    Another option are the Flomaster FX series. They are baffled versus chambered and give a nice deep tone. I have true duals with two of these and the sound is nice without being too obnoxious.

    Suspension Rebuild/Upgrade & Lowering Questions

    **UPDATE** Here's how the truck looks after my new tires installed on stock 8" rally wheels. 235/60-15 up front (26.1") 295/50-15 out back (26.6") My only complaint is that I think the front is lower than I expected. It was only supposed to be 3 1/2" up front, but it seems lower. I know...

    Hella Sealed Beam Conversion & Harness Confusion

    ***UPDATE*** Hello everyone, Thanks for all the advice and instructions on how to do this upgrade. I tackled this upgrade this weekend and think it came out nice. All the wires are were soldered, heat shrunk, wrapped in wire loom and tucked away nicely. Now I just need to take a night...

    th400 kick down switch

    Hi everyone, I just completed a TBI to Holly 650 swap on my 87 R10 and I'm experiencing a similar situation as the OP. I can shift just fine, but when I put my foot into it, I don't get passing gear. I didn't put two & two together when I made the swap. I might search Summit Racing or Jegs...

    Need Shorter Tires After Drop

    I understand what your saying, especially on your 3/4 ton. I will most likely just buy them online and have a local shop mount them. I think Discount is just covering themselves because with it being a truck, it has the potential to haul heavy loads so an appropriate tire is needed. I've seen a...

    Need Shorter Tires After Drop

    Evening everyone, Well I finally installed my suspension upgrade and I think my tires are too tall. I'm rubbing at the top of the tire. Current setup is 255/60-15 on stock 15x8 rally wheels. Thinking a 26" tire up front would work, maybe a 235/60-15. Out back I wanted to go with 275/60-15...

    Hella Sealed Beam Conversion & Harness Confusion

    According to Hella's website, the two kits I referenced above come with adapter wires; however, when I look on Amazon and Summit racing adapter wires aren't mentioned. Regardless of if adapter wires come with the kit, I will still want a relay kit included so I can draw power straight from the...

    Hella Sealed Beam Conversion & Harness Confusion

    Okay, thanks. Understand what you're describing. The Hella kits I'm looking at says that plug adapters are included, which I interpret to mean that it'll adapt the H4/H1 base of the bulb to fit my factory wire harness. If that's the case, would I still need to dissect my factory harness? Do I...

    Billet & Leather Steering Wheel (New)

    Hi everyone, I have a brand new 14" leather (Half-Wrapped) & billet aluminum steering wheel for sale. Nothing is wrong with the wheel, it just didn't fit the style I was going for with my interior. It was only installed on my truck for 1 day. All necessary parts to install on any 60's-80's...

    Hella Sealed Beam Conversion & Harness Confusion

    Hi everyone, Question for all my fellow Squarebody owners. I am about to pull the trigger on a complete set of Hella sealed beam conversion lamps for my 87 R10, but I am a bit confused on which to buy. My truck has quad headlights. Just need some clarification on which part numbers to...

    Have you looked at https://www.performanceonline.com They have several specific kits to choose from. I bought a complete lowering kit for my 87r10. I haven't installed it yet, but plan to within the next week or two. The components should lower the front 3 1/2" and 4" in the rear. I went...

    power window upgrade

    Hello, This is something I'd be interested in. I have an 87 R10 Silverado with very slow windows. Any other sure for slow windows besides a wiring harness upgrade? Do you by chance make harnesses for the sealed beam headlight upgrade? PM me and we can discuss further. Thanks
