    Will a 73-87 pickup body(including the box) bolt onto a same year suburban frame? Is the wheelbase the same? Will the body mounts line up?

    Voltmeter Not Working

    I have a 1983 Silverado 1/2t that had a 305 ESC in it before I got it.I put a 406 in it but the voltmeter does not work.Could this be related to the unplugged wiring from the ESC setup?

    Will Rims from a Current 3/4t fit a SquareBody?

    I have seen some 3/4 t 2wd with rims from a 2004 and it definitely looks like the offset is different.What newer factory wheels will fit a squarebody K35? I like the look of some of the newer wheels and would like to know what my options are.

    700R4 Wiring Connections

    After working through my tv cable and shifting issues,my transmission is now working fine.The next thing I want to is to connect the four pin plug to the transmission.My question is what does it connect to under the hood? When I bought the truck everything was disassembled and in the box of the...

    Best Replacement Chrome 1983 C10

    I'm looking to replace the plastic chrome pieces on my 1983 Silverado.I see it is sold in a roll.Will this look the same as the factory strips? Are there more than one type available.I found the replacement stuff on LMCs website. I'm looking to repaint and bring it back to stock. Thanks

    700r4 Not Shifting

    Well I've been running my stock bracket for about 200kms and I installed the tv cable stud on the inside of the throttle bracket.This allows a more straight pull on the tv cable.The transmission is shifting alot better the more I use it and I suspect the fresh oil has helped free things up in...

    700r4 Not Shifting

    Thanks again.After installing it I had to remove it until I can find a throttle bracket like yours.I'm back to the GM bracket for now.

    700r4 Not Shifting

    MadOgre,I only saw your post after I posted mine.That makes sense as I was lining up the tv bracket on the upper holes but then it left me with no where to connect the throttle cable.I have seen pictures of the throttle bracket that bolts to the base of the carb/intake but I don't have one of those.

    700r4 Not Shifting

    Ok I installed the bracket and now the tv cable will not reach.My set up is and Edelbrock 1406 -600 with a Performer RPM manifold.I installed the tv bracket on the lower holes and the two smaller brackets on the upper holes.Its like something is wrong because I had to move the upper to the outer...

    700r4 Not Shifting

    It shifts!! I found a homemade bracket and installed it only to find it was junk.I put my factory bracket back on and set the tv cable.I then slowly moved the cable towards the firewall and the transmission shifted on its own without mashing the throttle.I played with the setting and ended up...

    700r4 Not Shifting

    I tried snapping the cable a bunch of times and then took it out for a ride.I took it down the highway and same as before it will shift under heavy throttle.This time when I manually shift from first to second it will shift but still at a higher rpm.It will then hit third but I didn't want to...

    700r4 Not Shifting

    Well I finally got time to pull the governor and the piston in it seemed pretty sluggish.I sprayed it out with brake cleaner and freed it up so that it moved with the centrifugal weights then re-installed it after blowing it out.Truck still holds onto first gear unless I really hammer on it,then...

    700r4 Not Shifting

    Good to know.I just ordered my bracket today.Crappy thing is it will probably take a couple of weeks to get to me.In the mean time I'll search for the throttle bracket you posted.Someone else mentioned a sticky governor.I'm going to look into that while I wait.Its not a daily driver so it can...

    700r4 Not Shifting

    Thanks for the info.I'm going to try the Edelbrock 8036 bracket and cross my fingers.I tried mounting the stud facing towards the carb ,just to make the cable pull straighter,but found no difference.I replaced the tv cable to one from a tbi truck since mine was broken.I'm assuming a tv cable...

    700r4 Not Shifting

    I should have mentioned that I have replaced the fluid and filter and I have tried adjusting the TV cable. I'm running an Edelbrock 600 and have the TV cable stud mounted on the supplied bracket.I ran this same carb on a car with a 200r4 for years with no trouble.There is a considerable angle...

    700r4 Not Shifting

    I finally got the engine put into my truck after it has sat for 26yrs and now the trans won't shift out of first gear until I floor it and really speed up.It seems to upshift fine then but what can it be?If I idle away from a stop and just lightly accelerate it holds first gear.I've tried...

    Walker Replacement Dual Exhaust

    I tried to buy the Walker kit and found they were no longer available.I ended up buying a Hooker dual exhaust system in 2-1/4".The pass side went great but the d/s needed some clearancing to clear the cross member.Mandrel bent and seems like a decent system.Haven't finished the install yet.Still...

    Walker Replacement Dual Exhaust

    The kit I am looking at is dual 2-1/4".I think that should be plenty for a mild 406.I agree the down pipe connections will be different,but there's no exhaust shop in my town so this is the easiest way for me to do this.

    Walker Replacement Dual Exhaust

    Walker offers factory replacement dual exhaust for 73-87 square bodies. Has anyone installed dual exhaust kit made for a 6.2 diesel on their gas truck?I was looking at their online catalog and you can buy this kit or one from a 400 sb powered pick up and bolt it on.I'm just wondering if they are...
