    Transfer case identification

    I'm about to get a remanufactured transfer case, and was hoping to identify what I have without taking it out and counting splines. Do I have a 14020892? I really have no idea, but this tag is supposed to tell me. It seems to be the closest match considering there are numbers missing. TIA

    Converting to single tank

    How hard is it to convert from a dual fuel tank, to a single. We've owned this truck since new, and I don't remember the fuel tank switch valve ever working. Is it a big deal?

    Nasty gas tank

    Ok kids, I'm looking for some advice. My old 83 has bad gas in it. I syphoned out as much as I could. I had put about 10 gallons in on what I thought was a dry tank, but I guess there was a gallon of so of bad in there. Well, the new gas went bad in about two weeks, and boys, I mean bad. So...

    Valve covers

    No questions, just showing what I'm up to. I replaced the gaskets on these valve covers back in the early 90s, so no shock that the gaskets dried out and started leaking. I guess my dad tried tightening them down while I was on the service, especially the driver side, lol. I know I didn't put...

    Front brakes

    Well, so much for my restoration plans, lol. I need this truck and soon. Anywho, my first time ever working on a solid axle front end. Somewhat intimidating for some reason, idk why. Turned out to be a piece of cake. I think the hardest thing I had to do was putting the studs back in, lol...

    Key stuck in ignition

    So, I replaced the temp and voltmeter in the dash, and in the process, I removed the two nuts holding the steering column in place under the dash, allowing me a little more wiggle room to take out the dash cover. Now I can't turn the key back far enough to remove it from the ignition. Any idea...

    Vortec heads

    I'm looking for a set of vortec type heads in aluminum, and was wondering if y'all might have some suggestions of manufacturers to look at, who not to buy, and where to purchase. I see tons of stuff on eBay, Walmart, Amazon, etc, etc. Been 30 years since I looked at building a motor, and boy has...

    Factory smoke

    Right, so I was putting the battery in and while shooting the poop with a friend and me, being overconfident, hooked the battery up backwards, lol. I found the fusible link and slapped and inline fuse holder I had and stuck a 30 amp fuse in it so I could get things running, which I did, and it...

    Skinny mudders

    I was looking at tires that might fit the stock 16x6.5 rims I have. I believe those numbers are right, please correct me if not. Anywho, I was thinking of getting a set of 33x9.5x16 buckshot mudders and was wondering if anybody else has run a tire of that size on the stock rims with any luck, or...

    Rear disc conversion

    So I have a 1983 K20 with the semi float rear axle. I want to convert it to a disc set up and was wondering if the same setup that works on a full floater will work on a semi float. The adapter plates are about $50 on Amazon, and I've watched some videos of people using the front rotors and...

    Hello from kentucky

    Hey y'all. Happy to be here. I just pulled my 1983 K20 in the shop the other day, first time it's moved in a decade. My dad bought it new in 83, had it undercoated by Ziebart the day we bought it, and even though it loved outside it's entire life, it still has only a little rust on the bottom of...
