    Center/carrier bearing orientation - 76 C20 suburban

    Remove the dust cover, and add some grease to protect the bearing. Everything you put on the driveshaft could cause an imbalance. The rear dust cover is pressed on, not super tight but it's not coming loose normally. The front one is between the bearing and the thick part of the driveshaft. Is...

    A/C REBUILD w/R-12

    Have you already bought the compressor? A sanden style compressor would be a nice upgrade, they are more efficient.

    Welcome from Austria. Post some pics of your project. I have the same parts somewhere but the vacuum canister is leaking and the shipping costs from Austria to the US are ridiculous :). Rebuild transducers are available online...

    Introduction and BBC to SBC???

    Welcome from Austria. Some components are the same but you need the right brackets for the 350. New water pump. New exhaust pipes and manifolds/headers to the rest of exhaust system. That's what comes to my mind quickly. Go to the Rockauto page, select your truck year with the sbc engine and in...

    Hood Adjustment - Front Needs to go Down

    Are your hinges maxed out in movement? You can enlarge/slot the holes of the hinges at the fenders. You can also add shims under the hood for minor adjustment. Do you have hood braces? are the hinges new or the old ones?

    Differential swap / bought it, work and install now

    I use furniture dollies for moving axles around in my garage. I put my "shelved" transmission, engines, transfer cases and other heavy stuff on them so that I can easily move them around. No matter where I put them, there always comes a time when they get in my way.

    Nice! Glass bead blasting/polishing gives alloy wheels a nice satin gloss.

    Chrome bumpers comparison ?

    Welcome from Austria. I have never seen an aftermarket chrome bumper that looks like the original one. LMC has them, quality unknown. Westin has a universal step bumper. Eckler has one but it's ~550$. Find a straight one from a junkyard get it plated. A painted bumper would be cheaper for...

    Hello new member from central North Carolina

    Welcome from Austria. Check the donor engine, get it running, fix what needs to be fixed and swap it in. Check brakes, fuel systems, wires and hoses and it's on the road again.

    Differential swap / bought it, work and install now

    Regarding the brakes: On the old FF axles you have to remove the hub to access the brake shoes cause the wheel studs are pressed in thru the drum and then the hub. Rebuild the brakes and replace all seals in the hubs when you have them off. The hubs with slip on drum and press on drum are not...

    Bulkhead Connectors

    In that case a new harness doesn't make sense. Found the connector NOS on ebay, pricey.... Clips and fasteners has a lot of oem connectors and tons of other small parts. Clips and fasteners
