    Wanting Led upgrade throughout while keeping stock look... Recommendations?

    The only thing to note, you cant use LED in your Sidemarker on the fender unless you get creative to fix the behavior. Normally they come on with park lamps, and they blink opposed to the turn signal in front if you have the park lamp on But without park lamps on, they blink with the turn...

    3 on the tree to sm465 conversion questions

    the clutch fork should be checked for being dimensionally close to where the later bellhousing would be, and that its in the same plane, so the z bar springs arent pulling sideways(id imagine this wears out the z bar quicker) If it were placed different, modifying the zbar or the clutch fork...

    Hear me out...GMT400 box on a square frame

    Gotcha, thanks for clarifying, I had you opposite in one way, and the reason for saying it an entire different way lol. Appreciate it. So it seems like basic bracket-ing could make the swap doable, I have the metal to do the job, and either get my stick welder going or have my dad bring his...

    Hear me out...GMT400 box on a square frame

    Assuming the places the gmt400 bed is bolted is at the cross member spots of the bed, one could just drive a carriage bolt through the "inner" portions maybe? I am supposing a lot by asking that lol... Since it has a bed liner, I wouldnt care about making exposed bolt heads in the bed, but if...

    @bucket you and anyone else with gmt400 could consider this to be an official "part out" if you are interested in any 1996 truck parts. The dash and interior iirc are different 96+ compared to the previous few years, but if there was anything youd like from it feel free to say I only have...

    You know it Im an ameri-can not an Ameri-can't And dont judge, Ive saved over 40$ a month for the last 5 years by hauling my own garbage instead of paying for pickup from the township May seem ghetto to a city slicker but I like to work with what I have, and what I have is a gmt400 I got...

    Hear me out...GMT400 box on a square frame

    Front to rear would have it the tubing parrallel to the frame, tho, wouldnt it? Wouldnt I want it across so then I could attach to the frame? of course, I would be basically just centering where the wheels sit, it doesnt have a bumper nor will it, so its just a matter of "fore and aft" it...

    This is actually interesting, @MrMarty51 how many fans does your oldsmobile have? The generation oldsmobile we both have are the same body as the 93 lesabre and 93 park avenue, so they have similar fan setups. My 1990 Only came with 1 fan, which is because it didnt have the auxillary fan RPO...

    Some of you are probably rolling your eyes (Grit dog I see you lol) But I going to be removing the good things from my old C1500 (1996 C1500 silverado trim) including the Vortec and the 4l60e (I even have an extra 4l60e for it) Of the things left after removing that stuff, I want to make a...

    How to mount 1983 (O-ring style) PS pump on 1975 K10

    Where did you get that ps cap? The reservoir wont change the fitting or what lines go into it, the pump itself has those. If you want your nice new pump body and cap on your old pump, go ahead. Just get new o ring incase the o ring is damage removing the reservoir.

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    IF it were to become an issue, which could be from the manufacture of those wheels made them improper, someone else doesnt grind them as evenly. Infact, older trucks like these are much less sensitive to things like runout thankfully, a big reason being these wheels are reasonable , narrow, and...

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    I didnt read all the pages of new posts, but if the OP went ahead with the grinding away a bit of the wheel to fit, then I would just be concious of any suspension shake in the future, because you may have created lateral runout. IF you own a dial indicator you could measure this yourself, but...

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    a wheel thats lug centric should use a lug centric mounting adapter and not a cone, i know its not nearly common because a cone is faster for people, btu that would be more accurate. and the weight problem you brought up about the outside,you can remedy that with pound on weights on the inside...

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    the weights should be balanced betwene the other side, take 2 of the outer ones and put them on the inside (or other side) of the rim, across from them, so they arent so far away. And if that is what a balancer asked for, the tire needs to be match-mounted no the wheel, the low point of the...

    I think he was showing us what kind of wheel it was (maybe not?)

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    Good point, that is an excessive amount of weight, to the point that the weights are not able to be in the right "spot" because they are so wide, stick ons should be used, if, after match mounting, that area of the wheel cannot go without that much weight. Also, the weights should be split on...

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    no, my 3/4 ton is a 1980, which is 8 lug , and it has the large 13 inch drums for the 14 bolt axle The drum in your picture, is 5 lug, I have a 5 lug drum like it on a scrap pile I doubt there will be anything significant learned from checking for a lip, but id guess the drum is OEM because of...
