    TBI with no injector pulse

    This has to be a stupid easy solution that I’m overlooking, someone school me on this please. Truck is a 1987 (square body), with TBI. Truck ran and drove, transmission and transfer case were worn out, engine ran well but was leaky and dirty. Pulled all three, rebuilt transmission and transfer...

    Slight rant - what’s with all the cheap ass lift kits?

    This is more of a vent than an actual question, but what’s with all the lift kits being cheap crap these days? I sold one of my DD cars with the idea of picking up a 4 Door Wrangler for some off-roading. However, I ran across a 1990 K1500 RCLB for a fraction of the price, and thought why not...

    Anyone used shock extenders with ONLY 2” shackle drop?

    Like the title says - has anyone used shock extenders with ONLY a 2” rear shackle drop? Not necessarily for the suspension side of things, although it would offer a slightly better shock angle. My worry is that my new dual exhaust kit is closer to the shock on the drivers side than I care to...

    Anyone install a Redhead Quick Ratio box?

    The factory steering box on my 91 C1500 is closing in on 300,000 miles, and is very much due for a replacement. I’m looking at the Redhead boxes, and see that they offer a quick ratio box, which is 2.5 turns LTL or 12:1 ratio. Has anyone here made the switch from the factory 3.5 turn/15:1 ratio...

    TBI 350/TH400 to Vortec 454/4L80E - stand-alone ECU?

    I’m looking for a new hauling truck, and came across a 1989 Chevy Single Cab Dually 4x4 truck with a TBI 350 and TH400 transmission. Seller claims it’s a ‘2500‘ but it appears to have been a factory dually, at least according to the pictures, so it’s most likely a true 3500. The seller claims...

    1991 TBI Overcooling

    I’m having to daily my 1991 C1500 while switching out some vehicles. This was intended as a project truck so it really hasn’t been gone through as well as I would like up to this point. It has a TBI 350 that is overcooling to the point that I’m getting lukewarm air from the heater at best. All...

    LS3 / 2010+ Camaro exhaust manifolds

    2010+ Camaro exhaust manifolds, anyone running them on 88-98 2WDs? I use them a lot on the Square body conversions, they fit great. I’d imagine that they fit well on the 88-98 also, but search is not coming up with much. I‘m trying to plan for the future on one of my C1500’s. I have a whole...

    Any difference between early and late 2WD frames?

    Pretty much like the title says - Are there any differences between the early and later year 2WD frames? For some reason I remember the steering box mounting angle changing at a certain year. Is this true, and are there any other differences to be aware of? I‘m considering combining my two 2WD...

    1991 Chevy C1500 RCSB Version: I Have A Problem

    Picked this pile of a truck up the other day for $1200 to keep my other 7 trucks company. 1991 Chevy C1500 RCSB, 350, 700R4. Higher miles and rough around the edges, but has a clean title and isn’t rusted out. I’m just stupid enough to drop several thousand bucks on this nearly 300,000 mile...

    1991 C1500 15x10 wheel fitment

    I’ve tried to search this specific combo but I’m not coming up with much luck. I just picked up a bone stock 1991 C1500 RCSB. It will be getting a 2/4 drop (spindles/hangers/shackles). Years ago, I had a buddy with a 1996 C1500 RCSB Choo Choo Edition. The truck conversion came with the 2/4...

    Can’t find a 454SS, so I’m building my own!

    I’ve been on the lookout for a 454SS for quite some time now. Not many come up for sale here in Alaska, and the rare ones that do? Let’s just say they’re not worth their asking price. Anyway, I stumbled into a deal that was too good to pass up: I picked up this 96-98 Chevy SCSB 2WD today for...

    Most base model truck you've seen? 1989 Cheyenne K2500 4x4

    Has anybody ever seen one like this? I've owned dozens of these trucks, but never one set up like this! I just picked this truck up a couple of weeks ago for $1200. I didn't think much of it at the time of purchase as it ran (sort of), drove, has working 4x4, and the body was pretty straight...
