    Brake booster on my 86 K30

    The steering gear (box) should be the same. There is only 2 lines , supply and return. The third line from the pump goes to the master cylinder.

    Get your Hookers while they're available!

    It took me a minute, but I get it now... Haha. Of course you live in Nevada... I was so confused at first.

    Get your Hookers while they're available!

    How much are they? Are they supposed to be good? They look great. I've never seen them before.

    So I guess this is my Trans Am build thread now...

    I had a '73 'bird that I drove in my early 20s, turned it into a dirt track car when I was in my 30s, sold it when I was in my 40s, race ready, and now I have a 3rd gen 1985 Trans Am that I am getting started on restoring. It was my wifes car many years ago. I will put up pictures. I didnt...

    Brake pedal shaft removal

    Ouch! I saw that big spring on my '84 and didn't want to mess with it. You might need to take the whole dash apart to get to it.

    oops ! Can you spot what’s wrong here?

    I guess that all of the ones that I have dealt with were the plastic ones and we know what the NM sun does to plastic.Sometimes they wont stay snapped in place that well. After I lost one a few years ago, I just put a little piece of tape on the loose one on my '84.

    Thanks for the info, but that raises another question. Why did GM change from "K" & "C" to "R" & "V"? Confusing and my initials are RV. Also a recreational vehicle is an RV. It doesn't look like the actual truck changed. I guess this is just a rant. haha

    Nice looking truck. Looks like about an '81. Was there ever any K30 one ton, single rear wheel, with a step side bed?

    oops ! Can you spot what’s wrong here?

    How do you keep those little suckers on there? I lost one on a previous truck that I had a few years ago. I have a piece of tape holding one of the ones on my '84 now. Maybe they stay on better upside down.

    My '84 GMC has a 402 BBC in it that came out of a '72 truck. I like it better than the 383 in my '85. They are close to the same CID, but everything about a Big block is superior to a small block. I hope you find one.

    pulls to right quickly if you let go wheel,zero tire wear for 18yrs.

    Maybe a bad steering gear. Maybe somebody took it apart and got it out of "timing" when they put it back together. They are pretty easy to change, and since you changed everything else, why not update that as well.

    I guess you can use that "step" to get up there to the rack or tool box or whatever... Makes sense now. Thanks.

    Cool trucks, cool story. Why did they prefer the stepsides? Thanks for sharing.

    I also have another '85 1/2 ton 4 x 4 4 speed with tilt steering. The column is all wore out from PO using it to climb in and out of it. My '84 GMC does not have the tilt steering. So I have seen them both ways.

    Same wheels, different truck. Old picture of the Chevy and new picture of the GMC. There is something about a GMC that I prefer.

    What is the "ultimate" Square body? I think that I have it, 1985 K30 "one ton" Single rear wheel, Big Block, 4 speed, NP 205 T-case, Dana 60 Front, 14 bolt FF rear, Silverado, A/C, Power windows and locks, carpet. Black paint, Black interior. I know everybody is different. This is my opinion...

    Question about R4 "Pancake" AC compressors

    You will need a new drier/filter and an adapter kit for the quick connects. Probably a new orifice tube. I have this set up on my '85, but it is with the reverse rotation serpentine belt set up. Make sure you get the compressor that fits your v-belt set up, as well as the same inlet and outlet...
