    '74 Crew Cab Dually 4x4

    Also the front leaf spring hangers and supports are bolted in and not rivets. The shackle on the front spring also looks a little off. Sweet truck and looks in awesome shape for the year. All the ones around here are toast and have been well overworked.

    Hazard flasher and brake light interaction

    Instead of a switch to shut off your break light switch run a relay that kills the brake switch when the Hazzard button is on.

    1977 Tan Color Identification

    My very first square body was a 76 and its a spitting image of your last picture there as I can remember. The color of it was neutral they called it. We used to call it the Granny panty.

    Ignition power issues

    Gm ignition switch is also not a very good design and can cause all sorts of weird problems. Also if you add any kind of a msd coil or super coil put it on a relay. Cause the ignition switch is the power to the coil.

    Wanted: Spare tire wheel well and or part number

    Got it all boxed up. I took a wire wheel to it quick just to clean it up some. The shot of the close up hole should be repaired its a little weak there. Other then that its solid.

    Drivers side air vent

    With one of these guys and patience. There's screws that go all around the vent hole. Or you can pull the e brake assembly off to the side to get a rachet in there. Also there's a seal on there that can be little stuck on.

    Canadian shipping

    Yeah most were ups ground. And like 6 to 8 weeks delivery. I stopped by there shop the other day and there doing over the phone orders only and email transfers for payment. Not overly fond of that method.

    Canadian shipping

    So I'm or was going to be ordering some parts for my suburban here so once I hopefully slow down in work here in a couple of weeks I can start doing some stuff. Sure I can get body panels easily enough but interior and some custom suspension parts are through the roof on shipping duty and...

    Another electrical question

    Rear heat possibly. I just took a suburban apart and if I remember the top was window and the lower one was rear heater fan.

    how to delete auto door locks

    On the right side of the steering column just above the gas and brake pedal is the relay for the door locks. Trace those wires and see if anything is tapped into them.

    '87 - 5.7 TBI, Separate Temp Sensor & Sending Unit?

    That kinda looks like the oil sending unit for relay for the fuel pump. Your guage sending unit should be between spark plugs 1 and 3 with a green wire going to it

    Wanted: Spare tire wheel well and or part number

    Got it out in a little under 10 minutes. Was relatively pretty easy. It's in pretty good shape aswell. Not bent at all and the worst rust is in the last picture. But now I got a hole in my suburban lol. And kinda glad I took it out. Salt in winter does bad things to nook and crannies here and...

    Elec window switches

    I ran into this on my suburban and on the inside of the plastic connector that has the blue nut the wire was broken inside there. Not the easiest thing to fix.

    87’ Black Thunder !!!

    Those are some major upgrades on that unit for sure. Did you get if for a good price since buddy got it on a trade? Definitely recommend getting rid of those rear blocks and do a shackle flip like said. Also I see your missing your torque converter cover. I would find one if you're keeping the...

    Wanted: Spare tire wheel well and or part number

    His grandkids run the gas station out there and they say he's like a grumpy version of rust valley restoration guy. I'll get a shot of his yard when passing through next weekend. I went up to his yard one time and its all gated up with a shoot first ask questions after sign on there.

    Wanted: Spare tire wheel well and or part number

    There's supposed to be a guy out toward my lake that has 20 plus suburbans and squares but is tough to get parts off of anything. Been trying to meet him but he's always grumpy lol

    Wanted: Spare tire wheel well and or part number

    Don't got one of those. Here some pictures of the wheel well. Looks pretty mint. Little bit of surface rust on the lower part there but nothing major. Now getting it out without bending could be tricky. My seam sealer looks pretty intact.
