    upgrading your square with a hydraulic clutch

    No mechanical linkage to wear out... Z bar parts are stupid expensive to buy. I'll see if I can remember to get some pics of my clutch linkage in my 80. Every single piece is shot. With the hydraulic setup, all of those exterior moving parts are eliminated. No greasy connections to attract...

    upgrading your square with a hydraulic clutch

    i've had several guys ask me about swapping a hydro clutch into an automatic truck, or a truck with a factory mechanical clutch. so i thought that this post could be useful in the future. for starters, you need the proper 85-87 hydraulic belhousing. the hydraulic belhousing from an IFS truck...

    you want good tools, you've gotta pay good money. Paid over $400 for my 2135ti 10 years ago, worth every penny!

    Double gas tanks into one?

    The switch Abe the valve should run you 70-100, and it'll be fixed. Running off off both tanks at the same time won't do anything but increase the amount of unusable fuel in the tanks.

    73-80 Bumper Brackets

    Definitely different brackets for the 81+ trucks.

    Double gas tanks into one?

    For what you're going to waste trying to rig something up, you can fix your existing setup to work like it's suppose to.

    3/4 ton axles for my 1/2 ton...maintenance suggestions?

    Word. Replace all of the hub seals, inspect the wheel bearings, turn the drums and rotors, and replace the brake linings and hardware. Also inspect the balljoints and axle joints. Get the axles ready to roll before you cut the ubolts off of your old axle. Be aware that you will need new...

    Any Father/Son trucks out there?

    Mine isn't a father son truck, nor its it really a grandfather grandson truck. Mine was my grandpa's from about 2000 until he passed away in 2003. We did a kit of work to it in that time. New fenders, doors, he found someone to put floors in it cheap (and it shows), and we put the bed from my...

    14 SF 6-lug Axle for 73-87, what is the best option

    Also, the 6 lug 1/2 ton "Z71" 14 bolt is not a Z71 deal, it's option code F44 (heavy duty chassis). This option is NOT a part of the Z71 package. The Z71 package is shocks, skid plates, and bedside stickers. However, I have seen some weird combinations, such as F44 trucks with the 10 bolt and...

    14 SF 6-lug Axle for 73-87, what is the best option

    88+ the 7200# gvwr 2500s got a 14SF, and the 8600#gvwr got an 8 lug 14SF, with a FF as an option. also keep in mind that the 2wd 6 lug 14SF is about 3"narrower. IIRC, the gvwr thing is the same on squares and the SF or FF rear axle.

    Rear axle alignment

    It's not hard at all to track a frame out of square, might not be a bad idea to get it on a rack just to be sure if you're restoring it.

    Name that trans!!!!

    What are you planning to do for a vss signal? A racetrack 205 will be a fear driven Speedo, and the trans won't function properly without vss.

    Exploring other t-case options.

    The 91 will still be a 700R4, and if it is a square body, would be a great thing to swap the entire unit into your truck. The case is an NP241 either way.

    12 bolt GM truck rear

    2.76 gears are worthless in a truck. Regearing will probably pick up fuel economy and add power. Take this opportunity to put a good gearset in the rear, and find a matching front with the money you were refunded from the initial repair.

    spring perch lift

    Not the ideal way to do things, as the tube can crush under side loads. A simple angle bracket with beefy gussets would work better.
