    Gear Ratio

    We did the calculations on it 4L60E transmission with 33" tires. My options were 4.10 or 4.56. 4.10 would have been a little better for the freeway driving. I figured this vehicle is more around town driving and I wanted to have the torque when I put my foot into it. Cruising speed at 70mph...

    Old Bedliners

    Include some photos when you pull it out. Curious to see how it looks?

    Gas to diesel

    Seems like a lot of great information so far.

    What did we do before cup holders?

    I like the floor cup holder so my lady can still sit next to me. The only advantage of a bench sit.

    Old man constantly asked to drop his truck.Any stock height C10s left in the world??

    I think it would be a cleaner look without the bedrails, especially if you lower it.

    Old Bedliners

    It looks in good shape but never can tell unless you pull it out. It does not look like it would be that hard to pull out. The bed liners that wrap underneath the top rail of the bed are more difficult to pull out.

    Show your daily driver

    I want my 1973 K5 blazer to be a daily driver. I am having new gears put in it so it's more drivable. The 3.07 ratio were way too tall after installing a 4L60e. Hopefully using a kill switch will keep anyone from stealing it.

    There are several videos on youtube of people doing a full removable top conversion.

    Has anyone received door panels or sun visors from USA1 since March 2023?

    I would like to order some door pockets but this gives me some pause on my order.

    Rear end gear ratio change or transmission change ?

    Better late than never. I wonder what they end up doing?

    Rear end gear ratio change or transmission change ?

    I would recommend a transmission change with overdrive over replacing the gears.

    Square body chevy truck gear ratio

    Maybe try a bigger tire on it.

    83 K20 GEAR RATIO

    I agree, the transmission is the problem, I would install a transmission with an overdrive and keep the 4.56 gear ratio. I just did an LS swap and installed a 4L60E transmission into my 73 Blazer. The Blazer has 3.07 gears which were way too tall for the new transmission. I am spending $4100 to...

    Gear Ratio

    You are stoked you have 4.56 gears. I am spending $4100 to have my gear ratio changed from 3.07 to 4.56. It's for both the front and rear axles.

    04 LM7 into 87 K5

    There is not a lot of information regarding VSS in a 4x4. Definitely makes an LS swap more difficult.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I hope the latches work better than the ones I purchased from LMC, I ended up installing the original latches back in. The LMC latches had small spring in them that almost fallout immediately.

    Need 1973 - 1975 Windshield to Hardtop Brackets

    Hi, I have been looking for quite a while and unable to locate windshield to hardtop brackets for a 1973 K5 Blazer. If anyone has a set or knows where I can find them? It would be much appreciated.

    Gas to diesel

    I am sure someone has done it by now. I would do your research and see if there is a good video or thread to follow. It will be so much easier to learn from other's problems before you have to figure them out for yourself.

    04 LM7 into 87 K5

    I did a LS swap on my 1973 K5 Blazer with a 4L60E and a NP208 transfer case. I have a terminator max ECU. I am using a walter engineering VSS. I would not say it's a perfect solution. The VSS issue caused me a lot of time and money. Initially the speed would not registerer until 20-25 mph. The...

    Really tight front brakes!

    I would replace the front rubber brake lines and replace or rebuild both front brake calipers. Have rotors machined, if there is enough material or replace them, add new pads and be done with it.

    Congrats on the new truck! Hopefully you get it sorted out.

    Hydro boost brakes awful sound after finishing motor swap

    Hopefully with the air purged, you are good to go. I differently like the feel of the hydroboost versus vacuum.

    Color match for blue interior

    I feel your pain, I have a K5 Blazer with saddle interior and I have ordered from several different companies interior parts and no of them match very well.

    Trans braces not installed when motor went in, can I fix with a little welding/fab work?

    I think it depends on your build, trying to keep everything original would be nice and tends to not create problems done the road. Please post photos of what you end up with.
