Gear Vendors OD
I've searched here, looking for some more recent input with folks who have actually used the GV OD units in these trucks. I'm not looking for an 'expert' opinion on what I should do, just real world experience with the GV. Rig is an 87 2wd 3/4 Burb with 454/Turbo 400/3.73 FF D60 and about 108K...- 496bb

Rocker question
So, I know the rockers are very prone to rust. Attaching a pic of what is really the only significant rust on my 87 Burb. Passenger front rocker has two spots right where the factory lip has holes. But why, and can I do anything to prevent further issue when I do new rubber? Did this side of...- 496bb

14 bolt question
Thanks! Can you give me some more specific instructions on how and parts needed to do this? I’m about to dive into full brake rebuilds on both sides due to a bad wheel cylinder. Might as well just go ahead and do it all since it’s kinda a pain to get the drum off anyway - I don’t know the shoe...- 496bb

14 bolt question
I think this FF is original. RPO shows 3.73 open. I found the same chalk marking, upside down, on the passenger frame rail. Pulled a wheel on the side I know I have a wheel cylinder leak. All looks the same as far as age and no indication this rear has been changed. I’ll be diving in to wheel...- 496bb

14 bolt question
So, my 87 3/4 Burb (454/400) seems to have a bit of a leak from pinion seal I think. Also gotta fix a wheel cylinder. But, this diff cover has me a bit confused with the “76” marked on it. Is it a cover off an older truck? An axle swapped in? Will prob pop the cover off eventually to check...- 496bb

Lifted Dually Suburban wheels/tires?
Interested in what you find out with this build. Mine is a 2wd 87 3/4 Burb, and I'm thinking about doing the dually just for a little better towing of a custom 10-12K crawler hauler type bumper pull trailer. Trying to figure out how best to do the rear end, and also should I swap front...- 496bb

Suburban dually build
So, I know there are older Burb dually builds out there, but don't find much recent info on the build process. I know there were fenders available back in the day, which are no longer - but that's really not my first focus. I have an 87 3/4 2wd Burb, 454, and I'm contemplating converting it to...- 496bb

1987 Suburban speedo
So, my 87 3/4 ton Burb with a 454/turbo400 combo stock - I'm assuming the speedo is mechanical? I'm about to delete the smog equipment and TBI (no comments from the peanut gallery bout that, I don't care what you think). Trying to decide whether to use an almost complete set of Autometer...- 496bb

What gauge size/diameter to replace stock ??
I have an almost complete set of Autometer Phantom's, 2 1/16. Only need the speedo and an oil pressure, aquired em years ago so I'm really thinking about just getting the other two and making it work. Have an extra bezel, have researched old threads - wonder if anybody has tried to use Kydex...
