    Master cylinder rebuild kits?

    Are these possible to find for our trucks? Do I have to take mine apart to know what size it is? I've see some for specific bore sizes but I am unsure how to find one for my truck because most give different options. I came out yesterday morning to go to work and fired up my truck, smoke started...

    Square Body owner new to Forum

    :welcome: from northern IL! Swap is pretty straight forward. You'll need bigger u-bolts for the rear and the top plate for the 3/4 ton axle, the rear u-joint is going to be bigger. The front should just bolt right up and should be the same u-joint, just make sure you use new u-bolts. 8 lug...

    Air pressure offroad

    77K20 was spot on with the airing down and narrow wheels with wide tires definitely help to keep the tire on the rim without beadlocks. My old truck had a Detroit locker in the rear and ARB up front. The small ARB compressor works good to air up tires if you have a storage tank.

    4.10 gears

    Yup, I'm swapping to 4.10 myself. Currently 3.42s. Had 4.10s in my '78 Stepside and I loved it.

    What did this mirror come off?

    Those look like mirrors for an older Chevy truck. The angle bracket gives it away. But I could be wrong.

    Electric Choke Issue

    Sounds like you got a short in the choke and it's grounding out when you connect it.

    Some 8 lug axles from a 1984 Chevy 3/4 ton truck

    The trick is to pick up a few sets, bring them back to Dallas and sell them for $1k a pop. That way someone else pays for your trip.

    Beadlock and tires and back spacing.. oh my.

    @colonel mustard Could you also take a shot down the side of the truck? I want to see how far the tires stick out of the fenders. Thanks

    Some 8 lug axles from a 1984 Chevy 3/4 ton truck

    Yeah, I would say TX to ND is more than a "bit of a drive" lol Illinois, especially southern IL and MO have plenty. For a 14bolt full floater around $200 is good. Dana 44 or 10 bolt front, $50-$100. I find sets all day for $2-300. If you're looking for a Dana 60 SRW front those are $1200+...

    Some 8 lug axles from a 1984 Chevy 3/4 ton truck

    Yup, 14 bolt Semi Float and 10 bolt front. I'm building a 10 bolt for my truck also. Just take your time and do everything right. You don' want to get them together and get them in only to have to tear into them. On a Side note I wouldn't use pool sand. Silica is VERY bad to breath in. Check...

    Worn out leaf springs

    Could be. I would also check your leaf spring bushings. My Suburban is leaning toward the driver's side and I know my front bushings are almost non existent.

    How Will My Square Body Look With XX Lift and XX Tires?

    Lol. 6" front spring with longer shackles, I think it adds about 1/4". Rear is 3" spring, 2.5" shackle flip and 1.5" longer shackles. So more like 7" in the rear (or maybe it was 4-1/2" shackles giving it 1/2" more, I don't remember lol). Tires are Super Swamper IROK radials, 39.5x13.5x16. Turns...

    How Will My Square Body Look With XX Lift and XX Tires?

    This is a 6" and 39.5s. 37s won't be bad. It's not completely a side shot, hope it works for you.
