    1984 Suburban Interior Panels the go over the Fenders

    They aren't reproduced. You'll either have to track down nice ones or make new ones. Nice ones are out there for sure. But it can be very hard to find them because when a truck gets parted out, the Burb-specific stuff is of little importance to the seller. Everyone wants pickup truck parts.

    Yeah, but they asked for opinions so I'm gonna give mine :rofl: Stock wheels and hood!

    Tires for Stock Rims '79 K20

    Lots of tire sizes will fit properly. Although, I do question the need for a "proper" fitting tire when you are choosing what seems to be the lowest quality tire you can find. Imho, a quality tire that may be slightly "too" wide on a certain rim is a far better choice than a low quality tire...

    327 vs 350 for a daily driver

    I dunno, when I was growing up, seeing those magical "454" fender badges was a super cool thing. Still my favorite. But 327 is indeed a nice change of pace in a world of 350's.

    Tire Size

    It has 16's on it, not 16.5's? For the stock rim and stock ride height, a 255/85/16 is a good fit. It's tall and skinny, like a narrow 33" tire.

    SM465 Release Bearing Discussion

    Like I mentioned before, many applications do not have such a device to prevent the collar from spinning. They all seem to work fine.

    73-75 k5 hard top seal

    I think there's only a few people here with full top K5's, it may take a bit before someone has an answer.

    1992 RS Camaro. First car for Der Burger.

    My buddy that I spoke of, he bought an '86 Firebird new, in the same gray color. He ordered it and got all the cheap options, but none of the expensive ones. It has a very strange combo of options. It has gauges, S/E type interior, block heater, locking fuel door, HD cooling, HD suspension...

    Wow! It's a Firebird S/E! It's one of those things that's extremely rare, but not necessarily desirable due to the rarity. But one things for sure, you will probably never find one of those hoods again! That's really cool.

    clutch pedal assembly- 87 hydro

    We all should have bought these things back when they were commonly 50-75 bucks.

    Have a 79 k10, just bought an 81. Help with swap?

    And in the 70's there were Lincolns with GM A/C and power steering pumps. Manufacturers make curious decisions sometimes.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I think I've had my Quincy for about 10 years now. It has performed flawlessly and is American made. I didn't have to order it either, the local farm store had it in stock. Just a 60 gal, but the pump performs so well that an 80 gallon tank would not have benefitted me at all, even for bodywork.

    A saw will work too :) It's way easier to make a big shroud small, than a small shroud big, lol. Reminds me of a totaled '88 C1500 that a coworker had bought and repaired in the late 90's. He used a v8 shroud on the v6 truck. It was the dead of winter and we needed to move it for one reason or...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    What shop? I'll bet it's the one that my buddy Cody works at. I think you've met him. He's the one that owned my gray '84 Z28 for a couple years.

    Steering Wheel Cleaning

    Gunk, or the goo that comes from the degrading old rubber/plastic that the wheel is made from? I usually either install a steering wheel cover, or replace the wheel. But I did not want to replace the original wheel on my '73 wagon. Iirc, I scrubbed it with glass cleaner and a terry towel...

    350 sounds like a diesel engine

    Right, but what if you romp on the gas pedal a couple times? Like, let it really spin up a bit. Is there a horrible noise to go along with it? If not, that can be a good sign.

    I've never compared them side by side, but I'm betting you can reuse the entire v6 engine harness. Iirc, the engine mounts are different, but the holes are there for the v8 mounts. If your donor v8 does not have the mount brackets on it, let me know, I think I have an extra pair that I can send you.

    Has anyone weighed a 15x8 rally wheel

    And that 25.8 lbs is no fun when it's 100+ degrees outside and you are carrying one all the way across the state fairgrounds, from the swap meet, to the spectator parking lot.
