    Finding smog pump 1985 Chevy K20

    Sorry for coming back to the party late (got sent out of town for work). I just went through the garage, and I couldn't find it. I can't imagine I threw it out, so it must be in my storage unit. I'll try to get over today and check, but I think it's going to look just like the '85

    Slow Climb To The Top

    Modulator valve dead? Or vacuum line popped/disconnected? I don't have a lot of experience with transmissions (TH400), but when mine became disconnected, my trans acted really goofy. Also, there's a yellow wire under the dash that I disconnected on accident. Had some weird effect on the...

    Finding smog pump 1985 Chevy K20

    I took the smog pump off of my '83. I'll see if I can dig it up, and get some pictures

    Sound about right for some weight reduction issues?

    So my '83 K20 has some weight reduction making itself known, so I figured it's time to get in there and do something about it. I've got a few significant issues (holes), and quite a few more little rust spots. Was going to use the process outlined in the link below for the holes, and was...

    Exhaust Cut-Out Performance

    So if y'all saw my previous post, you know I installed an exhaust cut out on my '83 K20 a month or so ago. Two to one exhaust, long tube headers, reworked 906 heads, vortec intake and a Summit 1103 cam. Been a blast cruising in the ol' girl! Love having the 'fun switch' for some light strip...

    Daughter's Exhaust Cutout Reaction

    So, I bit the bullet, and installed the 'fun' switch. I've basically got a two into one exhaust, and installed an Summit electric cut out right before the muffler. Checked it out in the neighborhood, and all seemed to be working, with no exhaust leaks. Went for a test drive, and took my 17...

    Lift or rebuild stock?

    I've attached some pics of the both rear leaf springs, and one pic of the front. The rear corrosion is what I'm really concerned with, the fronts actually don't look too bad. What are y'alls thoughts on their condition? Thanks again!

    Lift or rebuild stock?

    Thanks for the reply! I think this is the way. I need shocks anyway, so I'll probably just grab those, and replace the clamps as well!

    Lift or rebuild stock?

    Evening folks! Welp, I've got my '83 K20 just about dialed in, performance wise. And man, do I love driving the old girl. Constantly coming up with reasons to take her for a cruise! lol Decided I was going to go on and change both diff fluids, and the NP208 fluid to boot. Got under there...

    Pressure Washing Question

    Thanks Drifter! I didn't think there was any reason not too, but I'll be careful with the breathers just in case!

    Pressure Washing Question

    Probably a stupid question, but I'm wanting to replace both diff fluids, as well as the transfer case fluid. The old girl has quite a bit of crusted up gunk on the cases. I've done some light scrubbing, but it's on there pretty good. Can I just soak with a bit of degreaser, and pressure wash...

    Headliner what to do

    I'll go back and look for the details, but the wife and I ordered some headliner material (with foam) on Amazon (I think) that matched the original color pretty well. Some spray glue and some elbow grease, and it was as good as new!!!

    What tire size you running and pic for bonus.

    I'm really digging those rims. Details??? Also, that's a great looking rig!

    Spreadbore to squarebore adapter

    Hey y'all! I couldn't find a dual plane adapter, so I made one. Basically, cut a notch in my existing adapter (like the one that 82sbshortbed posted), and slapped in a piece of aluminum flatbar. I didn't really need to, but I RTV'd the slots after I inserted the flat bar. The change in...
