    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    FINAL ANSWER… The sidewall max is 50psi. I wanted the tires to be properly inflated but 50 seemed too high so I got close. I just dropped all 4 tires from 45 to 35psi. What a difference! I think gas shocks are next? I’ll have her in a caddy in no time. First truck so she doesn’t have...

    I dont know what the leaf package is, I assume it’s stock. Here is a pic of it.

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    I didnt realize all the info needed for the questions. You’re right they’re 31x10.50x15. It’s a 350sbc. I’m going to drop the pressure on the tires (pressure was filled to max psi)and see how that may help, thanks.

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    Yes, a friend has a tire business. We were wanting them for the look at the time, not the ride quality. Now, I’m sending my little to college with this thing. I want it to be as 77 cadillac(y) as it can be.

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    It’s an old work truck. Miles are non relevant. Bought used with no idea how many times it rolled over. I’m thinking 190k at least. Tires are 33x50x15(?) (EDIT: 31x10.50x15) close anyway on 15in stock wheels. My profile is truck but I’ll try to upload the $hitbox it is. It is her daily now but...

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    I think Bloodhound had a good answer. It rides like a dream (baby nightmare) with a load in the bed. She doesn’t haul anything with this truck. Guess if she wants it, new leaf springs and a few bags of concrete. Because of course, she wants the stock 16 slot wheels and beauty rings. On A/T...

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    It’s not a rotisserie restoration. I’ll put money in but, she wants the “old” truck. I just want her to have a smoother ride. i.e. dont spill coffee on the interior we just redid. Too bumpy for that right now even on a concrete hwy.

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    My daughter is taking her 87 tbi off to college soon. We have replaced front end including tie rods, pitman, idler, ball joints(upper/lower) front brake disks, rear drums. We also put on Monroe OE stock shocks for safety at the time. This truck rides like int on the farm, even on smooth hwy...

    WTB tan door panel, specifically driver electric window.

    Thank you. I have the switch, I dont have the connector for the back of the switch. I also dont have the wiring schematic to make that 4 switch adapter only use 2 switches. I appreciate it though.

    WTB tan door panel, specifically driver electric window.

    I’m not sure why I cant post in the wanted section? I have an ‘87 single cab R10. I need a used, tan interior door panel for electric windows. The one I have came from a suburban and it looks ok but the window switch obviously is too small for the 4switch hole. I live in the Waco, Tx area and...

    I finally gave up.

    Find an old dash and have a local upholsterer rewrap it. They work great! Built to fit.

    Issues with seatbelts

    I have a standard cab. Ran a little over $200? Can’t really remember but not ridiculous. This was a couple years ago. She communicates really well and returns them in 2-3 weeks?

    Tina King on FB restores seatbelts. She would be able to answer any and all questions you have. This is a set she did for me.

    Dual Tank Switch Problem

    I just replaced everything and mine is acting similar. I’m new to all this. I heard things like pump ran dry and failed, pinched hose, etc. I told my welder son all this and he asked, “did you use flux when you soldiered it?“ …uuuhhhh, what is flux? So now I have to redo the wires, and i was...

    Right tank install

    Got it thanks. I had the straps in the indents but even just a half inch off on both didnt allow the brackets to line up to holes. I had to tighten the straps after the brackets were bolted in. Using a tape measure helped the most. I just needed to know ”exactly“ how far apart they needed to...

    Right tank install

    87 R10- I have purchased all components to install the passenger side tank to the frame. I put the tank in the brackets and it didnt line up. I tried adjustments with no help. I know it’s close but do any of you have a way to install the brackets exactly on the tank where it will easily lift...

    Changing from 16gal tank to 20gal tank.

    1987 R-10, I’ve dropped my 16gal tank and am going to install a 20gal. I noticed today that LMC shows a different shaped filler neck for the 20. It’s more U shaped than the 16gal L shaped. Can I just put a rubber hose extension on my 16gal filler neck or is the different shape necessary? When I...

    Dual tank fuel gauge makes no sense.

    This diagram helped me connect the correct fuel sending unit when I deleted the selector valve and passenger tank. It’s in my thread, “help! tank delete”.

    Fuel sending unit help

    My 5/16 was fuel to engine, 3/8 was return unused fuel to tanks and the 1/2 was vent. I’m 7 days behind, did you get it all squared away? These are photos of my deleteing the passenger tank and the tank selector valve.
