    VINTAGE AIR QUESTION

    I’m wanting to put Vintage Air in my ‘87 LS Swap. Can this system be used with my stock compressor and condenser?

    Front body/radiator mounts RELOCATE?

    I’m putting an ‘87 body on a ‘74-‘75 frame. The ‘87 is long wheel base and the older one is short. I wanted a short bed. The older frame has more of a rounded nose while the newer frame has an open, slanted nose that bolts up to a bumper bracket. As you can see in the pictures, there is about...

    LS swap fuel system

    Thanks for the advice! After doing a bit more investigation, most people say the factory regulator is the way to go! Good to know. Thank you sir!

    LS swap fuel system

    I am currently working on a 5.3 LS swap in my squarebody. I have a question on the fuel system. I think I have what is called the “truck intake.” It’s the big ugly one. The fuel rail has an inlet and return and I’m assuming it also has a fuel regulator built into the rail. It has a vacuum...

    Bump Stops

    Does anyone have suggestions on how to install the bump stops on lower control arms? I don’t want to say I’ve tried everything, but I’ve tried all I know to do. Thanks!

    Leaf springs

    I am reconditioning my leaf springs. Plastic shims (I don’t know what else to call them) came off the ends of the leaf springs. It looks like they are there to keep the ends of the springs from slapping/clinging on the others. Is it necessary to put these back? If I don’t, what problems will...

    Suspension rebuild

    I’m rebuilding the suspension on my ‘87. I’ve put new bushings and ball joints in the lower control arms, but I’m replacing the upper, stamped control arms with tubular control arms. Do I need to reinstall the alignment shims with the new control arms?

    Master cylinder upgrade

    I’m in the middle of an LS Swap and I purchased an ‘02 Yukon as a donor. I was wondering if the ‘02 master cylinder would work on my squarebody. Truck is upgraded to disc/disc brakes. Would this swap make any significant difference? Should I keep a factory replacement. Thanks!

    Single Tank Bed

    It does have one door on the driver side. I wasn’t aware that dual tanks weren’t standard. Thanks.

    Single Tank Bed

    I bought an ‘87 square that I am rebuilding but the bed that came with the truck is not the original. This bed is has only one fuel tank. Does anyone know what year this bed would have been made?

    Springs or Spindles?

    I am in the process of rebuilding a ‘87 squarebody. I want to lower the suspension 3” in the front and 5” in the rear and I have never lowered a suspension. I am on a budget, so… What is best? 1. 3” drop spindles with stock springs 2. 3” drop springs with stock spindles This is not my truck...

    What size wheels are you running?

    Stamps or tubes

    Thanks for the info! One last question: If I buy the tubular and want to drop the from 3”, can I do that with a drop spring or will I also need a drop spindle? I also want to beef up the bakes. Probably 13” brakes or so

    Stamps or tubes

    I’m building a cruiser with an LS swap. It will have a 3/5 drop, leaving a slight rake in the suspension, and running 18” wheels.

    Stamps or tubes

    I’m rebuilding an ‘86 from the ground up and I’m wanting to know your thoughts on the A-arms. I know the tubular A-arm kits are all the hope right now, but has anyone rebuilt the stamped/factory A-arms with polyurethane bushings? If so, how’s the ride? Does it compare to the tubular kits?

    AC IS HAUNTING ME

    The name of the part I’m looking for is Evaporator Temperature Sensor; I think. Does my 86 have come with one? I see where the mounting position for the switch is on the evaporator housing, but there is no hole for the probe and no switch.

    AC IS HAUNTING ME

    I am trying to figure out the a/c on my 86 C10. I bought the truck in Alabama and drove it 8 hours to Louisiana with the ac running, but it was not cooling very well, but was running. Two days later it locked up. After evacuating the system, cleaning out all the lines, evaporator, and condenser...

    New wheels for 86

    I really like the stance on your truck. I was wondering if 20’s would fit my truck without any modifications. The stock stance is nice with a slight rake in it. What wheels are those in the 3rd pic? Those are the style I’m looking for.

    New wheels for 86

    I have an ‘86 square body. I’m looking to lower my truck, just a little. I want it to have a cruiser stance (I’m not sure if that’s a thing), but I think I’m looking for a 4” drop in the rear. It’s stock right now and I want it leveled out. What size wheels can I install that will fill out the...
