    Planning ahead for 3/4T 4WD Suburban suspension

    I think most will agree... I've always deleted them. I find they get rusted and don't work, yet the brakes still stop the truck so off with it. Does your rig have a tach? 4.10s with stock 31" tires would be so revy on the highway. I don't think Eric is correct about 4.10s being standard on 3/4...

    Planning ahead for 3/4T 4WD Suburban suspension

    Ok so you have realistic expectations, that makes things easier! Are you certain you have 4.10 gears? That's very low for a Sub.. I actually never thought that was an option. If they are 4.10s, you can easily run a larger tire... but again the 12 bolt can be compromised. Your driving habits...

    Mirrors just wont stay!

    On my K20 there is a plastic sleeve, not metal on metal. I soaked in beer, let it dry and did it again. Now it sticks and doesn't move. Once again, saved by beer.

    Planning ahead for 3/4T 4WD Suburban suspension

    The question Shawn, is how off-road capable do you want to go? If you're going to be twisting it up (like the photo sitting on the stump... but MORE) and running larger tires then you may have to trim fenders back. We have a 'formula' where you can get a decent amount of flex but 33" tires is...

    Re-badging my Square

    The way you restore vehicles... you could badge your truck FORD and it would still be worth massive coinage.

    Lifted Dually’s….

    Well I look forward to Bucket's comments, but until he shows up you'll have to put up with me. Lifting a dually is no different than any other model. The options are the same. Rear end - shackle flip, blocks or longer deeper arched spring. Just a 1" lift..? Easy-Inch from ORD or DIY4x4. Front...

    Holy Grail of Squarebodys

    This but with a big block. Either way, the 4l80 and 205 is BOMB!

    2 barrel carb - barking up the wrong tree?

    I remember a few squares in the 70s with the 350 and 2 barrel... they didn't seem to give up any bottom to the 4 barrel version.

    Aiming Headlights Procedure?

    I like a lonely road at night. A piece of cardboard I hang with tape over one light at a time. Drivers i like to aim at the center line or just inside. Passenger further up and on the white line.

    700R4 nightmares

    There's your problem right there. Your lugging the transmission. NOT the way to keep a 700 alive. 199er just mentioned it above.

    BB Headers

    Big tubes are for high rpm... will you be spinning your engine over 5000? The 1 7/8" is enough for all them cubes. Plus as mentioned already, they fit better too!

    Drove while 2 quarts low on oil

    Remember the 460 Ford? Not a bad engine really, smooth power. I had a 74 Thunderbird with one and it was really really hard to keep it under 80 mph. The slightest pressure on the go pedal and it was hitting 100. So run a 460 low on oil and clack clack clack goes a rod. I was doing engine...

    10 inch lift and 37 inch tires on 88 suburban

    be careful don't get Rough Country mixed up with Tuff Country. Rough is way oversprung, they do not flex. This is old school lift spring ideology. If a leaf pack with generous arc (for lift, long springs with deeper arch) were to actually flex the rear hanger would bottom out on the frame. You...
