    I'm sure it's an age old question, K 20 ride quality improvements.

    My 3/4 ton rides like a block of wood and steers like a wheelbarrow. I had half a mind to swap in half ton coils in the front and pull a few leafs or get halfton spring packs. It's just a cruiser anyways

    High hump floor carpet

    I agree ot does look like the 67-72 hump but it's not quiet the same thought. It came out of a squarebody. If you look at the part of the hump closest to the firewall it has a totally diffrent shape than the 67-72. Upon more research I found that the hump I used is a 78 2wd manual. Trouble is...

    High hump floor carpet

    Ok so here's the deal. I have an 85 chevy that was a 2wd auto with a low hump. I put in an nv4500 and needed to put in a removable high hump. I used a high hump from a mid 70s I don't know the year exactly or if it was 2wd or 4wd. I am now trying to figure out what carpet will work. Pictures of...

    Dodge 440 in K10 Motor Mounts

    Not so sure you are going to find an aftermarket on somthing like that. usualy its GM motors to nearly anything not the other way around. you would likely have to fab up your own mounts and do somthing with the trans crossmember and get a driveline shop to make up a driveshaft with the proper u...

    Why does no one make aluminum replacement body panels.

    fair enough. I don't know anything about the stamping process itself. I did it realize that it would be that complex to turn out aluminum parts. Thanks for the info

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Hood sits down fine. You can see in thr pictures I had to cut the one end where the spring would attach so it would clear the hood pistons. I used 23" long pistons with a 9 inch stroke 100lb. All that being said It does feel a but tough at first to close but not enough to do any damage to the...

    Airconditioning LS swap, 85 to 78 front end swap ???

    When I did the front end swap I found that the top fender mounting tabs did not lign up I will likely extend the tabs. The pic of me holding the bolt sits inside the hole in thehood " not a bump stop. The cowl vent from the 78 simply clips in to existing holes. You will need the older wiper arm...

    Felpro Permatorque Severe duty head gaskets

    MLS gaskets have proven to be superior and tend to be where head gaskets have gone. They shine in the boosted applications. That being said I do agree an old motor as a daily I'd go with the standard gasket the motor came with. Take an apple out put an apple in for a daily.
