    Steering slack

    Yeah I replaced the idler/pitman arms as well. Everything but the steering shaft and column have been replaced. The gear box was a parts store reman. Have you seen or heard of anyone doing a rack and pinion swap on these trucks ?

    Steering slack

    Got an 89 C1500 that I have replaced the rubber disc on intermediate shaft, upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, and the steering gear.

    I don't believe it was a TBI motor. I think it's an 883 block or something like that. Yeah I was afraid the thumper cam was more of a sound rather than perf cam.

    SBC vs LS

    Hi folks I'm new and seeking your wisdom. I have an 89 C1500 I bought from a guy that was turning it into a bracket racer but couldn't finish it.
