Manual trans option questions
Does anyone know what manual transmission is the easiest to put in? My truck is a factory 5 speed, with everything still functional. I’m just looking for a transmission with better gear ratios. My 5lm60/np3500 whatever it is has a really low first gear, with pretty wide spread gearing. I want...- sbnova

Steering box info
My steering box has some slop that I'd like to eliminate. It's absolutely in the box. I read that is a Saginaw 800 series, I believe, and that it is a very common steering box. I checked my local junkyard and couldn't find an exact replacement. All the gmt400 series trucks had worn out boxes. I...- sbnova

I searched but did not find one.... Does anyone have a schematic for the HVAC system on a 1988 c1500?

5 speed questions
I've been searching and come up with plenty of 4l60e answers, but virtually nothing for 5 speeds. I know there are a few different m5's used in these trucks. I have a 1988, and I need to replace the clutch and the trans input seal. Will any Chevy 12" clutch work? I've always liked Exedy, but...- sbnova

TBI air cleaner differences question
Ive got a 1988 C1500 5.7 TBI, and it has a TBI unit with one stud for the air cleaner. I found a factory air cleaner I plan to use, but the lid has two holes for two studs.

C1500 rear bumper
I need a new rear bumper for my 1988 c1500 fleetside. Do the tahoe/ suburban bumpers also bolt on and fit? Do they have the same frame mounting brackets too? Thank you- sbnova

another shock question- yes I searched 1st
I bought a 1988 c1500 reg cab, short bed, 5.7, 5-speed. I c-nothed the fram, flipped the axle to the top of the leaves, and started looking at shocks. Ive done a bunch of reading, and a bunch of searching and what I have found are mostly opinions. I clearly see how at a ~6" lowered stance...- sbnova
