    Just watched a couple videos, that's a nifty tool! For $100-150, I'll probably pick one up. I even got my buddy to tune the trans in this one and it still does that downshift to 3rd and unlock the converter just to gain 2mph on a small hill lol. I figure the 4.88s and a healthier torque cam...

    All good tips, I really appreciate it. I do plan to deburr everything, I've read about that as well as checking backlash and runout on the current setup and measuring all the current shims/bearings as they come out. Cleanliness is second nature, got plenty of brake clean lol For the clamshell...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I had a coworker that had one at one point, a 98 or 99 IIRC. He had aftermarket wheels on it! I asked him "where in the hell did you find wheels for that dumb thing??" He said American Racing made that bullet hole style wheel for those trucks for a very short time, he bought a set and they told...

    Definitely appreciate the advice! I'd thought about that for the setup bearings too, we have a wheel cylinder hone at work. It just basically needs to be a gentle slip fit, right? Just not sloppy? Good to know on the Delco gear marking compound, I'll pick some up. I've never done gears so any...

    Just brought home an 85

    For now, they only want to do the dual headlight version and see how sales go. If they sell well, then we'll do the single headlight as well

    Thanks guys! Hoping to start on the suspension rebuild Saturday evening or Sunday, prob gonna need more than 1 day to do it cuz I wanna clean and paint while I'm there too. Then the next thing will be saving for/buying the gears/rear posi/axle rebuild kits. Gonna get everything from Quick...

    Holley Retrobright radio interference solutions?

    Interesting. I didn't lose any FM ability with my RMS LEDs in my '85 but in all 8 of my NBS trucks, as soon as I install LED or HID lights, the radio reception goes to hell. Haven't tried anything to fix it, I just live with it and mostly stream music anyway

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The 7-lug trucks ran through the end of the '14 model year, it was a 7700 GVWR thing. Basically a heavy half for the already heavy half (F150 originated as the Ford version of a Heavy Half/Big 10 in '75 and F100s ran through '83 before it was dropped and they all were F150s). I too have some...

    Just brought home an 85

    I finally got approval to hunt one down for development after bugging them for YEARS to make at least the 83/84 GMC grille. We're gonna do the '83/84 and the '85-88 dual headlight grilles first and then go from there

    LMC Dash Pad Supplier

    Our's are Dashes Direct, looks like we've got one left in stock as of this writing. They fit great, I've put a couple in with no issue and I've talked to probably a few dozen others that have as well at this point, no complaints here...

    Yep, done my balljoints in my '85 twice now with the Harbor Freight version of that kit. Works well

    Considering how many 3yr old trucks I've seen up there with HUGE holes in the bedsides, rightfully so

    What have you done to your square lately??

    We don't have inspections or emissions in my county, so HA! Last I knew, only 13 of our 159 counties did emissions and none do inspections that I'm aware of

    And I got the 275/60/20 Hankooks swapped onto the LTZ's yesterday. Threw 2 on this morning before work just to see how they'd look. I honestly didn't think they'd clear at stock height, being a 33" but I have plenty of room on the pass side. They'll probably just barely rub where the washer...

    Last night I took account of all my parts to make sure I hadn't missed anything and assembled my UCA's

    Wired it between the power and ground, not the signal wire.

    Also got my new center caps out so I could put my new stickers on them and see what it all looks like. He made the bowtie a little smaller than the OE version but I don't mind it, kinda tones down the red Then got them and the 275/60s loaded up to go to the tire shop. Wasn't sure if 37s...

    So yesterday I drug the LTZ's out of the back yard to get them ready for the tire shop. They were nastyyyy, especially this on. It looks like it was probably on a corner with a dragging brake? Idk but that was some seriously caked on crap I used a combo of CG's red gel wheel cleaner, Dawn...

    Lol hopefully sometime over the winter or in the spring I'll score one. I've found a couple red ones either locally or a couple hours away but I either missed them or the seller wasn't very helpful in getting better pictures. Wanna get the gears bought first and then I'll really start looking a...
