    LMC Mirrors Chome VS Stainless Whats the difference?

    Craig, can you give me some more details on how the mirror was constructed? Is everything on the mirror stainless? I know the clam shell that mounted to the door from the factory was plastic. Is the LMC version metal? How have your mirrors held up?

    Axle aligment after axle swap

    I did #1. Spring pin was broken. Tried drilling out the springs to upgrade to a 3/8" grade 8 bolt but found out the springs were harder than my drill bit. So I opted for a M8 12.5 hex and turned the head down. To clarify my measurement that I took. I measured from the rear rim edge to the...

    Hydroboost crazy

    Thanks Frankenchevy, I'll be on the lookout for a c3500 now to swipe the pump off of. I have all of the accessories from a later model truck to do the serpentine swap. I just need to drill a mounting hole in the passenger head. I'm swapping it because of the hack job of a vintage air...

    Hydroboost crazy

    Yeah, I went a little Hydroboost Crazy. I know have a Hydroboost system from a CUCV, 94 GMC Safari Astro van, and a 2005 Chevy Tahoe. Other than the size of the accumulator, and the length and size of the brake pedal push rod what is the difference in these systems? I currently have the...

    Dana 44 Late model axle upgrade

    I know the Dana isn't a turd, but it was in rough shape, every bearing and seal were toast. I also realize the internals will not interchange what I was wondering about were the externals from the steering knuckle out.

    Dana 44 Late model axle upgrade

    First let me say if this is covered else where point me to it. I'm new to the inner workings of these front axles on these square bodies. I have an 83 K10 that has bad ball joints. I assumed swapping in a good working axle would be the easier job. Purchased said working axle only to...
