    10 inch lift and 37 inch tires on 88 suburban

    Unca Nick,, we need more data. Engine, transmission please. Gonna need about a 4.10 gear swap.. hopefully they make them for the 12 bolt. Normally I'm the guy coming from actual off road worthiness and would say never run tire that large on 12 bolts.. but you said it was for looks and highway...

    Old77's 1989 S10 tinkering project

    These truck all need a V8... no not a 305. 350 or better yet 383. Good fuel economy! Too bad the factory didn't make them with an 8. hinkng of the Monza Spider with the 350 and 4 speed. Those were fun and even dangerous for weak drivers.

    Swapping the 350 for a Crate

    Well for starters what is the warrantee? If you just go with a shortblock you will need to get your heads rebuilt. Just in case you missed that. Guess where all your horsepower comes from?

    I would buy a new carb. Like an 1150 Dominator... I like the model that comes with a 496 stuck on the bottom.

    So, what's this emblem signify?

    Oh yeah? Well if someone said something to me about it in that tone I would tell them "yup this is the Indian Hunter Truck" ... for chasing them down and running them over.

    2wd to 4wd conversion

    There's nothing weird about wanting functional suspension. You could still B52 your front end, but the truck will be considerably taller. The springs will cost a lot... good luck finding rear leafs from a junk yard that aren't beat to hell.

    Fire out my carb?

    I have one of those cheap china inspection cameras... on a goose neck. I can put the lens tip right into the spark plug hole and move/turn it the right way and I can see the valve opening and piston coming or going. It's fun! Set the handheld part down so you can see the screen while bent over...

    Any squarebody van guys? Got a odd question.

    I wouldn't hesitate to heat and bend right in the cab. I would lay some sheet metal down behind things, and use a cutting torch in and out quick. I would heat the bend part first, and just swing it to the left a little, to take the bend out of it. When it's well cooled, heat again just under the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I resolved a starting issue with my K10 shortbox. Been struggling with this for a few years.. always changing batteries, but my batt stash are all old and even though they take a charge ok, seems the cranking power is the first thing to go with age. Starting was like errr...errr..click click...

    Valve stem seals info needed and is it worth while in my case?

    Front vs rear winch

    Your receiver mount winch would need synthetic rope. There's 100 lbs less. And longer. Far superior to cable and I know how that sounds.. There is a BUT.. you have to care for the 'ropes' where cable gets put away wet. And you can't drag or skid your rope pull over ground (that's why they call...

    Was the 2nd receiver offset from center? If there's two receivers, which one do you use to pull a trailer?

    Trouble Installing New Engine

    I'm glad you figured it out. I'm not sure which brackets your talking about, but my eyes don't see any emission details other than crap that is in my way of living my life... so it's gets removed and I never look back. And if I understand what your describing, these brackets were contacting the...

    Transfer case support rod

    Thanks for the link.. I've seen broken feet off of transfer cases before. One was behind a big block and wet sand with major wheel hop... at least that's the story attached. I just can't see that torque preventing twist. It seems to be pulling the TC in tight to the transmission. Anyway, I'm...
