have ya thought about a 255 85 and running the old highboy look?

dont be alarmed its not electrical its a faulty float in the tank my 76 did exactly the same thing on mine i ended up going through the floor as mine has a class 6 tow package welded to the frame in 12 places as well as the 1/2 inch thick tank skid plate so dropping the tank was a worse option...

looks like a good starting platform i have a 76 gmc 3/4 ton suburban that seems to always be in a state of change. as for the thing on your fender it is the cruise control servo mine has the same thing let me know if you have any questions

well technically the 3/4 ton 4x4 suburban did have one engine larger than a 350 that was the 400 small block but was phased out in the late 70s( my 76 had one) but it isnt a choice i would recomend it ate more stock than my built 454 turning 4.56 gears and 35s does now. i pull an evg of 11 mpg...

i agree with the nod towards the ford. the 300 was virtually bullet proof and parts availability shouldnt be a problem as not only are they found in millions of vans and pickups from 65 to 96 they were also found in many ups and other box style delivery vans, tractors industrial generators and...

my 76 came factory with dual batteries but the wiring was routed back to the fire wall and across with the rest of the original harness before popping out over the main distribution block and down the drivers fender so i think you are definatly going to be looking for 80s era set ups i would...

running a 33x12.50 is gonna be tricky stock. you will have to run less backspacing to keep the tires from rubbing the radius arms but when doing this the tire wants to rub the edge of the bumper and fender and theres not much room to trim without cutting into the inner fender well. now running...

another thing that is fairly simple and cheap is an upgrade to a set of brighter sylvania silverstar bulbs i paid 45 bucks for the pair for my 89 f150. they were advertised to be 75% brighter not sure id say that but it did make a huge improvement also i have found on alot of these bricknose...

shoulder belts were an option for gm trucks in those years and easily swapped in just buy some belts from a 79 or later gm truck pop off the small plastic plugs on the pillar and there ya go

little bit of rust is fairly easy to fix as long as its caught early. as for 331 on your current 7.3, the 7.3 was one hell of a stout engine and the last really good diesel to be installed in a ford if you ask me and they are well known to run many more miles than you currently have. plus if the...

love the old crew cab dually. looks alot like one a buddy owned back when i lived in oregon. by the way what part of the willamete valley? i used to live in donald down near champoeg

id say you should be ok with a short bed. if you need a bit more space remember there is always roof racks but missing 2 ft would make a huge difference in maneuverability especially in those pesky parking lots but if you really want the extra cargo space a crew cab long bed is fully capable of...

unless your doing alot of very tight technical trails i see no problem with a crew cab long bed i use a crew cab with a 12 ft flat bed for work all the time only time that its been an issue is tighter corners and i have to watch the break over angles alot more closely by the way mine is a all...

well looks like the wife has made the decision the 454 will be getting bored and stroked as per warwgn suggestion but will end up in the 67 impala the wife adored the old caddy and says it should live on and so it shall. tourqasuarus as my wife called it will be the new powerplant for the...

guess ill add my old girl to the mix its a 1976 gmc k25 running a 454 th400 and np205 turning a detroit locked 14 bt and d44 with 4.11 gears its riding on a 4 inch tc lift and 35x14.50 micky thompson baja tires

yea i know about the needed adapter but i was planning on dropping the th400 and going with a 4l80 and np241 combo or a 205 if the 241 cant survive if i go caddy i should be able to keep the 4.11 gears with the 37s as well

yea i was talking to a guy from cad500 company he swears about a grand and my 472 should clear 400 hp and 550 pd ft all below 3,200 rpm and hit 14 or 15 mpg in my application almost sounds way to good to be true and thought he maybe just one hell of a salesman and selling me some smoke

yea if i was going fuel injection id just go all the way with the efi 454 from my buddies 2000 3500 as its complete ready to rock but would take alot of work to convert my 76s electrical system to run it as well as the fuel tank he said with his truck saw around 12 city 14 hwy on a crew cab 4x4...

so ive decided that the old 454 in my gmc is about ready ready for a rebuild or a whole new engine as i have also been tinking about using the ls5 for a 67 impala so here are a couple options i have. i have a complete low miliage 1970 caddy thats to rusted for resto that can donate its engine i...

i would have to agree and say go suburban while im not the biggest fan of gms ifs on thier 4x4s if your not offroading alot its a mute point but the ls engines are definitaly a huge plus for going gm. they arent to bad on fuel for a large suv and with fuel prices high they can be had for a...
