    Rebuilt Stock Steering Column or Aftermarket?

    I’d opt for the factory rebuilt if it was done complete as you say. Ididit is USA made and nice as well, but a tad over the budget.

    What gearing do I need up front?

    If you were to run different diameter tires front to rear. Say 31’s front and 37’s rear. You would go with 3.73 and 4.56 as general rule you multiply tire diameter by .12

    86 1/2 ton gears needed for 33” with new 383

    I’d go with 4.56. I like having the grunt to power up steep inclines and maintain a speed. A top speed of 70-75 is just fine by me.

    K5 Blazer values… possibly buying 86 k5

    Both the steering frame crack and rear shock bolt cracks are an easy fix if you have a welding machine. For rear window operation, I would opt to do a truck tailgate swap and a soft top. The center console is missing, but a Tuffy in tan would fit right in. 6K and you stole it based from the...

    It’s the internet. No need to be offended, or defensive. Just ignore what you do not like. The internet is not real life. Wheel fitment is an easy check at custom wheel offset. Usually the mods required are also listed. Here’s 22x11 on a C10...

    Front shackle bushings

    Shackle upgrade. Comes with shackle plates and bushings/hardware. This kit is for the stock hanger. The FUSH kit is good while you’re doing the shackles but does add into the costs. https://www.offroaddesign.com/hd-front-shackle-kit-for-67-91-gm-trucks.html I think you were asking about the...
