    New Member. 1987 K20 tbi swap to Carb Help??

    extra wiring that can be deleted to give a cleaner look. only 4 wires needed from the original harness to unless you decide to keep the in tank fuel pumps but I wouldn't re use them. If you're restoring it you'll probably be dropping the tank(s) and replacing all that so why not put an external...

    New Member. 1987 K20 tbi swap to Carb Help??

    I just got down swapping my '87 over to carb. It will be easier to deal with than trying to get your ECM tuned and flashed for the upgrades you do to get the HP, not that it is impossible to do, just less headache. There are people out there that can send you a new chip to accommodate a new cam...

    Rebuilding.. TH350 or TH400?

    keep the TH350 pretty strong transmissions. my '87 has one in that used to tow a fifth wheel camper from Missouri through the hills of Tennessee down to Florida with no problems twice a year. granted now that I have the truck it doesn't see much towing anymore but would put it up against anything.

    Whose got the best body replacement parts?

    That's a solid point too. I know I won't get OEM but I just want good quality. If I'm doing it now, I want to do it right and not have to redo it in a few years unless I want to change it on my own accord.

    Whose got the best body replacement parts?

    Ive been looking but around here is crap and can't really take a road trip down to AZ at the moment. Checked Goodmark last night and wow, $190 per fender. Who knows how much shipping will be on those bastards. The site couldn't give me a proper quote. But I do have access to a business...

    Whose got the best body replacement parts?

    I kinda figured they were the same, or at least got their parts from the same supplier. Hmmm nothing best OEM parts but that comes with a price tag and scarcity. Your '77 looks great too. We have some time still but just trying to get a parts list and price range ready.

    Whose got the best body replacement parts?

    Where is everyone getting their metal from? I am looking at getting both front fenders on my '87, cab corners and a cowl hood. LMC is only about a half hour drive, given heavy traffic, and classic parts warehouse is only a few miles down from my work. I have seen some reviews that LMC has...

    Swap in newer ring/pinion?

    believe the 88-95 10 bolts are still the same width and all as the earlier 10 bolts. remember last they are considered 8.6 vs 8.5 but still same ole same ole. if you open one up make sure it is good working order. no teeth missing, no leaking from the axle seals or pinion seal. drive shafts...

    Check out Scorpion Fabrication on FaceBook. They make one that allows 3" tubing and allows better clearance. Prices are reasonable too. https://www.facebook.com/Scorpionfabrication/

    Smoking on acceleration

    blue smoke is usually burning oil, black fuel and white coolant. chilton book says compression values are acceptable if they are not less than 80% of maximum value, and two cylinders should be no more than 12-14 pounds different. also to do the test with an engine at operating temp.

    Shift kits?

    Thanks for the tip. I probably should've done that when I had the motor out.

    Shift kits?

    Well tire chirping isn't all I am after, anything to help prolong the life of the trans. I just figured I need to add fluid this weekend and while I'm at it to save money down the road with more fluid why not change the filter, change the gasket and add a kit while I'm there. God knows when the...
