    Replacing 454 gaskets opinion

    Personally, I'd do all of the above including head gaskets while it's out and easily accessible. That'll also give you a chance to inspect the bottom end and cylinder wall condition

    2 post shop lift

    Idk how comfortable you'd be with a used one, but a buddy of mine got a used BendPak from a shop that was going out of business. It was a 12k, only been used for about a year and he hired one of the mechanics to come help put it up. Then brought in an electrician to finish it up. Cost him ~3k...

    Suburban rear door jamb rust fix

    Oh I definitely understand. I hope it works out for ya and they're able to fix you up. I work in the restoration parts biz (AMD) and rust in that area always makes me cringe cuz I know how they're put together. It won't be easy but a skilled metal guy can do anything. Best of luck!

    2 post shop lift

    Personally, if cost were no object, I'd go 4 post with 2 slider tray jacks to have the ability to do it all. But that is like 1/3 more, my buddy just priced all that out. I've never worked on one but I've done alot of work on a 2-post and it can get sketchy. Our '07 Duramax fell off our 2-post...

    Suburban rear door jamb rust fix

    No, it's not impossible. But the problem is there's multiple layers of metal right there. There's the inner C-pillar structure, the door surround, the quarter panel and then the roof skin. If I were going to attempt it, I would cut the parts truck right behind the B-pillar and halfway down the...

    Rebuild or Swap?

    Period correct schmeriod correct, LS swap the world! lol For a budget build, especially a 4x4, I'd probably stick with a warmed over small block. Having a modern engine in front of a not modern trans (SM465, TH350/400) negates much of the advantages of doing an LS swap. If you want to also use...

    Fiberglass "sport" style camper shell 73-87 short bed

    Not happening lol. Though I would like to build another one a little milder and leave an auto in it for a cruiser, that's why I've kept the 65E and converter, just stuck it on a shelf. The stick is a pain certain times.

    Weird brake line

    That metal cable is your parking brake. It goes up and into the cab and hooks to the parking brake pedal/lever. What I've circled is your brake line, that's a hard line that goes through the backing plate into the wheel cylinder. Then the other end follows the axle housing, to a soft line back...

    Stuck E brake on 87 Scottsdale

    See the little star wheel on the bottom that's perpendicular to a shaft with threads on the bottom? You need to rotate that whichever way makes it retract into itself. That's the brake adjuster

    Fiberglass "sport" style camper shell 73-87 short bed

    Like the title says, looking to sell my Leer camper shell. It's a fiberglass "sport" style is what I call it, rather than the old "paw paw" aluminum style. I looked for a long time for one of these that was specifically for our trucks, they're very hard to come by. It's in great shape for the...

    Dangggg, that's a beauty right there! My buddy's in the market for a cheaper one and it's hard to find a budget version that isn't fubar'd

    Engine Crossmember Replacement

    Thanks! It's been quite the project, it's got a 5.3/T56 combo now and I'll actually be removing the whole crossmember/front suspension setup over the winter to replace with a TCI Engineering setup haha. I'm about 99.9% sure the cradle is the same for C20s as it is for C10s, just different...

    Will Headers work with TBI and older engine

    Honestly, shorty headers are a waste 9 times out of 10. There's not much in the way of gains to be had. Like @Catbox said, longtubes are the way to go if you don't have to worry about emissions. You'll gain both torque and horsepower with them. To be perfectly honest though, it sounds like...

    Where's the weld(s)?

    They're just spot welds, some have 2 in each location and some only had 1. But I've never seen a full bead (and doing R&D for AMD, I've looked at and taken apart a ton of these trucks lol). I ran a full bead on mine when I put the new floor in though

    Where's the weld(s)?

    No, they were all welded and then just had seam sealer over top

    Where's the weld(s)?

    Invision Gauges by Autometer

    Eh, I've seen it in person a few times. It's ok, but fairly cheese looking. I've heard it's function is just "meh" as well. For that price, I'd be sticking with Dakotas. If I was dead set on that style dash, I'd be putting a Holley engine management system in and using their screen, much better...

    Nasty gas tank

    Throw some B12 Chemtool or other fuel system cleaner in for the next 2-3 tanks too, that'll help clean all that varnish out of there
