    Frame swap

    so I had an idea the other day. I was working on my girlfriends explorer and it has the 8.8 independent rear setup. I need to shorten the frame on my c20 for an older style stepside and charge the rear as it it. Someone in town is selling the same explorer with a blown trans and new tires. Its...

    Turbo thought

    maybe this isn't the spot maybe it is. Was watching the road warrior with my kids and I'm sure we all remember the clutch setup for the supercharger. I know Mercedes was able to make it work. I was under my square the other day and with removing the fuel tanks there is some ample room. I started...

    Rear discs

    For the 14 bolt semi float I've seen a few different disc brake conversions. What's a good one with parking brake that someone here has used? I have a manual trans so I need the brake.

    Crossmember

    Anyone fabricate a crossmember? I have the top loader 4spd currently and want to switch to a t56 in the future. Thinking about dabbing one that I can mount either trans and jump it to clear dual exhaust.

    Truetrak

    I'm looking at getting a true track for my 10.5. I havent done much rear end work. Keeping my gears I have is it just a matter of swapping the ring gear and shimmying it back in or is a whole process?

    Brake lines

    I have an 86 longbed c20. I'm shortening the frame to fit a shortbed stepside. It needs all new brake lines. Would regular c10 brake lines fit? What kits do you guy like to use? I just had to make lines for my girlfriends explorer and frankly I dont want to do that again lol

    Small drop

    Ok so finally getting some time to work on my turd. It's a 86 c20 custom. I have all the measurements down to shorten the frame so I can fit my stepside short box. Most of this truck I'm putting together from assorted parts I had already over the years to make a budget muscle truck. I'm thinking...

    Hi

    Been a car guy most of my life mostly drag racing. I saw a 86 c20 nearby with a blown motor, no bed, and a stick. I had to have it. The owner had a stepside bed in his yard I wrangled into the deal. As far as cutting the frame and shortening it that's a no brainer for me. I have the knowledge...
