    Rised white letter or blackwall

    Here was my '87 K20 in June of '89 when I bought it. Came with black wall out.

    Rised white letter or blackwall

    Here's a few of my trucks over the past 30+ years. The most recent photo of the group is the red CC in 1995. You can guess my answer...

    Blue Print or GM Performance

    A few years back I did a GM replacement 454. I went that route incase I had a problem, I could go to a GM dealer to fix it.

    Rear view mirror, where does it go?

    Just make sure it clears the bottom of the sun visors and your good.

    Total body swap

    Contact your Highway Patrol or DMV to see how it gets registered once you're done. Take a bunch of photos of the process, VINs and any paperwork. When I lived in California, vehicles were titled by the VIN on the frame. Others here have said their state is by the body. Just confirm you know...

    Need H6 AC compressor brackets for 454

    The hoses were custom made on the truck. We had originally planned to follow the OEM path of the hoses, but it worked out better to run the one behind the air cleaner. I no longer live in Northern CA, but I went to B & F Auto Air Conditioning (530) 478-9369. Bill is the owner and is...

    84 454 belt replacement

    Here's how my Sanden compressor is set up. I got the bracket from Vintage Air. It uses the power steering pump as the tensioner.

    Painting dash pad

    I used Duplicolor on my last truck. Never had any issues. I will be using SEM for this one as no one else carries the color I need.

    Anybody recognize these seats?

    This is probably correct, they just don't have pictures the cloth seats on their page anymore.

    CUCV Torque Slip (TH400)

    Not to get too far off your topic, but you can probably get by with a 4" lift with 35's as long as they are not too wide. I have a 3" lift on my K30 with 33's (305/70R16) with 16x10 wheels (4.5" BS). My K30 with a 3" lift is an inch taller than my old '79 K15 with a 4" lift due to the taller 1...

    Procomp 69 center caps

    To add to the previous post, the center bore of the Pro Comp wheel is 5.15." That is the same as my American Racing Baja's. Any Metal cap that size should work.

    Need H6 AC compressor brackets for 454

    No problem. I had all of my brackets, but the OEM hoses were bent and the compressor frozen. To me it wasn't worth paying to fix/find the OEM parts for about the same price as the aftermarket. I sold the brackets to someone else on the forum. The nice part about the aftermarket setup is the...

    Need H6 AC compressor brackets for 454

    At the time of the photo I lived in CA and had to have the truck smogged every 2 years. Luckily here in TN we have no smog test, but all I've done to date is remove the smog pump. FYI there are 2 smog set ups for 1985 trucks. Pre 1/1/85 and post 1/1/85. My truck has a 11/84 build date and...

    Need H6 AC compressor brackets for 454

    I went with a Sanden compressor and Vintage Air brackets on my 454. Rest of the system is OEM.

    Installing tailgate band

    I'm not sure the 70's full size trim will fit the 81 and up gate. I know the 1/2 size one does not due to the shape of the 81+ gate. The slope by the GMC on you gate prevents it. 73-80 81-87

    Cab light question

    @Grit dog the only reason my K30 has clearance lights is because they were required on vehicles over 80" wide in California. The thing that makes my K30 over 80" is the Dana 60 front axle. I think it's about 81" hub to hub. Mine also has the factory tailgate lights.

    Cab light question

    I believe this is where the wire feeds through the top of the firewall to the roof. It's been a long time since I replaced the clearance lamps, but from my photos it appears only the white wire feeds to the lights. I can't remember how it grounds. I could be totally wrong on this and it could...

    Cab light question

    Also, factory lights are mounted like this. The two outward lamps diagonal.

    Anybody considered hacking up these panels to fit silverado trim?

    I bought Coverlay door panels as they are designed like the Silverado panels. I haven't installed them yet, but I'm removing the 89-91 looking cloth insert that are glued on and installing the factory pieces. I'm going without door pulls on the Silverado door trim, similar to what I did on my...

    Diesel Engine Bay Help

    I saw one of your other posts and I'm guessing your truck is a mix of several trucks. The "M" in your VIN would indicate a 350 engine, not a 6.2L (C or J). The hydro-boost brakes are better than the vacuum style. They came on diesels and heavier trucks like my K30. The other thing is I don't...

    Fog/driving lights 81-82 bumper

    One of the best fog lights I've ever used was the Hell 550 clear fog light. They might be a hair big for the opening, but would still have that old school look.

    Dual fuel tank filling

    Back in the day (80's -90's), there used to be a company that marketed the dual tank fill set up like you've shown. I'm sure if you looked in some old Peterson's 4 Wheel and Off Road you'd find adds for this. I can't recall the name of the company.

    What was the cause of the door strap defect?

    Well here's how I dealt with in in my '79 when I upgraded to the '81 & up interior, I got rid of it.
