C10 LS Swap Actual Cold Air Intake
That is some awesome and clever insight into the design! Most of the cold air intake kits in the aftermarket seem like a compromise of literally everything else for the sake of intake sound. I didn't consider using a later model box and adapting it, but I see the benefits. Do you think I...- Torrey

C10 LS Swap Actual Cold Air Intake
That box would definitely make a great start! In a perfect world I would 3D print the box and tubing with a more heat resistant polymer, but I'm a metal guy.- Torrey

C10 LS Swap Actual Cold Air Intake
I actually considered a headlight intake cone and it does have a drain. What's the benefit of the oiled foam cone or paper filter? I'm hoping the air gap will help with heat dissipation. The box is mounted to the inner fender and the tube doesn't touch the core support. There should be some...- Torrey

C10 LS Swap Actual Cold Air Intake
Thanks! It absolutely has drain holes, I just didn't mention that part. Good idea to run a hose for the drain! My tuner got some numbers for the initial intake config, so I'll post results once it's all buttoned up and he runs it again. I expect a drastic improvement, as we were in the 135...- Torrey

C10 LS Swap Actual Cold Air Intake
Finished up my LS swap (L76 aluminum block 6.0 with LS3 heads) and got it tuned. My tuner said the open element "cold air" intake I had was getting crazy heat soak and costing performance. He recommended I get an actual cold air intake. Here is the issue: no one makes an actual cold air...- Torrey

Original bucket seat cover replacements? 1977 truck
I'd reach out to Seatz Manufacturing and send them photos of your stock seats. They made the covers for my late 80's Suburban buckets. https://seatzmfg.com/ -

Another seat belt question
I think I ran into the same issue as you using the LMC three point belts. The hardware they send with the retainer was much smaller than my factory bolt. I used the factory bolt, but there was about a 1/4" gap between the belt "triangle" the head of the bolt and my interior trim. I ended up... -

Bucket Seat Tutorial
Got pretty lucky. This truck was sold in OK and spent about 20 years in Mexico. Pretty solid all the way around. -

Bucket Seat Tutorial
Thanks! These donors have the adjustment knob for the back bolster and they will lean forward quite a bit. I know the Blazer seats have an actual release to tilt forward. With my set up, there isn't much room behind the seats. -

Bucket Seat Tutorial
Part 2 The shop had to cut new slots in the foam for the correct listings, and fill the old ones. The factory lines are left to right and the required ones are front to back. They also added some additional foam to the top and sides. The same goes for the top portion of the seat. The... -

Bucket Seat Tutorial
I know that this has been a topic of many discussions on these boards. A lot of us love the look of bucket seats and a console in our regular cabs. There's a lot of questions over what works with what, and how to make it happen. I thought I'd share my journey so that it may help others. I...
