Lots of differences from my Mark lV, I think it will be easier seal with the flat surfaces, and FI is great. Interesting lifter locating for the roller lifters. Here is the old style lifters, I have since switched to Johnson. AFR heads on my build, and E-brock airgap, Wiseco pistons, Manley...- Craig Nedrow

Subwoofers
https://www.gmsquarebody.com/attachments/img_4892-jpeg.415284/ Just finished my sub install kicker 10 inch hideaway. It really works well you could actually probably put two or three of them back there. I think one’s enough for me. Omg, Irene Cara, what a feeling, the epitome of the 80.- Craig Nedrow

I forgot to post, but this also has Bluetooth with the speaker so I can make phone calls easy. This also has a USB. Cleaner polish then wax on the bed as good as it’s gonna get. The radio is a retro sound. I think it’s a Santa Cruz model..- Craig Nedrow

The sub requires a right and left signal to work that’s why I had to splice those wires they go to the sub everything else pretty much plugs in you have to run a red wire back to the sub that’s a power wire. I took that off of my circuit breaker Inside the engine compartment. You also have a...- Craig Nedrow

Driver side speaker I picked up the wires on the side of the seat in that channel, soldered,taped up, did it on both sides that takes care of the 4 x 10 speakers in back.

All my photos were on a thumb drive that got destroyed, and I deleted them off my phone, phony. Anyway last step is to plug in the connector into the red arc that adjusts brake, install the dash and you’re done.

82 GMC sierra C15 Inline 6 to 454 swap?
I swapped my broke 350 for my circle track 350. I to am a farmer/rancher, and hauled hay to customers. The 350 did ok, but I found a Mark lV 454, and never looked back. The 454 get slightly less mileage than the 350, but the torque and power, I’m hooked, and if you tow, no comparison between the...- Craig Nedrow

Here are the part numbers I used. The Curt still has four wires to connect. 12V power from the brown wire run earlier, goes to the black wire in the Curt. white ground wire, the yellow is back up, and I did not use that one.

that completes the controller wiring, but not all the trailer wiring. I bought a Curt seven way plug, and also a wiring harness that plugged into an existing plug on the 85. Just unplug the harness, insert the curt harness, and plug one end into the original harness, and the other end into the...- Craig Nedrow

the red wire from the controller goes to the brake switch, (in my case a white wire) by the brake peddle. 5th pic is the splice in wire to the brake switch. I spliced the red to the white switch wire with a crimp connector. The white wire from the controller is ground, which on the 85 is under...- Craig Nedrow

I wired the controller per this diagram, which is different then any controller I have done in the past. This is 12V constant hot, you will run one lead, (red wire) to the blue wire on controller. I slid a piece of heat shrink on then soldered, and heat shrunk the wire. You also need a 12V...- Craig Nedrow

Remove the steering column lower surround, and steel panel below the column this gives you access to the brake switch. Here are the part numbers I used. The wiring harness was very helpful, but first 12V power is the first order of business.- Craig Nedrow
