    What's It Worth?

    Maybe the lift bed wasn't worth the investment. The crated turnkey high-output 350 was nice but I had to add the Holley Sniper EFI. Just recently I swapped in a 750R4 and now it's 2200 rpm at 75. Perfect interior. Doesking white leather bench. Flawless dash. This is a '79 Sierra Classic...

    Transmission Swap Mishaps

    I bought an '89 4WD Suburban for its 700R4 transmission and swapped it into my '79 Sierra Classic, pictured here. There have been a number of challenges but that side of the transaction seems to have gone okay and the PU is like a new rig. On the other hand, the 350 going into the Suburban is a...

    Vibration - Driveline Saga

    Hi! New here. Happy to meet y'all. I have a '79 Sierra Classic 1500 on a '83 2500 4wd chassis... with a dump bed. The vibration feels like driveline and it must be so I balanced it. Vibrates.

    Everything but the switch

    I have a '79 1500 on a 4WD 2500 chassis with a new 350 turnkey motor and I'm dissatisfied with the Eidelbrock carburetor. I just purchased a Holley Sniper EFI and two in-tank fuel pumps but the switching valve is backordered. I can find the valve and connector/wiring harness but the 6-pin on/on...
