    SBC 350 78 GMC K25 engine mounts and traingle brackets?

    Not sure if anything changed over the years, but the lower bracket in your pics went on the passenger side with the 5.7 donor block that came out of a '97 suburban. The lower flex plate cover (heavy aluminum) and torque rods from that suburban also all bolted right up to the T400. Love the...

    396 with Edelbrock 1406 running issue

    Can you catch it when it sputters and rev it up a bit or does it just die?

    Interior Package

    You guys definitely have me reevaluating my choice to replace it all. Am really not a fan of the red on green. Will probably look to try something different for a color. Not quite sure yet. Probably look for one that is close to what was offered then.

    Interior Package

    Gotta love the Klondike! A few pics of what pops up out of the permafrost. A young woolly mammoth tusk, some sort of ancient buffalo horn maybe and of course the thing that put it in the history books!

    Interior Package

    Awesome! I will be looking further into this when I get back to town. Am up in the Klondike now for a few weeks fixing mobile gold mining equipment. Hopefully don't run over any of the Gold Rush camera crew in a blind corner.

    Interior Package

    Thanks guys! Upholstery shops seem to have gone extinct in these parts. Kind of like parts salvage yards. Pretty simple interior in this truck. Hadn't thought of dying anything. Does that work very well on plastic door panels? Have only seen someone do it once years ago from red to black on...

    Interior Package

    My door panels are red and badly scuffed. Seat belts faded with sticking retractors and although the dash is in great condition, it is grey. Also, picked up a seat cover from LMC that has a poor fit for the bench in it. Does anyone have recommendations for where a person can go to get a complete...

    rebuilt sbc Oil pressure

    Rebuilt is a term that is easy to throw out there. What all was done with it? Any block work?

    Starter not disengaging, shim it?

    It is on a bracket in dash just left of the ashtray on mine, but it is CUCV (originally 6.2). They do not have the same harnesses. Just brought it up in the event it was an oversight.

    Starter not disengaging, shim it?

    Is there not a start relay is this system that is known to stick as well?

    Adding a headrest to a bench seat

    Giving this a bump. Has anyone successfully added a headrest to the factory low back benches? The bench in mine is in great shape and is very comfortable. They would make a great addition. Have an uncle that was rear ended by a high speed cube van in his old ford pick up. His head went through...

    Sad Discovery: GM 10 Bolt Fails

    Honestly don't remember it all. Don't believe that valve was in that truck and it was only a year and a half old when I grabbed it. I do remember the shoes were larger in diameter but a fair bit narrower with the replacement axel. A lot more grab than it was meant to have leaving the factory...

    Sad Discovery: GM 10 Bolt Fails

    I remember having crazy rear brake lock up issues with an '85 2500 after swapping out it's blown rear axel back in the late 80's. Imagine you could have a similar problem and may need to play with your proportioning valve a bit. Good luck and nice to see you will have it rolling again.

    Problematic Starting - rotate crank before starter engages?

    Sounds like the starter is engaging but the bendix is slipping. Have you tried another starter?
