    Looking where to buy axels

    sigh. I know not everyone is the best at spelling things, but someone literally laid it out there in plain sight, and yet no changes were made going forward. Some folks can't learn... lol

    Saddle tank delete with carburation

    I'm not intimately familiar with the shape of the underside of an M37 cab. What prevents the use of saddle tanks, the body still mounts above the frame, right? Are there things sticking down under it or something? If there's a reason then there's a reason, I'm not saying I know more about it...

    Saddle tank delete with carburation

    They already exist and hold fuel just fine. Is there some reason to get rid of them? Swapping is just more work and expense for no real gain.

    Why not? Make room.

    Keep Manual shift for the LS or swap in an auto?

    6l90 is quite a bit stronger than a 6l80/4l80, that was kind of the point of that transmission. But, if it's gonna see 90% road driving and with 37s I'm assuming not a lot of towing, I don't see any advantage of an automatic. You said it yourself, you like going through the gears. If you were...

    Nothing happens when turning key. Better results when in neutral. Tried changing the Neutral Safety Switch

    Sorry I don't know much about GMT800s. A 2002 Silverado is a little outside my wheelhouse. There are several forums dedicated to those trucks specifically, sorry it just seems like you're at least 11 years too new for this place lol. You could say "a truck is a truck" but by 2002 they had...

    Anybody know where these go

    What exactly are you trying to figure out? I see your jack, your heater box, and some wires and stuff. If you want to know about specific wires or hoses, please point to/circle them in the pictures, or at the very least describe what we're looking at here. The pictures don't even look like...

    Intro

    Welcome aboard! This place is a wealth of knowledge, really good group of guys. If the truck in your avatar is yours, that thing looks beautiful. We are definitely a fan of pictures around here, post up some more!

    Convert Dually bed to standard bed?

    My thoughts exactly. Unless the thing was T-boned or something, I feel like trying to weld in and smooth out patch panels is just as much if not more work than fixing a dent. Even if you have to cut out where it's smashed, hey look at that you're still patching a bedside...

    What should I sell engine & tranny for?

    Oh heck yes I approve of that swap. Sounds awesome to me! Personally I'll thank the stars you didn't say LS lmao

    What should I sell engine & tranny for?

    Just out of curiousity, if it doesn't knock or smoke and potentially has less than 100k on it, why the swap? Going for a big block? I don'r generally swap a good running and driving drivetrain, usually something has to be blown up first lol. With the exception of an auto trans of course (just...

    How to turn throttle cable 90 degrees?

    Park sideways in the spot? Then even if it's a north facing parking spot, you'd be facing east...

    Probably the worlds worst question… can any ID this.

    What vehicle is that in? '87 was the first year of TBI on squarebody trucks, so if it is an '86 then it wasn't swapped, they just were carbed

    Custom Tail Lights or Not

    Keith, I am appalled lol. The ElCamino bumper doesn't look too bad (sure wouldn't do it to mine but I don't mind it), but that red one is vomit inspiring, everything about the entire vehicle...

    Factory Seats; Why do they suck?

    Well they "suck" because they're 40-50 years old. I bet they were mighty fine when new.

    didn't see this till after I posted. Yeah basically what I imagined

    Necessity is ??????? Study this pic

    I see a street sign post welded to a cable come-along, somehow mounted to the side of an engine hoist with chain and a vise grip. I'm assuming the piston is shot maybe? This is a bad angle, if you really wanna show off your Kansas ingenuity we'll need a better shot to see it in all its glory

    Necessity is ??????? Study this pic

    Hah, gotta do what you gotta do man. I approve. Last time I brought an engine home I had to use my hitch mounted winch and a snatch block over the ladder rack to get it onto an old tire which I dragged into the garage

    Where can I get an OEM thermostat for a 1974 Chevy C10 with a 454?

    There's no specific advantage of getting the exact OEM tstat. Of course you don't want to buy the cheapest junk at the parts store, but basically any decent quality one will be the same. They are extremely simple devices, when it gets to a certain temperature it expands enough that it opens...

    What transmission do I have?

    well that's two times it shifted then... Still, even with a 700R4, it should not be revving out at 35mph. When I had stock tires on my truck, it still wouldn't hit OD until almost highway speeds. 35 is pretty slow. Now with 33s I don't hit OD until I'm actually on a highway going like 60-70...

    87 350 tbi exhaust chirp

    lol a bad enough intake leak can cause basically a "runaway" on a gas engine too. Lucky my truck is TBI, it sucks WOT when you start it because of a bad intake gasket that was neglected since before I bought it and finally just let go completely, but luckily it can't get fuel once you shut it...

    4.1 mpg?

    35s aren't small, but they're not HUGE either, a 350 can turn 'em. If anything that will just lower his final drive ratio in a sense. I get 15 or so with 33s. Only thing I can think of is if his rear ratio was already 3.08 or something really tall and the converter can't lock up with the big...

    TBI to Carb 1991 V2500

    As far as fuel injection goes, the TBI setup on our trucks is as simple as it gets. I hate modern electronics myself, but these are not modern electronics. Unless you're building a race engine and have to have some massive carb on there to keep it happy, swapping away from TBI is a step...
