    Truck 10 bolt or Truck 12 bolt

    I'll throw another thought out there. The early 90's 1/2 ton 454SS pickups had a SF 14 bolt 5 lug set up.

    Hunt for the Right Color / Paint Code Needed

    Here's my old '87 GMC K20. Picture is from 1989 when I bought it. It was the non-metallic dark blue with the charcoal middle. Unfortunately, I don't know the color code of the grey. I do know on my '79 K15, photo 2, was #18 Charcoal Metallic (18, 8052, WA8052) which is close. No I wasn't...

    New axles from 1500 to 3500?

    The chassis cab axle is narrower and I don't think it will even fit between your springs. Here's a shot of the rear end on my SRW K30. You can see the shocks are opposite of yours and on the inside of the frame, but if you didn't know, C/K 30 trucks have the springs inboard of 1/2 and 3/4 tons...

    454 kit-bash build

    Looks pretty similar to the Ram Jet 502.

    New axles from 1500 to 3500?

    I've done two 1/2 ton to 3/4 axle swaps. I've done a 14 bolt FF in one and a SF in the other. I agree the CUCV will give you 4.56's with a Dana 60 front with a 14 bolt FF in the rear with a Detroit locker, but the rear will need the spring perches and shock mounts modified. Also one of the...

    Insurance

    I have State Farm. They won't insure mine for stated value until I paint it. I currently have full coverage insurance zero comp and $250 collision. Hargerty is about $200 more a year. I have plenty of receipts so I'm sure with some fighting, I could much of what I currently have into it.

    Headliner/interior trim

    Install the rear corners first, then the front pillars. Once those are positioned it's easier to install the metal strips. I did it on my '79' I don't recall the screw sizes though. I may have just bought the screw kit from LMC.

    Swapping from 14B semi-float to 14B full float

    FYI C/K 30 axles have the shock mounts reversed from your C20 and the spring perches are closer to the frame due to the narrower spring mounts. CCUV is basically a K30 with some minor differences. As said before, going from a SF 14 bolt to a FF 14 bolt you will need to lengthen the driveshaft...

    Cheesy aftermarket (?) screw-on tie-down anchor - Anybody have one? - Found! Thanks, Joe!

    My K5 had those when I bought it in 1991. Originally it had a factory fiberglass roof rack that I took off. It had always been in the SF Bay Area. Those hooks were everywhere.

    On my '85 the engine oil cooler lines go through those holes.

    Windshield gasket with groove for trim?

    I worked for a city that had square bodies in the fleet. I recall those base model trucks did not have a lock strip front or rear, because it was different than the Square bodies I had at the time. I'm sure it's much easier using the lock strip style than not. It wasn't too hard installing...

    Windshield gasket with groove for trim?

    Base trucks did not have the grove. I know when I installed the new rear glass on my '79 I used the base style gasket as I was switching to black trim in the front and didn't see a reason to spend the extra money on the two piece rear.

    High beams on 86 C10

    It's called a multi-function switch if you have to replace it.

    Windshield gasket with groove for trim?

    I'm guessing it's the same thing.

    Drop Height Fiasco

    Before you do any trimming on the coils, be sure they are in the spring pocket correctly. If it is not seated it can cause the height issue.

    75 C30 leaf spring hanger replacement/relocation queries.

    I've never had a chassis cab to compare, but I have had a 3+3 Dually. But from everything I've read, the answer to your statement is probably yes. @AuroraGirl my K30 had those factory tips on it when I bought it in 2016. It even had the OEM mufflers. Isn't that California rust just terrible...;)

    Noob mirror question . .

    The lettering will be upside down. LMC is the only one I know of that has new convex mirrors. FYI the van mirrors and the P/U have a different mirror arms. You can see here the van has a curve. The one you have pictured is for a P/U.
