    Headers and exhaust for a V3500

    I don't know which year or motor you're working with but it should be basically the same as a similar mid 80's 1 ton.

    Cracked TH350 case

    With respect to the heavy duty “K” cases, I’ve never noticed much difference in case thickness or extra ribbing, etc. The only real difference I’ve seen is the converter cover flanges being wider, thicker and threaded for the thick converter covers. Note: my experience is with th400’s

    Is the polished/chrome tailgate cap stock, on my 87.

    I don't own an OBS truck but from what I remember their tailgates are noticeably thicker than a square body tailgate.

    Nice score on the crew cab. 2wd?

    Thornbird or Super Swampers?

    It's not Thornburg, it's Thornbird Most of the Interco tires are bias ply, this means short tread life (avg less than 20k even if well maintained) and the potential for flat spotting. All of the Interco tires are noisy, it's the nature of aggressive tread patterns with large voids. Tires...

    Missing sway bar bolts. Anyone know what size they are?

    The bottom of the "shackle" bolts to the u-bolt plate and the sway bar eye connects to the upper hole in the shackle. Lots of Youtube videos and pics on Google.

    305 to 454 swap

    I have a huge 4 row radiator in my Blazer but it’s from a CUCV so parts places can’t look it up military trucks. I could tell you it’s the same as the same year civilian truck but thats as “vague” as my first post. Note: diesel radiators have different size hose necks that have to be dealt with...

    305 to 454 swap

    I thought I did that except for specifying a year (‘81+ interchange).

    305 to 454 swap

    Use a mid 80’s 1 ton truck with a 454 and HD cooling option as an application. With a bigger radiator you’ll also need the brackets and fan shroud. A 7 blade fan with a severe duty fan clutch is always a great upgrade.

    Bent fuel pump rod

    That’s a big piece of steel to bend. I too question if the pump is correct. Also, any work done on the front of the motor? One of the bolt holes goes all the way to the push rod cavity, too long and it will lock the rod in place (which could result in a bent rod after turning the motor over).

    Front frame bracket

    That’s a steering box brace, there’s not one on the passenger side.

    How to fix my Front Axle not alligning

    You need to be measuring from frame locators, not the body. Body mounts have a small amount of adjustability designed into them so it is possible for the cab (or bed, etc) to be off center, even slightly diagonal, on the frame. Find similar riveted brackets on each side of the frame and use...

    14bolt FF size vs 10bolt

    Since there’s no inner u-bolt against the diff, the axle pictured is either a D60 or a Dodge D44 as both of these had studs or bolts on the inboard side of the passenger side leaf spring. GM version D44’s and 10 bolts both had 2 u-bolts in the above mentioned position. Edit: if it’s a Dodge...

    What’s the best way to fix/clean up this wiring problem?

    What are all the extra wires for? If those are all accessories (aka not bypassed factory circuits) then I’d add a secondary fuse/relay panel and pull the power for those accessories from there. Blue Sea Systems makes a wide range of well made products including fuse/relay panels. I’d get...
