    Power steering sensor/sender?

    Whats the deal with this? One wire grounded to frame, the other wire runs up to a plug that hooked into a little black thing that also had a couple vacuum lines run to it.. truck is a 1986 k1500, 4.3 v6 and an sm465. First old gm I've had that has any of this.. of course my sample size is only...

    Got fooled by big hubs....

    Pulled a pair of axles out of a beat up half ton, a 14bff and what I thought was a dana 60 (huge hubs, 8 lug) Whelp, upon closer inspection it's not a dana 60. Its gotta be a 44. Bummed that I got duped by the big hubs... but whatever... the pair were cheap enough and its DEFINITELY a ff rear...

    86 4.3 v6 2 barrel options/emissions delete

    Id like to delete all the emissions garbage of my k1500 and run a non-electric carb. Is there any good reason a 2bbl wouldn't be a good choice? Truck isn't being built to go fast...

    Minimalist harness

    I'm thinking I'd like to make/buy my truck a bare bones wiring harness. Super minimalist. Its a manual door truck, no a/c or cruise or any of that fanciness. All I want is power to the cab (radio, dome light, blower motor, guage cluster) and the exterior lights. What's the easiest way to go...

    V6 y-pipe availability? 86 k1500

    Everything I've seen leads me to believe that replacement v6 y-pipes have been discontinued? Can't find one for a squarebody anywhere.. just for s10 chassis stuff. Is there some secret source for these? Anyone have one they'd like to unload? Thanks!

    Supporting mods required for 52" front & rear shackle flip on long bed.

    Planning on using the diy4x brackets to do the 52" spring swap, and using a raised steering arm on the axle. Will 4" longer shocks allow for full travel with the longer leafs? Obviously 4" longer shocks would work for 4" lift springs... but the longer leafs will allow for more travel so.. As...

    86 GMC half ton 4x4 from Maine.

    Hey everyone! Bought myself a squarebody shitbox in the middle of last year. 86 gmc longbed 4x4, 4.3, sm465. The body is both beat and needing rehab like a crack-*****.. but she's got a mint frame! Rare find for a truck that's spent 36 years in the rust belt. The GOOD panels on the truck...
