    Awesome, thanks!

    I believe a lot of us use the dark background too. There is a lighter one of course, but I find light backgrounds on any forum to be annoying. Not sure why, but I do.

    1980 K10 SWB bed mount bolt hole spacing

    Do you want an actual measurement from a frame, or is the bolt head spacing in the bed good enough?

    33s on 2wd?

    Are they slotted mags? If so, US Mags makes an old style slotted mag, in 8-lug, but in a 17" diameter. They are either 9 or 10 inches wide, can't remember. I've never seen a set in person yet, but they are on my "wish list".

    33s on 2wd?

    There's still quite a few 16.5's available, but only a small handful of radials. I believe Interco still offers a 33x12.5x16.5 in their Vortrac model, which I've heard is a pretty decent tire. As far as the 12.00x16.5's go, it seems to be a dead size for light truck use. There's a couple steer...

    Best Locker for 14Bolt FF in 85 K30

    Yeah, apparently they went from calling it Gov Lock, to calling it G80 (which is misleading because other GM cars with a limited slip differential also got the G80 RPO) to calling it the M Locker. The one G80 video only states that it won't engage at high speeds and the M Locker video simply...

    Gear Ratio

    Yep, looks like moisture got to it. It's worth paying attention to where the diff vent is placed. On one of my trucks, rain water would run from the bed and onto the frame. The water would then run under the top flange of the frame (much like a roof without a drip edge) and run right into the...

    33s on 2wd?

    Here are the 12.00x16.5's which are very close to a 33x12.5 tire.

    Heavy vibration at highway speed under load

    Agreed. The fact that it only happens under load leads me to believe the same. Also, when there's a bunch of rotational slop in a drive shaft, folks always tend to blame the ring and pinion being incredibly worn. But the ring and pinion interface does not directly engage any axle shaft...

    33s on 2wd?

    I've run many tire sizes on my C20 Suburban. I've run 285/75/16 all the way around, on GM 16x6.5" wheels. I've run 33x12.5x16.5 on the rear, on 9.75" wide wheels. I've run 12.00x16.5 (very similar to 33x12.5x16.5's) all the way around, on 9.75" wide wheels. I've also run 35x12.5x16 all around...

    Replacing DVOM batteries

    I have the exact same one. I went several years without using it. When I went to use it again, it was dead of course. When I opened up the battery compartment, I found a bunch of corrosion and destroyed contacts. You probably should open it up before you worry about what batteries to use.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The problem with dye is that it won't really show you much more than what you already know. You have already witnessed the places coolant has been leaking. The Harbor Freight coolant pressure test kit is pretty good for the money. With a pressure tester, you can simulate the higher pressure...

    Column Gear Shift Detent

    Iirc, @yevgenievich had a thread several years ago that covered the differences in those shift gates.

    Rear shackle angle

    Say what now? When the spring compresses, it will move the shackle to a more horizontal position, not vertical.

    Rear shackle angle

    Looks pretty good to me. That angle is about what I would shoot for personally. Also, swapping them side to side ain't lazy... it's simply doing things the right way :)

    Lock ring repair on a steel tank?

    Imho, that tank is hashed. The time spent fooling with repairing it will outweigh the cost of a new tank.

    Sirius/XM "Roady" with original GM truck radio

    All this talk of cassette adapters is bringing back some memories I had forgotten about. It was probably 1999 when I last used a cassette adapter. I used it in GM radios with the auto reverse... for some reason I remember there was a very easy way to cancel the auto reverse feature. I also...

    No ma'am. From what I recall seeing in the picture, his crossmember is installed correctly, along with the brace on the one side. Besides that, the 4x4 crossmembers are not positioned correctly for a 2wd trans mount. I'll try to get some pictures rounded up so you can better see how the 2wd...

    Mystery Tachometer

    Yeah, I thought it was only to keep the gauge from swinging back and forth with fuel slosh. But I know I've swapped around fuel gauges in multiple GM cars and trucks and they read correctly. Pickups, Burbs and K5's all interchange, regardless of tank size. I even had an '83 S10 fuel gauge in my...

    Mystery Tachometer

    I thought all the GM gauges were 0-90 ohm? Different height tanks used a sender with more or less swing in the float arm.

    Yeah, one of those ^^^ hooligans will need to look into it. Either us regular moderators don't have those kinds of tools to fix it, or we are just too dumb to figure it out :rofl:

    Cheap, ugly, rusty S-10

    Lol, I must admit that I did like the interior treatment. It was just so ridiculous that I couldn't help but like it. There was a certain charm to it, I guess you could say :rofl:
