What have you done to your square lately??
Did you research the kyb's ? Just wondering, I heard good things about them, and need to get new shocks too. I know that some trucks in the generation following the squares had Bilstein from the factory and have been considering those as well Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk -

I didn't realize that people still use CB radio. That's old school awesome! May have to consider one for ole Bessie, or is 1987 too new? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk -

Sorry, I was referring to the bow tie, not the whole grille Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk -

Grille restoration
If that grille is for the 87 in your profile, good luck finding a new bowtie. I've looked and think it's a one year only piece. Let me know if you find 2! -

My 87 with a 305 doesn't have any sensors upstream the throttle body and it's still all factory from the radiator support to the air cleaner housing Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk -

The latch on my sliding rear window has been broken for years! Just got to climb my big ole body into the bed and reach through to unlock her. I will fix this when I get her painted. Any thoughts on sliding rear window versus solid? Haven't decided yet Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk -

Interior redo
That is a beautiful truck! Mine is white with carmine interior. Now I have something to aspire to when I do my interior. She's still waiting in line for paint job at work, but I'm doing a color change -

Looking for the elusive disposable Th200 Non Lock-Up
I worked at an independent transmission shop from 1984 thru 1990, we wouldn't even use a pre 1986 700r4 core to rebuild because of all the issues from 82-85, and almost never built TH200's ever!- Poppy 87

Number of Original Circuits
I would use "C" listed acc or accessory, try that, it should power down with key off. Best bet is to use the schematic diagram for your truck- Poppy 87

No dedicated vacuum in reverse. I would check and make sure your motor mounts are not collapsed, as drive train moving too much may enhance the noise you are hearing Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk -

Ls advise
Can not help with parts in Canada, but LS3 is a 6.0 litre and 1500 series truck didn't get the 4l80 transmission. Check your casting numbers and post pictures for positive verification Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk- Poppy 87

Looking for the elusive disposable Th200 Non Lock-Up
??? Thought you were asking about aquiring a transmission, now this is not a friendly forum? Lighten up Francis, you got a lot of good advice/recommendations here. Good luck in your search for a transmission Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk- Poppy 87

Looking for the elusive disposable Th200 Non Lock-Up
Yes, the TH350 will need a vacuum source and I think that the detent cable is different from the 200. I'm getting old! Haven't done that conversion since probably 1988! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk- Poppy 87

No evidence of a leak prior to the install? That is truly bad luck, but you got a great deal on that limited slip differential right? Get the crush sleeve eliminator and a new seal. Still way ahead $$$ in the long run. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk -

I don't believe that you have to cut the cross member, just move it. We used to do these transmission swaps back in the day. I think the frame may actually be drilled already as that body was fitted with multiple drive trains- Poppy 87

Only difference that I'm aware of was 6 bolt torque converter and case drilled and tapped for the heavy duty converter cover with braces to engine- Poppy 87
