    Rim compatibility

    16.5" tires and rims can be tricky to come by. Maybe pick up one 16" wheel for a spare and replace the 16.5's as they wear out.

    Can you believe this???!!! TC/NP208 Adapter/700R4 trans crossmember mounting/question?

    I am not an expert, I'm pretty sure you need to have the angles of the pinion and transfer case output cancel each other out. Maybe check the google machine.

    Prebent brake lines for a 87 R30 long bed regular cab?

    I am not an expert, I would think the wheelbase would be more important than the number of tires. Pre-bent lines can be tricky to install unless on a bare frame and the longer ones are sometimes bent in half for shipping. Why not buy or rent a flaring tool and coils of tubing, it is a DIY project?

    Stumped on oil leak

    Could try swapping out the dipstick with a vacuum port plug and hose clamp, could just be a bad dipstick seal plus a blow by issue. Maybe pinholes in the tube?

    3 on the tree

    I'm on a pre 1960 "oldgmctrucks" website. One of the members MacGyvered up a 4 on the tree with reverse a separate lever thru the floor. For the most part we run inline 6's with low HP and torque.

    Dual axle trailer brakes worth it?? Pic's inside

    What, if anything, does TX require? Is it a 7K (two 3500lbs. axles) trailer. Note proper spelling of axles.

    Best way to run power from truck battery to trailer winch. Quick disconnect ends.

    I put a separate battery on the trailer for the winch and an isolator off of the truck's battery to keep it charged.

    Fuel filter puzzle

    There wasn't any "water in fuel" sensors in my mid 80's CUCV blazer fuel tank, only on the firewall box filter housing.

    My parts truck has auto hubs on the Dana 60!

    I had an early to mid 80's that also had them.

    Oil pressure gauge problem

    Could always "T" in a mechanical gauge to get a second opinion.

    Confusion on fuel and more.

    The type that's on your firewall/pressure regulator or the same shape only metal.

    Ease up on the all caps.

    87 SILVERADO WITH AN 78 350 BORD 40 OVER WILL NOT STAY RUNNING AFTER SEAFOM

    How did it run before seafoam treatment? Did you add the seafoam to the tank or dump it down the carb and how much?

    Confusion on fuel and more.

    Others will mention, I'm not too keen on that style filter you used before the fuel pump.

    Swapped to 4x4, now the truck dances all over the road

    Might be a SWAG but any cracks in the frame around the steering box?
  18. Rickf

    Fuel filler issue. This can’t be right.

    Maybe trim a little off the tank end of the hose? Could it have been a C&C at some point and a bed installed? That could explain the geometry issue.

    1978-80 dash trim on a 1977 dash?

    There are two different shapes to the dash pads. My '74 plastic trim that holds the vents will not fit the newer dashes. I'm not sure when the change was made.

    six cylinder won't start in the morning

    Does it sound like it cuts out at a certain engine rpm? Maybe wire in a tach to check.

    raising seat height

    Could also experiment with wood to find out what height works for you, then square tubing and/or metal body shims.

    Fuse block connectors

    What will you be adding? A #10 wire from the battery and an ignition activated relay maybe in your future.

    Transmission Identification

    It's not a BOP. I thought someplace on this website or GMT400's there is a guide for GM transmissions based on pan gasket shape.

    Unable to find these relays

    Any thing that looks like a part number, might have to rely on google.
