    Lowered jimmy

    This With these I had no trouble getting mine aligned even on bags. Except for wanting the ride height to be tucking wheel which got in the way of sensor mounting lol

    Nv3500 into an 86 k10, but not a normal swap.

    Mine was an auto so I had to make the hole anyhow. I would imagine it will need moved or enlarged though if you're replacing a factory 4 spd.

    I was looking around for ideas to secure the safety chains. Found this: https://www.linklock.net/ I was thinking that would be nice so I could pull the chains an just lock them in the toolbox. I wasn't crazy about the weld on installation but it is a pretty cheap solution. Went to check mine...

    Hi - from Upstate, SC

    Yes keep the TPI! I have a full setup to run on my C10 with a holley terminator, if I can ever get time for my own stuff. I have vortec heads, a vortec lower to start with. I also socred another setup with a TPiS lower an a accel super ram for the 383 I want to eventually build too.

    Step one of the security updates completed. Hopefully this helps, maybe it's just my imagination but I swear the crappy lock i had on there someone had been trying to remove. It never seemed to be in the same orientation that I left it in. :shrug: The new hitch has a built in lock so I cut...

    Nv3500 into an 86 k10, but not a normal swap.

    That's interesting, I didn't think there was a difference in flywheels when the blocks should be the same. I thought it only changed with the switch to 1 piece rms like small blocks. I definitely don't have the experience on big block stuff though. I just figured it would be similar because the...

    It is kinda a good thread, maybe sticky worthy so it's easier to reference :shrug:

    This post includes a photo of the difference between the two pressure plate styles. Post in thread 'NV3500 swap' https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/nv3500-swap.16360/post-316183

    This also should have only required a pressure plate change to the older 95 an down style. The bellhousing is different because of the different bearing retainer styles between clutch fork an internal slave.

    You can use the clutch disc as they are both 10 spline but you'll need a 96 an up pressure plate.

    Nv3500 into an 86 k10, but not a normal swap.

    Nnnooooo The pressure plate has to match the throwout bearing style. An 86 plate would be clutch fork style an it won't work with an internal slave. He needs to use a 96+ clutch kit and a flywheel that matches his engine. I'll have to look again but i believe a 98 350 had a 12" clutch option...

    Need information on 22” Forgiato wheels on my c10

    I don't totally disagree with you, but he asked a specific sizing question for what he wants to do looking for help. He didn't say "hey I wanna run these wheels, what do you think?" If that was the post then yes he should expect differing opinions an comments an not take them personally. That...

    Need information on 22” Forgiato wheels on my c10

    This explains alot... If you're even remotely serious, pretty sure they meant with people you deal with irl an not about what people want to do with their trucks that you'll probably never meet or see irl. I looked the wheels up, they are not my style but it's not my truck. I don't like the...

    73-80 vs. 81-87 side window glass

    Can't say that I've ever put them side by side to check. I tint everything so that would cover it up anyhow lol

    Not surprised when the first 3 posts offer no help an only criticism for what he wants to do to HIS truck. :shrug:

    Need information on 22” Forgiato wheels on my c10

    Also I'm not familiar with that brand, so if these aren't custom order an they have off the shelf options like American racing or us mag those will fit an you shouldn't need to do a mockup especially at stock height. Those wheels are also returnable, unless you put a tire on it.

    Need information on 22” Forgiato wheels on my c10

    This, if you call them they might be able to point you to a local dealer that has the tool so you don't have to spend that money too. It's very dependent on tire size an suspension mods. Buy the tires, or even some cheap used ones in the size you want an mock it up. If these are custom order...

    73-80 vs. 81-87 side window glass

    81+ glass is a little thinner than 73-80. Use the corresponding year window guide to match the glass. I believe the belt line are the same.

    Show me your lowered truck. The lower the better!

    On air ride. I figure ride height is about a 5/7 or so :shrug: Ride height: Aired out: Can't find one of it aired out with the red bed but I know there's one somewhere lol
