    B-52 alternative

    Visited DIY4x website the other day and found out that they’re no longer making some of their smaller items. I had been interested in the B52 front spring hangers. I can’t seem to find anyone else who makes something similar. Anyone know of a company that makes a kit like that? Thanks

    Disc brake conversion help.

    So kind of a weird issue here, I didn’t see anything about this in any other threads. Doing the disc brake conversion and everything went together great until I went to put the hubs/rotors back on the axle. Both sides need to go on like a 1/4-1/2 inch farther. All the bearings and races in the...

    M1009 CUCV alternator

    Does anyone have a part number or link for the correct alternators for an 85 m1009? I’ve found some online that say they’re the right ones but I’d just like to verify before I buy one since I know some parts for these can be hard to find. Thanks!

    Radiator mounts

    Anybody know of anywhere that sells radiator mounts to fit a 78 4x4? LMC says they’re on back order indefinitely, evilest sells them but they’re over $100 with shipping which feels a little pricey, and everything else I’ve seen you have to buy the whole body mount set.

    Military 6.2

    Military K5 exhaust

    So I recently bought a former military K5 to build as a weekend rock crawler. Needs a little body and electrical work but my main issue is the exhaust. It’s extremely loud, almost unbearable (atleast to me that is) drove it about 150 miles home and my ears are still ringing:thumbsdown: anyone...

    Going to look at a military K5...

    Hey all, I’m going to look at an 85 military K5 tomorrow afternoon. If I bought it the goal with this truck would be turning it into a weekend warrior off road vehicle. I was just wondering if anyone knew what transmission and transfer case the military blazers came with? Also if there’s...

    Curious what people are running for exhaust

    So I’m debating what I want to do as far as the exhaust on my K20 with the 350. Wasn’t sure what kind of setups other people were running. I was kind of debating between duals or just getting a glass pack and keeping the single pipe. Don’t want the truck to be obnoxiously loud either so...

    Replacing leaf springs

    So I plan on ordering new leaf springs for my 78 K20 project here soon just looking for some input from anyone who’s done this already. What I was thinking was do stock replacements in the rear and Tuff Country 2” EZ ride springs in the front to level the truck out. Wasn’t sure if anyone did...

    Rear brake line help

    So I’m getting ready to get the rear end out from under my 78 K20, all is going pretty well except this fitting on the end of the brake line is majorly rounded off and absolutely won’t come out, even tried filing it down to make it flatter and still won’t budge. Anybody have any suggestions on...

    New Bed question

    So I'm very new to the square body GM world, recently inherited my paps 78 K20 and I'm working to get it back on the road again. The original bed is shot and needs replaced and he has a new bed in the garage. Not sure if he didn't realize when he bought it or not but the new bed is obviously...
