    1" ORD body lift

    Offset and width makes a huge difference in the arc that the wheel travels in. Look at my mower,sorry,couldn't stand one of my cars on end. The farther the outside edge of the tire is from the centerline of the balljoint,the larger the arc that the wheel moves in,making it more likely to rub.

    1978 vs. 1988-1994 steering wheel bolt pattern

    Finally got a running 65 C10

    It will depend on a couple of things,it's not truly a 1 size fits all deal. The length of the wires affects the gauge needed. The maximum amperage draw affects the gauge needed. I'll put a thumbnail to a gauge to length chart,so everyone can evaluate there own situation. Keep your runs as short...

    WANTED: Rear Swing Away Tire Carrier for a K5

    I'd go to the local pick and pull and look at all the SUVs with rear swing mountspirate one and make my own mounting brackets. Actually I'd just make the whole thing, but for some one else it might be easier to adapt an existing piece.

    84 K10 full exhaust replacement

    It gets confusing when people jump in in the middle with a different truck,different poster and different goals. I almost answered this with comments and opinion that were relevant to O.Ps original post. You should start your own thread to keep this one on point.

    New to the site

    Welcome. I think you'll be less safe with four points than 3 points on the street,but If you are going to be running 4 points,make sure that are legitimate 4 points,not a 5 point run without a crotch strap. The crotch strap keeps the lap belt from being pulled upwards and into your organs when...

    A third thing to throw into the equation. GM made different steering couplers besides different sizes and diameters.

    If the bolts break,which they probably will if this is an aluminum manifold,NBD drill a pilot hole,drill that hole tap drill size,and tap the holes,very common.
