    Rear End Gearing

    Thanks Huck. I was thinking a 28" tire, as well. I will have to reevaluate.

    Rear End Gearing

    1985 SWB with a LS3 6.2 and 4L70. Ordered a 9” rear end from Quick Performance. Does anyone have suggestions on the final gear for cruising, in town driving and road tripping on the interstate. I will not be drag racing or auto crossing. Just cruising 50-70 mph. I understand tire size is a...

    1985 SWB 2WD Rear Axle

    Rear axle flips are very common on these trucks, as everyone knows, to lower the ass end. It is my understanding that performing this, lowers the rearend approximately 5"-6", keeping everything else constant.......it is also my understanding; the rear pinion angle is not affected when doing...

    4L80E Clearance Issues?

    @NickTransmissions The 6.2 engine will be the power plant....99.99% sure. Based on your opinion and a buddy of mine, I was really leaning toward a 4L80E. I know I want to stick with a 3 speed with overdrive (no 6-speed trannies, etc.) However, I just wanted to make sure this combination of...

    4L80E Clearance Issues?

    Nick, this is the comment I am responding to. I plan on driving it normal. Meaning I will be cruising it from town to town on county roads. In addition, I will be driving it at highway speeds (60-70mph) for the occasional weekend trip to cars shows, vacation, etc. I will NOT be drag racing...

    Bextreme and Nick, I plan on driving it normal. Meaning I will be cruising it from town to town on county roads. In addition, I will be driving it at highway speeds (60-70mph) for the occasional weekend trip to cars shows, vacation, etc. I will NOT be drag racing, auto crossing, towing, etc...

    4L80E Clearance Issues?

    Bextreme04 I think you might be correct on the 4L80E connecting up with the L92. I know GM currently offers a performance package that combines the L92 with 3 options: 4L65, 4L70 or 6L80. Would a 4L70E be a legit option over the 4L65E or 4L80E? Or should I consider a 6L80E for the 6.2...

    4L80E Clearance Issues?

    1985 C10 2WD Short Bed Looking at transmission options for this particular truck. I'm leaning toward a LS3 6.2 for the powerplant. This truck will not be drag racing or auto crossing, etc. This truck has a small hump. Will a 4L80E tranny work, without modifying the tunnel? I do not want to...

    How close are the aftermarket doors?

    I was on AMD's website. Didn't see the C10 doors have any mirror mounting holes. I understand some people want to customize their doors with different mirrors or no mirrors at all. What about the guys that want to use the factory door mirror hole locations? Thank You.

    1985 SWB 2wd 1/2 ton C10 Rear Axle Flip

    I currently have an all original factory ordered 1985 C10 Short Box 1/2 ton 2wd with 56” (6) leaf springs. It is my understanding this set up is a little unique due to the mass majority of the swb, 2wd 1/2 tons having 52” (4 or 5) leaf springs. I recently purchased an axle flip kit. My...

    Rear Leaf Springs

    1985 C10 2WD Short Bed The vehicle is original and unmolested. According to the RPO code it is a heavy 1/2 ton with heavy 5-leaf rear springs. And judging by the bed, it appears the truck hauled absolutely nothing. I'm currently in the middle of performing a 4-6 static drop, c-notch, axle...
