    Keyless entry upgrade

    I am in the middle of an LS swap on my ‘87 square and I’d like to add the body control module from my donor to operate a keyless entry function on the truck. I have all the schematics, but I’m not having any luck on getting it to work correctly. Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to...

    Front body/radiator mounts RELOCATE?

    I’m putting an ‘87 body on a ‘74-‘75 frame. The ‘87 is long wheel base and the older one is short. I wanted a short bed. The older frame has more of a rounded nose while the newer frame has an open, slanted nose that bolts up to a bumper bracket. As you can see in the pictures, there is about...

    LS swap fuel system

    Thanks for the advice! After doing a bit more investigation, most people say the factory regulator is the way to go! Good to know. Thank you sir!

    LS swap fuel system

    I am currently working on a 5.3 LS swap in my squarebody. I have a question on the fuel system. I think I have what is called the “truck intake.” It’s the big ugly one. The fuel rail has an inlet and return and I’m assuming it also has a fuel regulator built into the rail. It has a vacuum...

    Does anyone have suggestions on how to install the bump stops on lower control arms? I don’t want to say I’ve tried everything, but I’ve tried all I know to do. Thanks!

    Leaf springs

    I am reconditioning my leaf springs. Plastic shims (I don’t know what else to call them) came off the ends of the leaf springs. It looks like they are there to keep the ends of the springs from slapping/clinging on the others. Is it necessary to put these back? If I don’t, what problems will...

    Suspension rebuild

    I’m rebuilding the suspension on my ‘87. I’ve put new bushings and ball joints in the lower control arms, but I’m replacing the upper, stamped control arms with tubular control arms. Do I need to reinstall the alignment shims with the new control arms?

    Master cylinder upgrade

    I’m in the middle of an LS Swap and I purchased an ‘02 Yukon as a donor. I was wondering if the ‘02 master cylinder would work on my squarebody. Truck is upgraded to disc/disc brakes. Would this swap make any significant difference? Should I keep a factory replacement. Thanks!

    Single Tank Bed

    It does have one door on the driver side. I wasn’t aware that dual tanks weren’t standard. Thanks.

    Single Tank Bed

    I bought an ‘87 square that I am rebuilding but the bed that came with the truck is not the original. This bed is has only one fuel tank. Does anyone know what year this bed would have been made?

    Springs or Spindles?
