    @#$%$# shock hardware

    I wish would have documented removing my ancient lift that was on my truck..... been on it since the mid 80s, the front was a breeze but the rear leafs and shocks were no joke. I had to trash a set of vintage Rancho shocks too, shame.

    Electrical woes....

    Im going to try the jumper method first to eliminate that as a probable cause, you think things would be easier on a truck that started life as a 2wd automatic with that piece of junk 5.7 olds diesel.....

    Electrical woes....

    I think wires 3 and 4 need voltage.... it says "feed" then a explanation of what the wire is. Unless I am missing the big picture, which is also likely.

    Electrical woes....

    I'm going to check more this afternoon once I get off work, I think I may have found the issue if I am understanding the GM wiring diagram correctly, think I missed some wires when I was hooking things back up that I thought I didn't need any more....... most likely it was me being an idiot that...

    Folding Rear Seat on 1984 K5 Blazer

    Silly question, are you collapsing the back first? You fold the seat down with the lever on the passenger side first, then you pull the lever on the floor. Not trying to be a smart a-- or anything, just remember the first K5 I had.

    Hot wire to fuse box is new, just ran it, even pulled the wire from the bulk head and replaced it, I have power to fuse box just nothing key on or ignition.

    Electrical woes....

    Because if this means it receives power I may have figured out what I did wrong..... and I feel like an idiot.

    Electrical woes....

    I am using a MSD dynaforce starter that only has the S terminal which is ran to the original ignition wire from the bulkhead. I also went to a MSD one wire alternator that is running directly to the hot post. I am going to make sure everything in my ignition switch is still aligned properly...

    Electrical woes....

    No new rack just the switch, and it was all adjusted and working properly a year ago but..... big but, since then ALOT has happened but nothing that I would have though would have jacked with the alignment on the rods. I'm sure its something that I neglected or done to it while messing with...

    Electrical woes....

    Can do, I've already printed off the whole 1979 wiring diagram on 11x17s and had it there yesterday. I know my issues was there at the column because everything is a green light up to that point. Should there be power at any of the ignition labeled spots on the fuse panel before this? Because...

    Electrical woes....

    Yes..... I know it sounds like a rigging and... it is, BUT. The switch is just hanging out under the dash in the park position I thought, which is why I was wondering how to remove the switch entirely to eliminate it from being an issue or culprit. Would the neutral safety switch take away...

    2 or 4 inch suspension lift??

    4in rough country complete spring lift with 35x12.50s, I had to extend brake lines front and back and get the correct steering arm so nothing was binding. I'm glad I didn't go with 6in, didn't really need it, and my truck is already a heavy truck ride stiffness wasn't a big concern for me. All...

    lets see some pics of your projects

    better idea of what the 4in spring lift and 35s look like together, that's also new cab mounts and core support mounts.
