bushings at the front of the springs equal size or off set at all (Yellow arrows)? I would also take some cross measurements from here and confirm the frame is square.

    Stock Window Trim 87 Silverado

    I only assumed this as all of my squares have been Silverados or Sierra Classics. Here's a couple pictures of my '87's. The blue one was purchased in July of 1989 with about 15-20k miles on it. The 3+3 was purchased in 1991. Both had black window trim and OEM glass.

    Belt trim fastener on fender?

    Here's my '85 (11/84 production date) the day I bought it. It had 1 repaint, but the side trim had not been removed for the paint job. The only holes for the trim are at the bed corners.

    Stock Window Trim 87 Silverado

    I've used Precision window rubbers and have been happy with the quality. Chevy came with chrome trim and GMC came with the black. Here's a link to the chrome trim: https://www.prp.com/product/detail/104166?SearchType=AGR&sort=u.Name&paginationCount=24&year=1985&make=Chevrolet&model=C10&type=All

    Just bought my 85 k20

    Welcome. Here's my old K20 from the early 90's. 4" lift with 33x12.50's. Modern 305/70R16's are about the same size.

    Emblem Restoration

    They are made of pot metal. They may blow apart if you weld them. I bought new for my truck. I see you have the 2 headlight system. They do make Custom Deluxe 30 emblems for about $40 ea...

    Have a rollpan…. wants a bumper ….

    In the case of a step bumper, it would be pretty easy. You just need two vertical cuts in the pan, but you my need longer brackets as the upper step of the bumper usually fits in the recess of the bed. The ends of the bumper would still be notched oddly though. Here is the after market bumper...

    HVAC Question

    Aurora girl is correct. If you punch the accelerator, you will lose vacuum in the system and the blend doors will open or close due to the loss of vacuum. The black ball by the brake booster is a reservoir to prevent that. The part you have circled would have to come from a junk yard. They...

    Blue HVAC line

    Not really. I've only change 1 on my last two trucks (over the last 8 years). I ran into a problem on my current '85 where all the pods would hold vacuum, but the controller for the HVAC leaked. If course that valve is discontinued, so I had to buy a NOS controller. The valve is in the lower...

    The '79 had a 4" Tuff Country EZ Ride. 33x12.50x16.5's (32.8"). My K30 has 305/70R16's; they are also 32.8" tall.

    '87 V1500 2" Lift Advice

    @Redfish my '79 had a winch bumper and brush guard (350/350/203 & A/C). The welding shop way over built the brackets for this as the bumper was originally intended for a GMT-400 and the brush guard was for a Jeep J-10. It was heavy. No issues with sag in the 3 years it was set up this way...

    '87 V1500 2" Lift Advice

    My prior truck was a '79 K15. It had an old 4" stiff Rancho lift kit on it with a rear add a leaf and a 2" block (photo #1). When I added the 3/4 ton axles, I installed a Tuff Country EZ Ride 4" lift in the front. In the rear I removed the add a leaf and installed a 4" block. My truck had...

    BBC 205 4l80e conversion

    I agree with Shiftpro. I won't move the engine forward due to the weight bias. Since the transmission is longer than your TH-350, it would improve your front drive shaft angle ever so slightly. I know on my truck, even with only a 3" lift, the cardin joint looks close to binding if I real...
