    Corp 14 bolt brake line difference question

    Well that makes this all the more confusing... this is a C20. Although it is the crew cab which I've read somewhere all CC, even the c20 versions, are on the 1 ton chassis so maybe that does make sense. I'll find some tube and bend my own lines. Shouldn't be too hard on that axle.

    Corp 14 bolt brake line difference question

    I have two corporate 14 bolt ff axle as a result of a 4x4 conversion i'm working on. I mention this because they each have different brake lines/routing and I can't seem to find the set I need. On the RCLB donor chassis, the brake hose between the chassis rail and the axle sits right above the...

    Frame & undercarriage advise!

    I was in Gages Lakes for about 2 years while working out there. It was a nice area to be. I'd recommend against POR-15. it's a great product and does well. But it really requires effort to install. My brother is pretty religious about fluid film on his FJ and that seems to hold up nicely (we...

    Hello from San Diego

    I'm in a tiny part of the very north east side, Pauma Valley. As a crow flies, it's basically between Temecula and Escondido.

    Which aftermarket LED headlights?

    I've got the Hella H4 conversions in my Wrangler, the Hella retrobright yellow in my Avanti, and a set of the Morimoto Sealed7 in my CJ5. In terms of light performance, the Morimotos are hands down the best. Also the most modern looking with the stepped cut off, 6000K light color etc. The...

    Mystery Connector

    Single green wire. Are we sure this isn't a side marker lamp wire?

    Mystery box on kick panel

    Well I'll be damned. Very cool. This truck is just full of surprises... found out, while taking apart the dash for a deep cleaning, it's also a factory AC truck.

    Mystery box on kick panel

    Need help identifying this Dana Corporation box that was screwed to the kick panel behind the parking brake. All the wires were cut where they passed into the engine bay. The only thing connected is (was) what looks like a photogate sensor. No model/part number on the box.

    Gas to Diesel swap, question on fueling

    :emotions133: I'm leaning toward to the dual. Doesn't seem any more expensive than a quality inline. And I have the bed off so access to replace them is just as easy.

    Gas to Diesel swap, question on fueling

    Red3833's post with the diagrams and explanation of using the sniper output is kind of the swap I was thinking about doing. I appreciate the feedback on the inline. My biggest concern, especially since I'm going to be dealing with a diesel, is having the inline pump not have enough suction...

    Gas to Diesel swap, question on fueling

    Not to split hairs... but TECHNICALLY it's an International Harvester part connected to a ZF part connected to a Borg Warner part. :D Although I'm going to replace the borq warner part with a New Process part. Plus, no worse than people putting a Dodge part (6BT) in a square body. Actually, I...

    18' trailer behind my Superduty. 89 Suburban 2wd.You'll be good. Take some extra ratchet straps to hold the ramps up in case the pin holes don't line up.

    Gas to Diesel swap, question on fueling

    I'm reaching to the forum for recommendations/feedback/thoughts on fueling systems. I've been on the different square body forums looking up the function of the dual tank and the Pollack valve. Seems pretty straight forward. I don't like that it relies on the suction from the engine's mechanical...

    Brakes still dont work.

    Did you replace the booster? If so, did you adjust the set screw on the booster shaft? if it's not set correctly it won't engage the MC at the right time. I've made this mistake a few times.

    The ENTIRE C20 cross member is about 12 bolts and it drops right out as an assembly.

    8' bed question

    This confirms what I was thinking earlier. I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why the trailering special cab would have the camper special bed. Someone in the truck's history swapped the bed. Great for me since I'm planning on putting the "77" bed on the 81.

    8' bed question

    Still confused why my Trailering Special cab has a Camper Special bed on it though. Only assume it was swapped. Somehow I managed a 77 with the fuel doors and the camper tie downs.

    8' bed question

    You guys are right. I didn't look close enough at the two beds. Turns out the PO on my 81 installed some diamond plate thing at the front of the bed and it's removed about 2" from the length. They're both 8' beds although the floor measures 99". Diamond plate non-sense in question: When I...

    8' bed question

    I'm going to ask a stupid question about the bed length. In my defense I've been trying to search information but I don't think I have the correct search terms. I have a 1981 C20 3+3 with the 8' bed. It's in a sorry state and I'm thinking about replacing it. I also have a bed off a 1977 K20...

    Hello from San Diego

    Still working my way through the site, but if there's a build section I'll start a thread. Not great at remember photos and/or to upload them but I'll do my best.

    Hello from San Diego

    Hi all, Been lurking on the forum for a short while now. Huge wealth of knowledge here. Finally decided I should sign up. I'm playing Frankenstein trying to create a truck I will enjoy. Been accidentally gathering parts for about 3 years now. Haphazardly, never really intended to do this...
