Emblem Restoration
They are made of pot metal. They may blow apart if you weld them. I bought new for my truck. I see you have the 2 headlight system. They do make Custom Deluxe 30 emblems for about $40 ea... -
Have a rollpan…. wants a bumper ….
In the case of a step bumper, it would be pretty easy. You just need two vertical cuts in the pan, but you my need longer brackets as the upper step of the bumper usually fits in the recess of the bed. The ends of the bumper would still be notched oddly though. Here is the after market bumper...- Craig 85

HVAC Question
Aurora girl is correct. If you punch the accelerator, you will lose vacuum in the system and the blend doors will open or close due to the loss of vacuum. The black ball by the brake booster is a reservoir to prevent that. The part you have circled would have to come from a junk yard. They... -
Blue HVAC line
Not really. I've only change 1 on my last two trucks (over the last 8 years). I ran into a problem on my current '85 where all the pods would hold vacuum, but the controller for the HVAC leaked. If course that valve is discontinued, so I had to buy a NOS controller. The valve is in the lower... -

'87 V1500 2" Lift Advice
@Redfish my '79 had a winch bumper and brush guard (350/350/203 & A/C). The welding shop way over built the brackets for this as the bumper was originally intended for a GMT-400 and the brush guard was for a Jeep J-10. It was heavy. No issues with sag in the 3 years it was set up this way...- Craig 85

'87 V1500 2" Lift Advice
My prior truck was a '79 K15. It had an old 4" stiff Rancho lift kit on it with a rear add a leaf and a 2" block (photo #1). When I added the 3/4 ton axles, I installed a Tuff Country EZ Ride 4" lift in the front. In the rear I removed the add a leaf and installed a 4" block. My truck had...- Craig 85

BBC 205 4l80e conversion
I agree with Shiftpro. I won't move the engine forward due to the weight bias. Since the transmission is longer than your TH-350, it would improve your front drive shaft angle ever so slightly. I know on my truck, even with only a 3" lift, the cardin joint looks close to binding if I real...- Craig 85

Marker Light Question…
No. There is a specific law that allows amber turn indicators facing the rear. Back in the early 90's a lot of Honda owner on our cruise route would swap the wiring for the amber turn signal and one of the brake/parking lights. You can't have amber brake light either. It was an easy ticket...- Craig 85

Clutch switch pigtail
For the connector shown, I would say yes, but I'm making an assumption because my truck is an auto. The picture I posted of the wiring diagram is out of my '85 GM shop manual.- Craig 85

Marker Light Question…
@AuroraGirl it's funny you mention California. We had so many crazy laws there. If you notice in the parts list above, there is a specific call out for Calif clearance lights. The state required any vehicle over 80" width had to have clearance lights. The thing that makes this truck require...- Craig 85

Clutch switch pigtail
So the OCD part of me kicked in. I looked in my shop manual and I think I found your part number if this is considered a neutral safety switch. GM 8917548. Of course it's discontinued, there is one on ebay right now. eBay Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275094311219 The connector originally...- Craig 85

Advice on GM 14 Bolt Corporate Full Float w/3.73 gears that are junk
I've had numerous 3/4 and 1 ton Squares over the years and all of them had 4.10 gears with a 454. My current K30 has 3.73's with a 454. I think I figured about why the others had 4.10's was because they all had the Z82 factory tow package. The person that ordered this K30 for some reason didn't.- Craig 85

1980 Heater System Explanation
Here an explanation of the air flow. Air enters the truck at the yellow arrow at the cowl. If you have an A/C truck, there is a plastic flap here that closes 80% of the fresh air flow off when on Max A/C. the air then comes out of the circle (where your fan motor is located) and into the... -

@Doppleganger the Covercraft door panel I bought are the dark gray versions. It matches the Charcoal sunvisors I got from USA-1. SEM makes interior paints too. Same type of prep as described above.
