    Cab swapping.

    Stick with '84-up to simplify the swap. A few minor things changed from '81-83 and '84-up like the windshield wiper controls going from the dash to the turn signal stalk, the floors are slightly different, etc.

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    OP still didn't address how big the rear leaf packs are. But looking at those pictures, I'd point the blame toward the tires. Those are way too big and I'd put money on them being load range E (10-ply) which is completely unnecessary on one of these half tons.

    Tripod mirrors on lowered trucks?

    You are outta your mind for painting that truck lol. But since that's what's happening, I'd slap the normal dumbo mirrors on it if you want to actually be able to see. The sport mirrors look great but they're useless. Also, just be aware that 95% (or maybe all of them, I'm not sure) of the...

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    I mean yeah, those fancy suspension kits are great and all but that's not really a necessity to get it to ride good. My truck is 5/8 on 20s and low pros and rides damn good for what it is. Nothing spills (as long as it's not super full) in the cupholders and I run this thing cross country on all...

    It's on my list of shows to make "some day". Yet again, not happening this year :(

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    How many leaves do the rear spring packs have? These trucks won't ever ride smooth like a new truck, but if it's got super heavy springs in the rear, removing springs or swapping for a softer leaf pack would be the first thing to do.

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    Ohhhhhhhhhhh I see. Yeah that would be tedious but not terrible to remedy. It also looks like it hit the barrel of the wheel, hopefully that was just dropping it coming off or on at some point. If it's hitting the main barrel, that's a bigger problem

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    I just read through the whole thread, started out as understanding the issue (or so I thought) and then just got confused lol. So lemme see if I'm understanding this right. Are you saying that the center bore of your new wheels... Won't go over the center hub of the rear drum? If that's...

    Old77's 1989 S10 tinkering project

    I've never been a little truck fan so I'd vote for chucking it and getting that K5. Or if you keep it, a little 4.8 is cheap and would move that thing plenty well

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I don't do sports at all, so I just make my dumb comments and everybody laughs lol

    Tripod mirrors on lowered trucks?

    That truck's got such killer patina and the mirrors match, no way I'd change them.

    Show your daily driver

    Bought some wheels off Marketplace yesterday. I've always LOVED these LTZs (or Texas Editions, or Vmax wheels, whatever you wanna call them). I've had the same wheels on 2 previous NBS trucks. No, I won't be running the 37s that came on them :lol: Was sitting on the couch at like 9 last...

    74 Adjusting tailgate latches

    I have to do that on my truck as well, pull the handle open and give it a strong shove, then release the handle before I back off of the shove. I've never looked into it, I'd definitely be interested to know if there is an adjustment. It may well just be that you/I need new hardware

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I'm definitely gonna have to pick your brain when the time comes. I've always planned to tackle the '85 myself but it's looking like the daily '05 will likely get painted first. The PO had it painted in single stage a few years ago (cuz it was cheap and the truck had done the typical Victory Red...

    Replacing 454 gaskets opinion

    My wallet will tell you I am the extreme of "while I'm here" :lol: My daily needs an oil pan gasket and rear main. You can guess what else it's gonna get while it's out since it's an LS :deal:

    Swapping out OEM distributor with HEI distributor

    Yeah, I read through that thread and think he's nuts lol. Trust me, I get what you're saying. But for the effort it takes to get it there and source the parts, especially when you're talking a lowly 305, it's not worth the hassle IMO. Better to just stab a regular distributor in, set it and go.

    Swapping out OEM distributor with HEI distributor

    I get what you're saying, adjustable timing is a huge benefit, but that factory '80s ESC system has never worked well even when new. Let alone 40yrs later when the replacement parts are getting harder and harder to get. My truck ran muchhhh better after we deleted the ESC. Set the timing at a...

    I tell ya, having access to our lift at work has been a godsend. If/when I don't have access to that anymore, I'll have to budget for one at home pretty quickly. I've gotten spoiled lol

    Discussion and Opinions on 83'-87' Builds

    Yeah, what's the planned usage for the truck? Also as far as the quad lights are concerned, just buy a truck that's already got them.

    Swapping out OEM distributor with HEI distributor

    As stated, that harness plug you're referring to is for the ESC computer (electronic spark control). The harness goes through the firewall and into a brain box that's mounted on the underside of the cowl, above the HVAC box. You're fine to run without it. Mine died and left me stranded in a...
