    4x4 Stabilizer Bar Bushing Install

    Hello folks, can someone describe the best way to install new OEM rubber bushings into the stabilizer bar ends for a 4x4? I've called around a couple of the shops in my area but neither could help. Is there a way to press them in that won't destroy the rubber? Thanks for the help.

    Rear Shackle Bushing - Replaceable?

    Is the rubber/metal bushing that attaches the rear spring shackle to the frame support replaceable? It appears to be a smaller size than the 1.5 inch diameter bushing that goes in the rear spring eye. Do I have to buy the shackle assembly to replace the bushing? Shackles look good and not rusted...

    Not from manufacturer...meaning someone has installed them? They were purported to be NOS. Hmmm.

    Ring and Pinion Numbers Mystery

    Looking for help interpreting numbers on a Motive Gear gm10.5-373 gearset. I'm wondering what the numbers that are hand added mean? Ring gear has 0,08" Pinion has 2,190" Assuming that the comma is being used as a period, what do these numbers mean? Thanks!

    Ring and Pinion Question

    This might be a dumb question but I assume there's a point where a ring gear and pinion set is too worn? I'm swapping in a used set of 3.73 gears into a 14 bolt FF and can't get a good tooth pattern. I'm no where near a gear expert but the pattern I'm getting would indicate fewer pinion shims...

    Leaf Spring Plastic Pieces

    Is there a source for the plastic pieces that go between leaf spring assemblies and the axle/mounting bracket? I've circled the items in the picture below. I've got the originals but they're not in good shape. I think the same pieces are used on rear leaf springs as well. 1985 K20 frame.

    Backing Plates Question

    I am in the process of swapping in 13 inch JB7 rear brakes onto a 14 bolt ff and found that the 1987 parts truck from which I'm getting the brake parts appears to have been using two left side backing plates. Or at least I assume that they are the same as far as the hole for the parking brake...

    New Wheel Studs or Reuse?

    Working my way through rebuilding a corporate 10-bolt front axle and now installing new brake rotors (reusing original hubs). What's the general recommendation, always go with new wheel studs or reuse previous if they still have good thread and knurling? Thanks!

    Ball Joints Too Tight

    In the process of rebuilding a 10-bolt front axle for my 4WD project and have the problem of the new ball joints being too tight on one side. Ball joints are new AC Delco professional or whatever the higher grade is called. I've followed the instructions in the service manual to first partially...

    2WD to 4WD frame swap. Is it really that simple??? Help me out!

    I'm in the process of doing the same swap for my 83 3/4 ton. I'm up in Wisconsin, but have been surprised by the number of decent frames that I've come across on FB Marketplace even being in the rust belt. I had brought home an immaculate 75 frame but was a little concerned about the 73-80 vs...

    Rear Leaf Load Rating Question

    Thanks. Upon closer inspection, it would appear that they started life as 6/1 springs and someone added two leafs (leaves?) at some point. I'm going to check the arch to see if it's still around 4.75" which is specificied for the 6/1 sets.

    Rear Leaf Load Rating Question

    Hello, picked up the springs and they are 52". As far as restoring them, what's the best way to separate the leaves to derust and paint etc? Is there a good thread on this board somewhere? Thanks

    Rear Leaf Load Rating Question

    Thanks for the replies so far. I've got a 14-bolt full floater that will be the rear axle. Owner says that they are 52" springs, but will take along my measuring tape to make sure. Either way it sounds like they'll provide the hauling capacity for the truck.

    Rear Leaf Load Rating Question

    I found these rear springs for sale locally and think they'd be good for my K20 project...I'm converting a 1985 K10 frame to K20 and trying to max out the load rating for use around the farm. They are 52" springs, which will fit the K10 frame that came with 52's so I won't have to move the rear...

    Transmission Hump Questions

    Hopefully I'm not beating a long-dead horse, but I have a couple of questions relating to converting an 83 2WD cab with AT column shift to 4WD with AT column shift. 1. Are all removable transmission tunnel covers the same? Or are there differences between 73-80 and 81-83. 2. Which would be...

    WTB P30 19.5 wheels

    No, they aren't split rims. Look like your average dually rim with hand holes. Same bolt pattern as square bodies as I run 16.5 wheels from the 80s on the 59 truck that I was going to convert to a dually.

    WTB P30 19.5 wheels

    Chevy used 8 lug 19.5 wheels for duals on 1-ton trucks from 1955 until late 60s? Not sure when they stopped. I've got 4 and a spare from a 1958 truck. Where are you located?
