    Column Shift Linkage Bushings

    Appreciate the tip. I was going to try lubing it up with some silicone first, but I wouldn't have thought of the hot water trick. I also did a little more research and came up with Dorman #02373 as a replacement grommet, and I ordered one to pick up tonight and try. Once I confirmed it fit I...

    Column Shift Linkage Bushings

    Update: After looking through some pictures of steering columns for sale on ebay, it appears my steering column may just be missing what looks like a rubber grommet in that column lever hole.

    Column Shift Linkage Bushings

    Does anyone have a picture (or better yet know the part number) of the bushings that go on the shift linkage AT THE COLUMN? I have the small bushing on the rod itself, but I assume there should be another bushing at the steering column lever hole as well, as the linkage rod is pretty sloppy and...

    Suburban Rear vs Truck Rear

    Is the 5 lug 1/2 ton, 8.5" 10-bolt rear from from a squarebody suburban a direct bolt in for a squarebody truck? I was under the impression that they were the same, but I'm being told that there are housing differences between the two applications. I was hoping to snag a 3.42 or even 3.08 rear...

    700R4 Shift Selector U-Bracket Slot Orientation

    Do you have a picture of it off the shaft? That's the orientation I'm referring to, the shaft hole angle. Every picture I find is of it bolted to the transmission where you can't see the mounting hole because of the nut lol

    700R4 Shift Selector U-Bracket Slot Orientation

    Does anyone have a good clear picture of the u-bracket for the shift selector on a 700R4? I need to order one and I want to make sure the slot has the correct orientation. I don't have the original one to compare to, and I'm trying to gather the factory-style shift linkage and brackets to use...

    A/C Condenser Mounting Insulator

    Ah, thank you! This is the condenser I bought, so maybe I'll make something like that work through the flanges instead of trying to use the top and bottom "feet". https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=3608046&cc=1030969&pt=6708&jsn=10

    A/C Condenser Mounting Insulator

    Having trouble getting a hold of the (4) rubber insulators as well as the (2) metal "cups" that mount the top of the a/c condenser in the core support for my '86 C10. I'm adding a/c to my originally non-a/c truck, so I never had them to start with. Does anyone have a lead on them? Or an...

    Heater Core Box Door Rod

    Does anyone have one of these rods that go on the top of the heater core box for an a/c truck? Or can anyone get me the dimensions so I can bend something up? Mine is missing. My clip in position A is also broken, but I can probably work around that.

    HVAC Blend Door Position

    About to add a/c to my non-a/c truck this weekend, and I wanted to confirm the blend door operation before I get everything in and find out there is an issue. Is it normal for this door to sit in the "middle" position when disconnected? I'm assuming it's because there is no vacuum being applied...

    LS Swap Pollak Fuel Selector Valve

    My '86 has dual tanks so I can't comment on converting from a single tank truck, but I ended up ordering the 42-302P kit just to make sure I had the correct plug for that selector valve and there weren't any issues with the shape of the plug itself or anything like that. I also plan on using the...

    Power Steering Pump Fitting Part Number

    Does anyone have the part number for the fitting in the back of the factory power steering pump for an '86? I need to order one, and can't find that fitting listed on RockAuto. My truck didn't have the PS pump anymore when I got it back, and I need to add it to the 5.3 PS pump to reuse the C10...

    LS Swap Pollak Fuel Selector Valve

    Casey, you are correct. Pollak got back to me after I reached out and confirmed the following: Part number: 42-159 = The Fuel Selector Valve by itself 42-300 = Kit which includes the 42-159 Fuel Selector Valve as well as the 42-203 Connector, 34-592 Switch and 42-201 Face Plate 42-302P = Kit...

    LS Swap Pollak Fuel Selector Valve

    Pollak 42-159P or 42-302P? I've seen both selector valves referenced in here for using the '87 parts in your LS swap, what is the difference between the two? Are both plug and play electrically in an '86 that originally had dual tanks? (with switching out the dash rocker to an '87 type of...

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    Yea that was one of my hesitations with the VA setup, although it's probably an easier install than trying to put all of the factory stuff in, I don't want to put that kind of money into the a/c and potentially have less than factory level performance. Plus I know you tend to get a little more...

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    So more than anything I need the housings, and the diverter blades and all of the miscellaneous parts and pieces that go with them, as well as the control unit and any associated wiring. Most of the "guts" and wearable parts I would be replacing with new, and for a little over $200 on Rockauto...

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    So a little background info on the truck: Although from the factory it was a non-a/c truck, someone before us did add an aftermarket a/c kit, which looks to be something like you'd order out of a JC Whitney catalog back in the day. I haven't driven the truck in probably 12+ years (we traded it...

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    I agree the older compressors are junk, I'd be looking to make the system work with the LS compressor

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    I'm looking to use the compressor (and all accessories), pcm, wiring harness, and fuse block all from the donor '00 5.3 Sierra. Also looking to keep all a/c controls through that PCM as well, including control of electric fans.

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    If the VA kit was able to be customized to remove some of the stuff I don't need that might make the price easier to stomach. I also wouldn't be using the older C10 compressors, I'd be looking to use the donor compressor off of the LS in the factory mount, as well as the rest of the accessories...

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    What are his dislikes about the VA setup? I'm interested to know since so many people seem to go that route. I do agree it's going to be pretty involved, but I'm building the truck for Power Tour in June and would really like to have the a/c working when I get the truck running. As it is I live...

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    I started down the VA road actually as that was my first thought, but I don't want to drop about $2,000 on the VA system, and then still have to figure out how to adapt the compressor that comes with that system to the LS. Factory C10 components should be a lot more budget friendly, even with...

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    Looking to convert my heat only truck to full factory component A/C while I'm doing my 5.3 swap. Lines will be custom coming from the factory 5.3 compressor, but I want everything to be C10 factory style components from there onward. That being said, since I have an '86 C10 I believe I need the...
