    Looking for Big Block headers for a K20 Burb

    Hey guys! Was curious what kind of headers you guys run on your big block 4x4s. 4 speed truck. My father in law would prefer some shorties that bolt up to the stock exhaust, but we are open to anything that will fit. Thanks! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    If you are looking into a smog legal aftermarket intake, this is the only one on the market for a big block http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/3761/10002/-1 Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    Hell yeah, this shop did me good! The motor is all original, being 40 years old it runs super clean! Had to go through every hose on the truck to fix vacuum and evap leaks, and tune the carb but it has no cats so it is easy enough Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    My smog shop didnt even look twice at them. They are old and once i got the truck back together they look like they have been there forever. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I don't know who made these ones, i got them from the junk yard and I cant find any markings. They look just like doug thorley tri-y headers but im sure that more than 1 company makes them. Thorleys are $700 [emoji43]...

    RETRO-Mod: Intermittent wipers in your 1976?-83 squarebody

    Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I got a 77 with factory pulse wipers that took a dump. Remember how you wired this up by chance?

    77 suburban pulse wipers, need help!

    Hey guys! Been a while since I was on here, how have you all been? Anyways, my 77 suburban came factory with pulse wipers, but the switch fell apart and I had zero luck finding that switch. I did some research and found that I can swap in a 78 or newer wiper motor, switch, and relay. I...

    Fixed gear indicator, polished gauge lenses, and installed a tach. Thinking about what else to do today.

    Id say a safe guess is around 12 or 13. Dont know about the trucks, but in suburbans 454s seem to get better mileage than the 350s. My 77 burb bone stock with ca smog gets about 15 at 50-55 mph with 4:10 gears

    Putting 3/4 ton suspension on 1/2 ton 2wd Suburban

    Good shit man. Would be cool if I dont need the conversion joint for the 14 bolt. Anyone know where to score a set of 8 lug 15" wheels?

    Putting 3/4 ton suspension on 1/2 ton 2wd Suburban

    I don't have the need for 4x4 in this rig, it's a weekend cruiser and camping rig. I want the 3/4 ton stuff for peace of mind, and because I feel the suspension is a little too soft. The rear end tends to bounce with weight in it, and the front springs, although heavy half for the 454, are...

    Putting 3/4 ton suspension on 1/2 ton 2wd Suburban

    Putting 3/4 ton suspension on 1/2 ton 2wd Suburban

    Yeah, that was my first thought when I saw it. Explains why the brake pedal was hard when I drove it the few miles home. Here are a few pics of my unpolished turd. As I keep finding problems, I may start a build thread.

    Putting 3/4 ton suspension on 1/2 ton 2wd Suburban

    That is the plan, unfortunately the salvage yard I went to only had 2 square bodies and both were 4x4. Another question, what would you call the very front cross member under the radiator where the break proportioner and brake lines are bolted to? I'll take a pic tomorrow. This one looks like...

    Putting 3/4 ton suspension on 1/2 ton 2wd Suburban

    Alright, cool. I'll just plan to pick up a crossmember as well when I'm at the salvage yard. Thanks for the help man! Had a hard time finding all the info in one spot.

    Putting 3/4 ton suspension on 1/2 ton 2wd Suburban

    Good to know. If I had the full front end setup off a c20 it should all bolt on correct? I just figure since the front end is getting ripped apart anyways (eats front tires like crazy), I may as well beef it up a bit. Thanks for the tip!

    Putting 3/4 ton suspension on 1/2 ton 2wd Suburban

    Hello all! I'm new to the forum, and I have a few questions for the well educated. I'm getting a sweet clean 77 c10 suburban, 454/TH400 for $400, the prior owner is even smogging it for me (I'm in California) My issue with the truck is that the suspension & front end are worn out, rides...
