    Lets see your lifted trucks

    Go to CK5.com and look through the technical articles on the home page. There's a guy who upgraded the original front clip on his 78 or 79 to an 82 clip and then he upgraded again to the dual square headlights. He maps it all out for ya.

    Fillmore goes under the knife

    I'm not sure about the paint marks but I know for a fact that the shop I took it to to replace the injectors did'nt replace the pressure regulator. In fact, they did such a shitty job on the whole project, they needed to do it twice because the first time, the passenger side injector was...

    Fillmore goes under the knife

    But you were ON TOP of the engine where as I have the core support out so I can stand and do the work. I'm too old, fat and a little less bendy then I used to be for that kind of shit anymore. Actually, this has been kicking my ass going at a VERY leisurely pace. I just don't get as much...

    Fillmore goes under the knife

    I might do a compression test, but to be honest, I can't see why I'd really need one right now. The motor was purring like a kitten with a very steady idle, burned absolutely no oil between oil changes and didn't burn any coolant either. The only thing it did was hunt for an idle and bog down...

    Fillmore goes under the knife

    I hear what you're saying and I agree it'd be smart, but I've gotten into a lot of trouble with "might as well" in the past and I need to get it back on the road ASAP. My DD is a 72 Pontiac Ventura II that gets 8.5MPG and doesn't carry the girl-child, the wife and myself very comfortably.

    Fillmore goes under the knife

    Just a little update: I'm really glad I decided to take the intake off this thing. Cleaning it all up this weekend, I flipped it over and noticed that the passages in the intake for the EGR was completely pulgged solid with carbon build-up, including the gasket! I effectively had no...

    Fillmore goes under the knife

    Well, I got the intake off about 30 minutes ago! I had to come in because of the heat. It looks as if this job had been tackled at some point in the past though. The gasket didn't look too bad, but visual inspection doesn't always guarantee seeing something obvious. The other indicator that...

    Fillmore goes under the knife

    As far as the 10 bolt goes, I'm thinking about a 14 bolt since I broke a 10 bolt on my Blazer years ago on 33's just taking off from a red light. I like doing things once, not 2 or 3 times before I get it right. The only problem is, I love my Rally rims on this so it's gonna be hard to switch...

    And finally, here's a shot of my helper. She's happy to work for free, works overtime and more than happy to clean the tools after we're done with them...my kinda girl.

    Fillmore goes under the knife

    So here are some pics of the work so far. Progress has been really slow due to the heat, work and lack of enthusiasm in doing this project. I could've done this without taking the core support out, but it's soo much nicer being able to work on this standing up instead of lying...

    Fillmore goes under the knife

    Well, it started out as a surging idle and hesitating and bucking and snorting while driving it. I took my Sub to a shop to have it looked at and the guy hosed me for $400 and didn't fix it worth a damn, (he told me that it was just about 98% better.....try 2% better). So, I told my wife...

    350 idle problems

    Hey, on a related note...my 88 Sub developed a surging idle and absolutely no power on take-off and part-throttle cruising. I took off the EGR and checked to see if it was sticky but it was just fine. I sprayed some B-12 carb cleaner in it anyway. Started it and it still surged and ran rough...

    shackle flip?

    I've heard that Rough Country lifts ride.......well..........rough, but I don't really care too much. I kind of like a firmer ride with a truck. I hate a mushy ride. I guess I'll soon find out how good or bad it is in a couple of months though. And yes, my kit included rear springs. I had...

    shackle flip?

    That was with shipping. May be cheaper for you because they're based out of Tennessee so the shipping charges may be less since you're in the south. $500 for the kit, $85 for shipping to Montana.

    Frame concerns

    They can crack with stock tires too. The frame flexes way too much for the steering with bigger tires and it can cause the truck to wander, it can make the steering box come loose from the frame and maybe cause the steering box to fall off if it's bad enough. There is a frame patch kit that...

    shackle flip?

    I bought a Rough Country 4" all spring lift with shocks and everything you need for installation for $585 shipped. Just waiting for some extra parts and my friends to help me with installation next month.

    I'm baaack!!

    Well, even though I couldn't get the 12 bolt rear, I have an even better deal going on. While looking through Billings Craigslist, I found a Dana 44 and a 14 bolt FF for $350 for the pair. They both have brand new 4.10 gear sets that still need to be installed so either I learn how to do it...

    Ok, so the deal fell through at the last minute for the rearend, but here's pics of my shiny new lift kit... So you can just put away that BAN-HAMMER HotRodPC :Big Laugh: Overall, $575 for a 4" lift that comes with shocks and ALL the hardware you'll need to put it on isn't too...

    I'm baaack!!

    And it gets better!! Just struck up a deal with a guy here in town for a rebuilt 12 bolt rear axle with a Lock Right in it for $200!! I'm picking it up tomorrow morning. He had it rebuilt, but then got bit by the 14 bolt bug so he didn't need it. He pulled it out of his 85 Blazer so I'll...
