    Double gas tanks into one?

    The switch Abe the valve should run you 70-100, and it'll be fixed. Running off off both tanks at the same time won't do anything but increase the amount of unusable fuel in the tanks.

    Double gas tanks into one?

    For what you're going to waste trying to rig something up, you can fix your existing setup to work like it's suppose to.

    3/4 ton axles for my 1/2 ton...maintenance suggestions?

    Word. Replace all of the hub seals, inspect the wheel bearings, turn the drums and rotors, and replace the brake linings and hardware. Also inspect the balljoints and axle joints. Get the axles ready to roll before you cut the ubolts off of your old axle. Be aware that you will need new...

    Well stop texting me those pics on the weekend. I like the pink thong the best though.

    Any Father/Son trucks out there?

    Mine isn't a father son truck, nor its it really a grandfather grandson truck. Mine was my grandpa's from about 2000 until he passed away in 2003. We did a kit of work to it in that time. New fenders, doors, he found someone to put floors in it cheap (and it shows), and we put the bed from my...

    14 SF 6-lug Axle for 73-87, what is the best option

    Also, the 6 lug 1/2 ton "Z71" 14 bolt is not a Z71 deal, it's option code F44 (heavy duty chassis). This option is NOT a part of the Z71 package. The Z71 package is shocks, skid plates, and bedside stickers. However, I have seen some weird combinations, such as F44 trucks with the 10 bolt and...

    14 SF 6-lug Axle for 73-87, what is the best option

    88+ the 7200# gvwr 2500s got a 14SF, and the 8600#gvwr got an 8 lug 14SF, with a FF as an option. also keep in mind that the 2wd 6 lug 14SF is about 3"narrower. IIRC, the gvwr thing is the same on squares and the SF or FF rear axle.

    Rear axle alignment

    It's not hard at all to track a frame out of square, might not be a bad idea to get it on a rack just to be sure if you're restoring it.

    Name that trans!!!!

    What are you planning to do for a vss signal? A racetrack 205 will be a fear driven Speedo, and the trans won't function properly without vss.

    Exploring other t-case options.

    The 91 will still be a 700R4, and if it is a square body, would be a great thing to swap the entire unit into your truck. The case is an NP241 either way.

    12 bolt GM truck rear

    2.76 gears are worthless in a truck. Regearing will probably pick up fuel economy and add power. Take this opportunity to put a good gearset in the rear, and find a matching front with the money you were refunded from the initial repair.

    spring perch lift

    Not the ideal way to do things, as the tube can crush under side loads. A simple angle bracket with beefy gussets would work better.

    Which tranny should i run?

    Thanks for the props, but I'm by no means up on the working of an automatic Trans, though I've been around these trucks for many years, I do know what it takes to keep one alive. The biggest thing is to not spin the Trans too slow, you are right, 2000 is right about the sweet spot for a stock...

    spring perch lift

    Your tape measure is broken, or it's not A stock shackle.

    spring placement

    Before you touch anything, do some background research. It's painfully obvious you haven't done that.
