    SM465 cab swap

    with 3" of body lift I dont see why you would have to do any more than cut shifter holes. worse comes to worse you can set it up there and mock it up and if dont clear your out nothing since you will have to cut hump out anyway.

    DNE2 overdrive on a 400

    I'm in good enough with guys at shredder they buy them as scrap autos from me with a large dockage. Junked out 4 motor homes in last week and they brought $300-950 each. When I get a chance ill post picture of that overdrive unit and the Jacob brake setup from driveshaft. There both laying in my...

    swb or lwb?

    I'd just buy one of each lol and add in a crew cab, suburban, and a K5 for good measures. Maybe that explains why I have so many, each truck has its own good points and bad points. If you plan on using it for a lot of hauling, the long bed is best. If your just going drive it as a daily driver...

    Found some used tires - questions

    I deal in used tires and we will not risk selling any tire that has weather cracking in them. If your going use it for offroad use then that's not a big deal, but they will more than likely blow out at highway speeds and hot weather

    6.2 diesel HELP !!!!

    No it wasn't a military donor pump. It's only 12 volt to the pump on military trucks. Just the starter and glow plugs are 24. I didn't change out top plate to start with, and have changed it already since. The glow plug light doesn't come on once engine is warm, but would it need glow plugs once...

    Disabled 4 cylinders on a TBI motor :) MPG Gain???

    2 things I see wrong with this whole idea #1 without a pushrod in the lifter the cam will be short lived on a regular hydronic cam engine. Had dozens of them with dead cylinder and ended up with cam ate out from where someone had tried to hide it by pulling pushrods. #2 in moderation horse...

    6.2 diesel HELP !!!!

    I have a military M1028a2 with a 6.2 in it. 35k mile all the regular military stuff. Well I'm fighting it as not starting once engine is warm. Starts great cold and right off if you shut it off and restart it, but leave it set 15 min and forget it it won't start for anything. I upgraded to a...

    DNE2 overdrive on a 400

    It's a Doug Nash enterprise overdrive (dual range) it's about the same theory as a gear vendor. Still trying to figure out why mine has 3 switch positions instead of 2 like all the info I read on them says. What sucks is its for a 2wd and has the parking brake connected to the back of it as part...

    couple trucks and other stuff

    Only crew cab I have left I'm looking to sell is a 86 c30. Real nice old truck 350 auto 2wd. It's on the car lot right now for $3500. If it don't sell in next month or so I'm going to pull cab off it and put it on a 4wd frame I have and build a crew cab 4x4 wrecker.

    couple trucks and other stuff

    Yea 78 k20 sold. A friend of mind gave me a 4x4 90 k10 suburban with bad motor and a 89 k5 offroad truck for it. I have several tilt colums but none that are floor shift. We just knock shifter out and use colum shift on our stuff. I've only seen one of those colums in all my trucks I've had so...

    DNE2 overdrive on a 400

    I bought a old motor home today (1985) for the 454. It is a 32-34' unit with the 19.5 tires. It appears to have one of these overdrive units hooked to back of the th400 between it and park brake. There is a 3 position switch on shifter to operate it. Anyone ever seen or played with one of these...

    couple trucks and other stuff

    yea the 78 was the tan one about like your truck bucket. Hated to let it go, but I hated seeing it set and needed the money. I still have my red 89 V3500 and a 81 K30 crew cab 6.2. I had a offer other night on my M1028 almost let it go. Between a 24 hr towing busness, a scrap business...

    couple trucks and other stuff

    Quick update I do have a colum for a 84. I don't have any trailering special emblems. Also I sold the 78 k30 crew over the weekend and got a deposit on the 78 k20. Kinda sad to see them go, but they both are going to good homes I hope. I'm still trying to eliminate a few more of the collection...

    trying to get an opinion on drw bed

    I have 3-4 of them around my place, and haven't been able to sell one in years. All the people I know with duallys are putting flatbeds, or dump beds on them around here. I've posted a few of them on craigslist for the $500 range and never got a call, but different areas get different results

    454 or 383

    I'm a big block guy myself. takes a pretty strong small block to run with a stock 454. I run a small block 355 in my offroad buggy because there a cheap build, lighter, and alot more expendable. I have one wrecker with a 355 in it to but it's real disapointing pulling a load. Of course I have...

    Cold Start

    I don't think a single one of my chokes work correct on any of my squares. pump them a couple of times and all them seem to start fairly quick, and idle right off. unless temp is below 20* it's never a problem here. Funny tho no one else can ever get them to start here since most of my help is...
