    Desert Fox

    I I see it toward the bottom too. Just put some miracle grow on it and send it to TX.

    Desert Fox

    Yep, definitely one of the best looking special option ones.

    Insulation on a Budget

    I used kilmat in my k5 along with jute material. Works well and is quieter than my r10. If you want to go less expensive I heard people use peel and stick or frost king from home depot or Lowe's. I can't remember which. It's used for HVAC systems.

    Desert Fox

    Haha. I figured they are more northern states. I know I've never seen one down here.

    How to mount factory Front Air Deflector on 1980 Square Body

    Does anyone know if GM ever made these with tow hook provisions like the 81-87 trucks? Thinking about putting one on my 78 k10.

    Building a free LT1 for my Camaro

    LT1s are great, my 95 z28 has one with a 6 speed. Mid length headers, high flow cat with borla exhaust sounds great. With other bolt-on it can move.

    I bought my grandfather’s truck

    Welcome from TX. I also have a 87 r10. It was in great condition when I bought it, very original. The throttle was stiffer than I remember my 86 k20 being. I just assumed it had to do with the tbi setup. I got use to it. It is definitely stiff if you compare to a modern drive by wire car.

    Amp Power Steps on a K5 solved.

    That's a good idea. I didn't know what steps to go with on my k5 build. I just went static nurf bars that connect to the frame. I couldn't think about putting holes in my floor after all that metal work. Your k10 swap is similar to my k5. A 2004 Escalade gave its drivetrain. What are you using...

    Dupicolor POR

    Thanks. I plan to wire wheel my frame before any chemicals go on. I'll probably go with the crc and then semi-gloss paint for the frame. Just want to make sure I kill all the rust. It appears to be surface only but want to make sure.

    Dupicolor POR

    Is the CRC and chassis saver the same? Or do you use all 3?

    Dupicolor POR

    I've used the silver color on my calipers never thought about a frame. I'm sure it would be durable enough for a frame too.

    Brand Reccomendations for New Gears

    Similar setup for my 82 k5. My axles came with 3.73s. Also have a ls 6.0, 4l65e and np241c. An all around good ratio. Had to change gears in my 78 k10 which is a 12 bolt. I went with Richmond. No complaints and summit racing had them in stock. They're close to me.

    Correct holes for cargo lamp and switch mounting

    This is a pic from a 79. I have an 87 r10 and 78 k10 with factory installed cargo lamps too. But I would have to take pics.

    Dupicolor POR

    Has anyone used this? They had aerosol and quarts at the local parts store. Was thinking about trying on my k10's frame.

    Looking at 92 Yukon for my son

    For some reason I want a gmt400 burb. Specifically a 2500 4wd with a 454. Hopefully the feeling will pass.

    1976 vin number. How many digits is your vin?

    @Keith Seymore and @Itali83 thanks. I'm going to try and find mine today. I'll let you know the location on my trucks.

    1976 vin number. How many digits is your vin?

    Where on the frame is the partial vin number? Would it be the same for all the squarebody trucks? I have a 78 k10, 82 k5 and 87 r10. Thanks

    To Cut Or Not To Cut

    Do you like the look of that cluster over the original ones? You do know a 90 - 91 cluster from a suburban or blazer has the digital speedo a ls swap needs.

    Chrome ring around the Rim

    Not sure about your area but those beauty rings are common and maybe able to find in a local pick and pull or craigslist. That way you can have an original instead of new aftermarket.

    running boards, nerf bars, step bars !!!

    I have nerf bars on my k5. They mount to the frame.

    Transmission opinions?

    Also note if you plan on using the np241c from the 700r4 the spline count will be 27. The 4l80e and TH400 will be 32. You would at the very least have to change the input of the np241c.
