    newer seats in my 87

    I bought a set of buckets and a fold down console from a company i can`t remember but they said they would fit, they even sent a bracket to bolt them to. Well they bolted up fine then i tried to get in the truck and i could barely get my leg under the steering wheel. Needless to say i sent...

    Suburban Headliner

    Nice job! When i did mine i had one little wrinkle in the fabric but it still looks great. The worst part was holding the rear section up while putting the trim back up. I laid on my back and held the liner up with my feet and put the screws in at the same time, Being 6`4 helped alot in...

    Throttle Cable Poll & Talk

    I had one break on my 87 suburban but luckily i was only about five miles from home so i walked back and got my other truck and got a new one and fixed it. I`ve had my 85 K20 since 1994 and i can`t remember replacing that one.

    tires

    After i lifted my truck i had a SM465 with 3:42`s and 35`s and it sucked. The one ton axles i put in have 4:10`s and it obviously made it better but as soon as i get some cash to waste i`m regearing to 4:56`s so i can stop driving around town in third gear all the time because fourth is useless...

    missing frame crossmember?

    The same one on my 85 rusted into two seperate pieces years ago and i never fixed it. I have a class iv hitch on there that i think more than compensates for the loss of the crossmember so i never bothered to fix it.

    engine bogs and dies when givin gas

    Does your truck have dual tanks? This is a longshot but i had a similar problem. It started when i tried to pass someone who was going 20 mph under the speed limit, I downshifted and punched it and the engine bogged down like i was running out of gas but i had two full tanks. It ran...

    Suburban Headliner

    Exactly, you need it as clean as possible for the best adhesion of the new liner. A wire brush is the easiest and quickest way and harmless if you go easy with it.

    Suburban Headliner

    I replaced the headliner in my 87 suburban about five years ago. I found a kit on ebay. it`s was most likely the same stuff a few guys explained here. It was foam backed material. I used a wire brush LIGHTLY to remove the old foam. It`s easy to destroy it. Sprayed on the glue and let it set...

    Quick fender question

    When i bought my 85 k25 pickup it was stock height with 33x12.50x16.5 tires and they would rub the back of the fender. It never damaged the fender or the tire but i always tried to avoid situations that would make it hit. I now have 6 inches of lift and 35x12.50.16.5`s and they still hit but it...

    Driveshaft Difference for 14b SF and 14b FF

    When i replaced my 14sf with a 14ff the driveshaft was the same exact size, so was the u-joint. Before i did the swap i was told that the spring perches would line up. Well they didn`t line up at all, not even close. I had to buy new perches and weld them on and i`m pretty sure that the...

    Aside from 64-72 chevelles and GTO`s I`ve always loved the 71-73 boat tail buick rivieras. My mother had a 71 with a 455-4v TH400 and a 12 bolt. It was an open rear with really high gears but it was still pretty quick. You never see many of them anymore and if i ever found a nice one i`d...

    Yellow "gunk" on my oil cap???

    It could be a head gasket or an intake gasket. I just did a little research and a bunch of people say it`s normal to have yellow gunk under the cap due to short winter trips when the engine doesn`t get a chance to get hot enough to burn off any condensation. But i`ve never had it on anything...
