    Radiator fan and shroud

    No it didn't have any of the braces. And I reused all the original mounts. I did have to get new inserts to the engine mounts.

    Radiator fan and shroud

    Howdy. I have a question about radiator and fan shroud. I recently replaced a tired 305 with an '88 5.7. Are they different in the way fan mounts to the water pump than the '86 305? I ask because the fan hits the shroud even after changing out the fan with the '86 fan and the '86 fan shroud. I...

    True paint code look!

    Good morning. I have an 84 GMC High Sierra 2500 with the paint being64L, 64 Desert Sand. Back in the 80's I had a similar truck, 84 GMC, with what appears to be the same color only a little lighter. Were there any deviations to the 64 paint code? I want to order paint but but I like the lighter...

    Saginaw Steering Gear Rebuild - Special Tools?

    YouTube has all kinds of videos on rebuilding Saginaw steering boxes. The only "special" tool needed would be a spanner wrench but you can use a needle nose pliers instead. Snap ring pliers are needed as well.

    Does anyone know if i have a 1 piece or two piece vent window?

    Take it apart and look at it. Since it's already broken and will be taking it out anyway. No sense in guessing what you have. My 2 cents.

    Trailer Wiring Adapter

    The plug configuration is different after '84. 84 and under is round with I think spade connectors whereas the 85 and up are a smaller diameter with pin connectors.

    Loose cab mount

    If it were me, I'd go at it with a regular 1/2" ratchet but only after I heated the bolt up and then I would tighten then loosen then tighten some more, work it back it forth until it comes completely out. Then run a wire brush over the threads and then wash it off with PB Blaster. Then spray...

    85 GMC k1500 flywheel cover

    I have the same thing on my truck. The dust covers are different. I believe the 2 wheel drive 700's had a dust shield made of light steel with two bolts/ screws on each side holding it on whereas the 4 wheel 700 case has 3 bolts on each side holding the dust shield on and was constructed of...

    Busted Alternator Bolt

    If the long bolt pictured is the one that sheared off, I'm thinking there's only a thread or two in the head. Shouldn't be too hard to back that broken piece out.

    wood dimentions

    No, they just give it that dimension before planning after it being cut from the log. Same as a 2x4 actually being 1.5"x3.5".

    Question about R4 "Pancake" AC compressors

    The only thing I know about them is maybe a reverse rotation be cause of either being mounted on the opposite side of the engine or perhaps from the serpentine belt system.

    86 4.3 v6 2 barrel options/emissions delete

    Depends, does your truck have a carb now? I would assume it does being an '86. But, it's most likely a 4 barrel so if you want to go to a 2 barrel you would have to change your intake to accommodate that.
