    Has anyone installed headrests on their factory bench?

    I am going to compare the measurements of the high backs to the bench to see how they compare. That might be the best option if they don’t make things too cramped. I’m 6’0 and so is he, except he’s still growing....

    Has anyone installed headrests on their factory bench?

    My other alternative is to throw these in for the next few years https://shop4seats.com/truck-seats/40-20-40-truck-seats/high-back-40-20-40/santa-cruz-high-back-bench-seat.html Anyone have them and an opinion.

    Has anyone installed headrests on their factory bench?

    So my son will start driving the 86 next year, and my daughters will be occasional passengers on the way to school. Wondering if anyone has installed headrests that reasonably match to provide a little protection? As a teenager and passenger in a square, we were backing out of a gas station...

    86-upgrading headlights keep stock look

    i know there are some older threads on here on how to upgrade the light output. My goal is simple, upgrade the light output, keep stock look (no blue LED), and keep it simple. I am looking for high quality and easy to install. I don’t want Chinese eBay stuff and I don’t want to piece together...

    86 GMC 4” Rough Country to Deaver Springs 4”

    Haven’t been on in awhile but I wanted to give a quick update. A month later and I am more and more impressed with the Deavers, a much smoother ride while maintaining the lifted look we wanted. Ground to wheel well is 41.25 inch’s. I don’t have the specs on the springs we just told them what...

    86 GMC 4” Rough Country to Deaver Springs 4”

    Ok, I finally got the rears done and I am very happy with the results. This setup rides so much nicer and smooths out the bumps much better. It’s hard to put the comparison in words but what used to be sharp bumps and jolts just driving over speed bumps are now much closer to what you would...

    Which 350 setup would you buy to replace your 305?

    Figure out the approximate hp and torque you are looking for and order the 350 crate that matches up closest in your price range. As others said all the little stuff adds up in cost and time and also voids your warranty. That blueprint engine is 373/400 runs 87 octane and comes with 50,000...

    86 GMC 4” Rough Country to Deaver Springs 4”

    Well the shipment arrived on Monday but we forgot to include new u-bolts so I had to have some custom bent. Arrived Tuesday morning, shop guys struggled to get the old system off but was able to get the front leafs done so we could take it home with us tonight. The rears will get done next...

    86 GMC 4” Rough Country to Deaver Springs 4”

    In search of a better ride and after weeks of research, I have decided to replace the current Rough Country EZ ride 4” lift with a set of custom built front and rear springs from Deaver. I thought I would share the experience with others as there seems to be a lot of questions about how to get...

    86 GMC K1500 Crate 350-Adding HP without Removing Engine

    I talked to summit they said it would work but would require a 2400 stall converter and wouldn't recommend it for street performance. They recommended 12-210-2 with the existing heads or 12-234-2 if I go with the edelbrocks. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-12-210-2

    86 GMC K1500 Crate 350-Adding HP without Removing Engine

    I agree going with a different engine would be better route. Just looking for "easy" ways to add hp and maintain something easy on the street. Maybe a Holley sniper EFI? Not sure what impact that might have on performance Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
