    Sticky thread for lowering C10s?

    You're right about the spindles but wrong on the springs. Cutting the spring only 1 coil isn't going to affect the rate or throw the geometry off so bad it can't be realigned. More than 1 coil gets sketchy the more you go an can cause issues as well. Heating the springs with a torch to lower...

    Sticky thread for lowering C10s?

    I haven't forgotten about this. I'm 5 pages deep on a word document so I can copy/paste an get it all posted at one time. Hopefully I'll have it up sometime this week.

    Vent Windows

    Precision is the only brand seal you should buy. All of LMCs rubber products I've used have looked like crap in a couple of years. You can buy a kit from precision or there are various resellers of their stuff as well summit carries them as far as I remember. There is no way to tell year wise...

    Sticky thread for lowering C10s?

    Is it leaf spring or trailing arm? I have a good setup for those too, but it isn't cheap.

    Sticky thread for lowering C10s?

    You won't fail man, if you have any questions just ask. I don't know your time frame on when you want to get parts or anything but I'll see if I can get some stuff together for a suspension sticky over the next few days. Also before you order spindles you need to know if you have 1" or 1.25"...

    I could do one but everyone is so hung up on buying a "kit" that they don't usually listen.

    Sticky thread for lowering C10s?

    There are alot if threads about it. Here's my opinion on it if you are on a budget or not. Front: 2.5" spindles doesn't really matter who's, they are all pretty much the same. 2" drop spring (or cut 1 coil from your current factory spring) Kyb GR2 344068 for shocks. Rear: Flip kit with new u...

    Playing with hookers today. 10 out of 10!

    Personally I would like to see if the readings are close to each other or not. Maybe by adding a second wide band gauge for the after y position. That's not a cheap option though. I doubt it would work well on mine because the y is way back at the rear of the trans. The manifolds look good. I...

    Front Brakes

    Yes CPP and Detroit speed both make kits that style for 2wd C10s. There might be others but those are two I know of.

    Holley sniper install questions

    Do not "piggyback" sensors, it makes for bad readings on both ends. Put the temp sensor in the other head. It will perform better during warm-ups. I would avoid the master kit, instead invest in an 87 tank, sending unit an a fuel pump from a 96 C1500 5.7l. In tank pumps are much more reliable...

    OER Fender Quality?

    The premium ones from key parts are numbers 0850-003 and 0850-004 for 73-80. They run about 250 each on summit but are out of stock at the moment.

    My’04 Mustang GT

    Nice, I had a 03 loaded in true blue metallic I think. Had a full SLP LM1 exhaust an long tubes. It's was a fun car for sure. I miss it anytime I hear one go by with an exhaust. My last mustang was a 96 with the 2.73 rear gears. It got great fuel mileage but would barely spin the tires in the...

    Whos Square is bagged???

    I have choppin block a-arms, 1" forward but not narrowed, 2.5" drop spindles an 2600 bags. Lays the front crossmember hard with no/custom inners. 245/40 tires but I need new ones an I think I'm going up to a 255/45. I have more room now with the tube arms so I'd like a little more sidewall...

    Half Light duty brakes half heavy duty

    Possibly wrecked an they did a whole suspension replacement on one side from a Donor without checking brake size? Unfortunately I've seen lots of hack job stuff where people just slap something together

    CPP Upper Control Arms and Shims

    Personally, leave the thick spacer an take the rest of the shims out an have the shop start from scratch. The CPP arms have geometry improvements over stock. If you don't leave them out they will try to just set your toe an say the rest was "good enough" Ask for these specs as well. At least...

    Seat frame an seat mockup finished this evening. Got about 8 hrs in it so far probably. I think they fit pretty well. Time to start chopping up the console...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I actually worked on my truck today! Started on installing my 08 Sliverado seats. I'm using another truck that has the interior stripped for the frame mockup. Full Install thread to come once I have it all figured out...

    6 Speed Swap

    I have a factory high hump because I thought I might need it for the 5 spd. I was hoping not to for this one too. At least I have it just in case.

    6 Speed Swap

    You've seen/done it? I've not found anyone that mentions extensive floor mods in a truck for one yet? It also looks smaller than my NV3500 which fits the stock low hump. It is admittedly close in places but it didn't require any mods other than the shifter hole.

    Door window glass alignment

    All the replacement glass run kits are 73-80 and 81+. So the glass changed in 81 an not before (imo, I've never measured them) the only real difference is the runs an thicker to make up for the thinner glass. So if you had 81+ runs an a 80 an older glass it would probably be really tight. I...

    6 Speed Swap

    I used a factory mechanical pedal set, and a wilwood master with my NV3500. It uses the same internal slave as a LS1 T56 so you could do the same. The mechanical pedals are easier to come by an much cheaper. My 5 spd swap is here: https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/nv3500-swap.16360/ I'm...

    6 Speed Swap

    If you have or are going to bucket seats you can keep the rear mount shifter. If you want to keep the bench then a mid shift conversion is needed. Other than that there are several kits out on the market now that have everything included. I picked up an LT1 T56 a few weeks ago for stupid cheap...

    Qjet to FITech 3003, couple questions

    Sniper all the way. The Fitch isn't as user friendly an they will not give you any computer software for it so you have to do everything through the small screen. Installation errors are the root cause of 90% of people's issues. The other are not wanting to learn the systems or program them...
