    A/C Question regarding different years

    I have a 76 K15 Sierra Grande that came with factory air. I have a fresh SBC 383 stroker in it but I added a serpentine belt system from a 92. meaning it runs counter clockwise. Had to change fans, alter the alternator etc. The belt system still has the 92 compressor on it, im sure its junk. I...

    Diagram for fuel lines on a 76 K15?

    Also have a new painless wiring harness that is supposed to be specifically fitted for all 73-87s so i assume it should have everything to make a 6 port work

    Diagram for fuel lines on a 76 K15?

    Ok so return the 3 port selector valve i got off lmc and get the 6 port then. Guess it doesnt matter really its not original motor anyways plus the selector valve had some uncomfortable warnings on it. Like not intended for oe replacement and offroad only. And just find a T from any where that...

    1976 K15 Crossmember Question

    Yes right concept but all one piece, not bolted on. Either way i called rough country who made the drop kit for the transfer case. Advised me that i didnt need to bolt in the sides and move on. I however drilled two holes into the frame to put bolts back in. But i also got a 3/16 metal plate...

    Diagram for fuel lines on a 76 K15?

    Yes it is the 3 port for the tank and the fuel pump. I dont recall a vapor canister but again it was previously converted to propane and the saddle tanks were just capped off. It had a massive tank in the bed with a line running under the cab. Thank you for the diagram. Question, the lines after...

    New brake upgrade on the frame off restore

    Took me a while to pull the trigger on these. Just felt weird buying caliper replacements for super cheap on a frame off build. Spend all this money on everything, lift it to the sky with 37s and have $30 calipers to stop it? Anyways it was $30 or $400 for these, since there wasnt much of a...

    1976 K15 Crossmember Question

    Just got the Tranny and transfer case back from rebuild. Its a turbo 350 tranny and the heavy 208 transfer case. I also bought a transfer case lowering kit from rough country to go with the lift. But from what i see it just lowers down the crossmember by 4 spacers. The weird think is my cross...

I am in the middle of a frame off restore. and just got new saddle tanks and fuel sending units (3 outlets) in. The truck was previously set up to run off propane (new engine on order)...

    Rough Country 6inch lift dumb question

    Hey guys, just got my frame back from the powder coaters, and my rear end is "curing" for the 48 hours of Eastwood Encapsulater. So since I finally got my 6inch Rough Country all spring lift in last week, i decided to start putting everything back together. I literally have the frame on a few...

    8 inch lift overall height question

    I went with a 6 inch RC suspension lift, I have read many times that 6 means 8 if the original springs are wore out, which they are. i think it should be just fine fitting 37s. Kit is supposed to be here next week, and frame gets back from powder coat. Obviously tires and wheels will be last...

    Axle question 1/2 and 3/4 ton

    I am in the middle of a frame off restore on my 76 K15. Frame actually goes off to powder coat in a week. I have a 6 inch RC suspension kit being shipped this week, and the plan was 37s on 15inch rally wheels, (85% sure on the wheels, 100% sure on the 37s) When searching for an engine rebuilder...

    1976 with a 4.8 LS swap info

    I think i might back out of the LS idea... seems like the easiest thing is to just get a crate motor that bolts right in. No computers, etc to deal with. Plus probably close to same cost and have a new motor vs high miler LS maybe im chickening out i dunno. Any other ideas or motors i should...

Also have option to take a 06 2wd silverado donor truck with a 4.8 Ls in it. I know its not the favorite ls swap, but its free and ive seen lots of...
