    Mystery washers

    They are a larger diameter and thickness than my shocks' washers. I am thinking lower ball joint as well because the wear marks kinda line up. It is hard to tell with the photos taken before disassembly since everything is covered in dirt and grease. Also it seems like others do not have washers...

    Mystery washers

    Assembling my steering and suspension back together and noticed these two washers which I mistakenly did not label. Not sure if they are a big deal at all but my OCD will not let it go. I have checked through all the photos I took during disassembly and cannot find out where they came from. I...

    Header back exhaust fitment for C20 454

    hmm that seems like a reasonable option also. I would have thought a shop would charge a arm and leg for a custom exhaust but maybe ill call to price it out. Would be cool to do one yourself though. I would like to find a way to keep the system able to be broken down. This vehicle will...

    Header back exhaust fitment for C20 454

    Looks very clean I like it. Is that kit a weld together or slip fit?

    Header back exhaust fitment for C20 454

    Further planning out the build while the block is at the machine shop. I want to go with long tube headers, maybe a set off of summit, so I will need to replace the exhaust as well. Does anyone know of a good header back system for the 1976 c20 big block burb? The flowmaster #17742 says it fits...

    6 Speed Swap

    Thanks for the info guys. I will give level 7 a call soon and see what they can do for me. Contemplating btw a 4 speed sm465 or the new heavy duty 5 speed tremec that is supposed to be comparable to the nv4500. Cost does play a factor in my decision. Will probably create a new thread soon to...

    76 C20 454 harness mess

    Trying to simplify things with the harness. One thing i'm confused about is in the pics. That relay went to the accessory battery but why does that brown wire (which goes through the firewall and attaches to the pedal sensor along with the orange wire and then to the fuse panel) also connect...

    76 C20 454 harness mess

    Just got the truck home and started to dig into the hectic wiring situation. My electrical knowledge is admittedly pretty weak so I am learning as I go. So a little background on the truck. At some point there was a second battery installed (unless some models came with two) along with...

    4-53T conversion 76 C20 2wd

    I think it would be pretty badass too. Also, if I could pull off a manual swap along with it that would make it even better. The power those motors make with minor improvements seem to be sufficient for what I would use it for (to haul a race car trailer and a camper). I have daily driven a 95...

    4-53T conversion 76 C20 2wd

    Hey guys. Planning on doing starting to assemble parts for a diesel swap into my 1976 C20 2wd burb. I recently got the 454 running back with a carb swap and it just needs a little fine tuning. I would like to enjoy the gasser for a short time while funds are being set aside for the swap. I have...

    Fuel system conversion advise

    Just an update. I ended up not even using the new fuel line I ordered from inline tube. Instead I just took out the electronic fuel pump and put rubber fuel hose in its place. I got the edelbrock carb, new mechanical fuel pump , filter , drained the tank , and the truck fired right up without...

    Fuel system conversion advise

    So I am starting to order parts for this conversion. Just ordered main fuel (3/8 inch) and return (1/4 inch) pre-bent stock replacement lines from inline tube. One thing I am wondering about is what connects to the fuel pump ports. The replacement mechanical fuel pumps I can find...

    Fuel system conversion advise

    Thanks for the replies guys. So of the two main choices I could either keep the line with the electric fuel pump and just add a regulator in series correct? Or I could replace that electric fuel pump and line with stock line and run a mechanical fuel pump and extra line going from pump to carb...

    Fuel system conversion advise

    Just bought my first square body. Its a 1976 C20 burb 454. Its a beautiful truck with extremely little body and frame rust. The previous owner did a tbi conversion. Long story short the truck does not like to idle, wants to bog down when given above 50% throttle, and seems to be running...
