    Bypass hose

    I haven't run the bypass hose in forever. Just a couple 1/4" holes in the thermostat. K

    87 burb master cylinder

    Lastly - my humble opinion: I'd put the same as what's on there back on there. When I was a brake engineer for GM I decided I wanted to go from the cast iron unit to the plastic on my drag car, for weight savings. I tried probably a dozen different GM offerings, both obvious and obscure...

    87 burb master cylinder

    Need a bit more detail. 1/2 ton? 3/4 ton? 2wd or 4wd? Here's some of the brake charts I have scanned ('86 should be the same) to give you an idea of the proliferation. K

    87 burb master cylinder

    This is correct; there's a million ways for it NOT to work. I would add some systems the front port goes to the front brakes and rear to rear; other systems the front port goes to the rear and rear to front. One more thing to look out for. K

    Lowering truck

    I've done dozens at 3/4 and 4/6 (including the red truck in my avatar) and never shortened the shaft. K

    What is this? (LSPV Valve)

    Sorry - we moved last week and the big book of brake part numbers is buried somewhere. I haven't even found my razor and toothbrush yet. I would do what Craig (most recently) and the others have suggested. The rear height sensing valve was added as a FMVSS108 "test beater" before antilock...

    Paint name & code

    If it's a 75 it's got a later hood on it (with the bump at the front). K

    4 speed saginaw for 60$

    I had my reverse lights wired to a toggle as well. That way I could hook up the trailer at night. K

    Paint name & code

    I believe you are correct. I'm saying that sample truck is about a '78; looking in the generic info packet: www.gm.com/content/dam/company/no_search/heritage-archive-docs/vehicle-information-kits/chevrolet-trucks/1978-Chevrolet-Truck.pdf It shows 23U as "Hawaiian Blue" and 20L as "Lite...

    4 speed saginaw for 60$

    Yes - you would gain one gear. (!) Plus the "fun factor". I'd do it. The Saginaw is a sweet little trans. You'd have to do something for a shifter, assuming you are now column shifted. Hurst makes a number of (what used to be) inexpensive floor stick shifts. There are a bunch of different...

    stealth

    Thank you. I painted my Farmall in the garage and that was 30 years ago and four houses ago and I'm still finding stuff with red overspray on it. K

    stealth

    Doubling back to these pictures: did you paint it right there, where it sits? How did you manage all the red overspray? K
