    Bent clutch linkage

    Is that pivot ball bent, or are the threads in the block F'd up?

    frame difference

    If you can salvage the cab mounts off of the p/u frame and use them on the sub's frame it should work. Use the fuel tank from the sub, make a flat bed and your good to go.

    Not all states are ok with tow dollies, ran into an issue in either NY or NJ or both many years ago.

    Another oil pressure gauge thread

    You might consider "T-ing" in for a mechanical gauge for testing.

    electric switch on shifter, need ideas

    Does the switch have to be on the column? What about using a floor mounted headlight high/low beam switch? Could even wire up an indicator light.

    Making headers fit

    That don't look right. I've never seen an adapter plate that would make those fit. Are they correct for the engine/heads? I'd find a SBC iron head to verify the spacing.

    New oilpan + one piece gasket help

    I used the one piece gasket on my 350 with no issues. Something might be interfering with the oil pan, maybe the pump and/or pick-up?

    '83 K10 / 350 / SM465: shuddering from first and a nasty sound under load

    My vote is to replace the clutch. Stay away from the three finger style pressure plate and the hockey puck type of disc, also replace the pilot bushing. Should I have recommended to dump the clutch?

    Ignition cylinder replacement

    There's a lot of u-tube videos about "GM steering column key replacement issues" that may be easier to follow then written instructions.

    Looks like a rust-proofing plug.

    Brake booster on my 86 K30

    My vote is it originally came with hydra-boost. I have never seen a CK30 with a vacuum booster, I could be wrong, I've made misteaks before.

    Best source for a new dash pad for my ‘87? LMC? Brothers? Other?

    My '74 came with the glue down type dash cover and I've used them on a couple of mid 80's blazers. They fit ok with a little of massaging and a heat gun. The last one came from LMC and they are cheaper than a replacement dash pad. None of my vehicles are 100 point winners.

    Adding a Suburban Gas tank

    What about a "T" in the vent line to fill from the aux. tank?

    2 barrel carb - barking up the wrong tree?

    I thought single plane intakes were for upper RPM's, anything been done to the engine?

    Rear main seal

    A casting date would be a start. If it's a one piece you'll need to drop the transmission, if a two piece drop the oil pan.
