    Brake booster on my 86 K30

    My vote is it originally came with hydra-boost. I have never seen a CK30 with a vacuum booster, I could be wrong, I've made misteaks before.

    Best source for a new dash pad for my ‘87? LMC? Brothers? Other?

    My '74 came with the glue down type dash cover and I've used them on a couple of mid 80's blazers. They fit ok with a little of massaging and a heat gun. The last one came from LMC and they are cheaper than a replacement dash pad. None of my vehicles are 100 point winners.

    Rear main seal

    A casting date would be a start. If it's a one piece you'll need to drop the transmission, if a two piece drop the oil pan.

    If the a/c compressor is on the same side, it should ,could also have some made up.

    Leak in cab

    My money would be in the windshield gasket area. Remove the cowl screening and dump water in, avoiding the lower windshield.

    Coolant temp sensor blow out

    Yes, any sensor that is multi-piece can have the center take off. I've had an a/c high pressure sensor blow out, it left the threaded part in place.

    1982 Chevrolet C10 headlights help

    I had a mid 80's square that had a poor fusible link connection and the headlights would flicker. I'm a big fan of checking for poor grounds and hidden harness insulation cracks.

    Power estimate, mildly modded 305?

    225 to 250 would be my guess. I always thought the flow of 305 heads were the limiting factor for more HP. There is no substitute for cubic inches.

    What to replace on front end of K20?

    Before shooting the parts cannon at it, make sure the driveshaft u-joints are ok.
