    Kicking around doing an LS swap

    To OP. Check my k5 build. I cover most of what you need to know. I run a LQ9 6.0LS/4L65E from an 04 Escalade and NP241c from a 90 burb along with the gauge cluster.

    Kicking around doing an LS swap

    I need to do the same for my t-case. What micro switch did you use and do you have any pics under the cover?

    78 Cheyenne Owner/Restoration/Rebuild

    Welcome from TX. I've been working on a 78 k10 Silverado swb for the last year or so. Off and on of course.

    Door pocket

    @AuroraGirl I always enjoy you long dialogs and appreciate you looking for the door pocket. You're the only one that has offered one. I really just need the door pocket. If the first one you showed is not cracked and still has flexibility that will work for me. Besides shipping will be much...

    Door pocket

    Right. I have a feeling it would turn to dust when you try to move it.

    It looks like the one. Even the color.

    Door pocket

    Hi, looking for an original door pocket for my 78 k10. I'm missing the passenger side. Interior is buckskin. No problem if faded, I'll redye as I did with the one in the picture. Thanks

    Front axle off set to passenger side

    Ah that makes sense and what I was thinking. I'm sure it was faster to assemble on the line too.

    Front axle off set to passenger side

    Does that mean the rad support and fenders were bolted together first? Then once the hood was square they would bolt the fenders at the back on each side?

    Has anyone superglued the copper contacts down on the circuit board ?

    I have similar issues, about to buy a new circuit board for my 78 k10. I have a spare 82 cluster but LMC says they are different boards.

    Seems like a good deal in the DFW area

    That's for sure. Someone went overboard on accessories.

    Front axle off set to passenger side

    This is a good idea. I have a similar skewed issue on the right side of my 78 k10. No accidents but since every body part and the core support have been removed for various metal work. I assume the rear bumper is also a good reference point? How did the factory measure or square during assembly?

    Stock Window Trim 87 Silverado

    Interesting. My Silverado has all the extra options like, 350 v8, 700r4, power windows, power locks, digital tape player, dual tanks... Maybe someone had an off day. Trim looks original but you never know. Also not to belabor the point (engineer in my past life and OCD) but this 87 Silverado...

    Need honest quote for this truck, not a I know what I have?

    I'd buy it for 2k delivered The only option it needs to have is the 350. Looks like a 305 per the vin

    Stock Window Trim 87 Silverado

    Is that true on the 87+? My r10 swb is a Silverado and has the YE9 code. My lock strip is black. Also bought some blazer sliding rear windows from a 1990 (one my original ones was broken) and they had black lock strips.

    turn signal switch install

    I just replaced mine yesterday, maybe an hour or so job. On a 78 k10, with tilt column. Agree with lock tighting the bolts for the tilt portion. They are e-torx, reverse torx. You will need another puller. I can take a pic of mine if you need a reference.

    UPDATE! Need expert opinions on 86 or 87

    Again, I'd go 86 if you plan to replace the TBI with aftermarket FI. Also note the TBI intake is on 2 barrel not 4 like a standard quadrajet.

    UPDATE! Need expert opinions on 86 or 87

    I can confirm.

    UPDATE! Need expert opinions on 86 or 87

    I have an 87 swb with tbi and 350 factory. I like having fuel injection and I just drive the truck. Nothing crazy, get in turn the key and go. If you plan on hot rodding and have many sbc performance parts I think the easy option is the 86. Good luck.

    Frame rot

    I had to replace the hanger and hanger supports on my 78 k10. It's a bad design. The small space between them fills up easily with dirt and rots them away. My frame had a little scale but nothing like yours. It takes some effort. Had to use a cutoff wheel and reciprocating saw. Of course a...

    Transfer case support rod

    Actually just looking at both rods. They both measure about 30" to the first hole. Maybe they are the same?
