    1991 suburban sunvisors in 1987 pickup? Will they fit?

    So here’s my question. I’ve got a 1987 V10 Silverado. It’s got the vinyl covered sunvisors with the passenger vanity mirror. I know someone who’s parting out a 1991 Suburban with the same color interior, the sunvisors are the same material as the headliner, and they have a lighted vanity...

    Anyone know how to disassemble this fender antenna?

    I’d like to put this mount to use as a CB antenna but can’t figure out a way to disassemble it. I can see a couple spots on it where I could put a wrench but when I tried it seemed solid and I don’t want to break anything. My understanding is that this is a GM accessory and was most likely...

    Need bolts for exhaust manifold heat shields on 1987 350TBI

    So I own a 1987 V10 with a 350TBI. One thing that it’s missing are the spark plug heat shields though it does still have the heat shield that’s attached to the manifold for the stovepipe to the aircleaner. It’s missing the other 3 heat shields. This doesn’t use the later TBI heat shields...

    700r4 1-2 accumulator spring replacement

    Had a transmission shop rebuild a transfer case for me and install it in my truck. When I picked it up they said they’d noticed on the test drive that the 1-2 shift is a little too soft. Delays a little too long. They said it wasn’t a problem now unless I just wanted to take care of it now but...

    Need a pic of a tank selector valve shield for a 1987 V10.

    The little shield that covers the tank selector valve on my truck is missing, probably has been missing for years. I don’t even know what one of these looks like. I think there were at least 2 different styles of these? Anyway, I need at least a picture of what one on a 1987 looks like and...

    What size/length/thread pitch bolts for brace on NP208 transfer case?

    My question is in the title. I’m missing one, and don’t want to have to take the other off and leave the brace hanging while I try to find a parts store or hardware store that has one. I keep seeing M16 online and then 1.5 or 2 which I guess is thread pitch and then 40mm or 35mm or 50mm plus...

    Looking for 8 ohm dash speakers.

    Truck has a 2700 ETR stereo in it. Dash speakers are toast. Looking online I can’t find any 8 ohm replacements. Do I just get a pair of 4 ohm speakers and wire them in series? Can I do that? Is there another option? What are y’all using for dash speakers in the stock locations and with the...

    Want to upgrade my tie rod setup from 7/8 to 1”. 1987 V10

    Just like the title says, stock 1987 V10 with the 7/8” tie rod setup. I’m replacing the tie rod ends anyway so figure why not upgrade to the 1” setup since as far as I know the steering stabilizer hole is in the same place, the whole 1” setup fits same as the 7/8” setup. Anyway, here’s a pic...

    Rams Horn Manifolds 2 1/2” straight-dump on a 1987 V10 350tbi. Will they fit?

    Lots of conflicting info on this online. From what I can gather these can be fit on the 350tbi in my truck as long as one of the motor mounts is cut down a bit. My question is what about the accessory brackets on my motor? Will running the rams horns mean I have to get new accessory brackets...

    1987 V10 5.7TBI p/s belt question

    So here’s the question. My truck has all the options, p/s, a/c, etc. it’s also had the AIR pump deleted so no belt for it. When I got it, it had 2 belts off the p/s pump. The inside belt just on the p/s pulley and the crank, the outside belt off the p/s pump to the a/c compressor and then I...

    Where to buy o-rings and flat nylon washers for throttle body fuel lines for cheap?

    If you know TBI then you know just what I mean. The o-rings I know you can get in an assortment for $10 at oreillys but that’s a bit steep for just 2 o-rings. The flat washers are ridiculous, can’t find those except in a rebuild kit which is something like $60-$70 bucks. I’d like to buy a...

    Adding a speedo with trip odo, need to add the hole for the trip odo shaft

    So I found a brand new cable driven Speedo for 88-89 squarebody, still in the Delco box. It’s got a trip odo and I want to add it to the tach cluster I put together for my truck. My problem is this. My clear lens that covers the gauges doesn’t have the hole for the trip odo reset shaft. I...

    Installing a factory tach cluster in a 1987 V10 350TBI. Do I need a tach signal filter?

    I’ve got a factory tach cluster out of a 1985 manual C20. Guy I got it from found it in a junkyard and didn’t think to get the wiring harness with it. I’ve got a new printed circuit and a wiring harness ordered which I’m already wondering about since LMC has the printed circuit listed as 81-87...

    4WD indicator switch on NP208 1987 V10

    The switch is bad, already have the replacement in hand. Is there any way to get it off without having to drop the transfer case? Got a crescent wrench on it today but didn’t have room to turn it. Any ideas? Deep socket maybe?

    1987 V10 leaking fuel after changing gas caps

    So here’s what happened. Bought the truck a few weeks ago, noticed just the faintest hint of a gas smell a couple days ago. Took a look at both gas tank caps and they looked to be the OG ones with cracked gaskets and looked like garbage so I replaced them. This morning when I started the...

    Previous owner swapped in a GMT400 spare tire carrier

    Just got this truck, didn’t come with a spare but I found a rim for a spare and put tire on it today. Went to put the spare under the truck and to may surprise a previous owner had welded in the GMT400 cable spare setup. Only problem is the little piece at the end of the cable that fits into...

    1987 V10 700r4 locks up immediately after 1-2 shift

    So I got the truck a couple weeks ago. Been working on it since then. Had it at the exhaust shop on the rack yesterday and noticed the tcc plug on the trans was unplugged. It’s been unplugged a long time, connector is cooked. Got a new connector on the way and I’ll wire it in as soon as it...

    Braces between 700r4 dust cover and motor mounts on a 1987 V10 pickup

    Edit: found a set. Should have them in my hands and on the truck late next week. Changed the trans filter on my 1987 V10 today and noticed that it’s missing the struts that run from the trans to the motor mounts. Anyone got a pair of them they could part with?

    Hello!

    I’m sitting in a motel room in a small town in West Texas. Drove 6 hours out here to pick up a 1987 V10 SWB in the morning. That’s how far I had to go to find one rust-free, hahaha! I’ll post up some pics of it on the trailer tomorrow. It’s got a MAACO paint job on it covering up what’s left...
