    Here are some pics of the trans on the trans table already partially disassembled. From this point right here is where all the hell starts.

    Turbo 400 Build

    The 86 C20 I bought for $100 had a bad Turbo 400 in it and a piece of broken glass in the rear sliding window. So here we go with some pics of the carnage and the rebuild. This was actually almost a FREE rebuild, but because I upgraded 1 paticular part. I have $25 in this trans. I'll explain as...

    80's truck box

    If all you need off of it is a bed swap, buy it, swap beds and resell it. Most people interested in 1 of those type trailers aren't caring much of the condition of the bed as long as it will hold their junk, and roll down the hwy safely.

    66chevystepside-the rebuild

    If I understand your question, you are asking if you can bypass the boxes. If so YES you can and that would be all you have to do, but before you do that, lets verify for sure thats what its for before you go doing that, or you may fry something, like the ICM.

    66chevystepside-the rebuild

    I'd imagine it could run on 6volts, but not likely as good. I know the truck will run with a points dizzy getting 12volts, just the that the points would run hot and burn up in a short period of time. I have never tried to see if an HEI will run on 6V. Easy to find out. Turn the key to on...

    Getting a Another Truck, Need Help Please.

    Same Dave other than the obvious cosmetic differances. GMC has more standarad equipment options than Chevrolet on base models is all. Like smooth ride suspension for example.

    Are these boxes kind of a stone or ceramic looking thing with wires comeing in one side, exiting on the other? If so, that sounds like a ballast resistor.

    Do I fix it or rebuild engine?

    Throw all the money at those heads you want, and I don't see them breathing good enough to justify 700CFM. You must be running a hell of cam, all I can say. If you are going to all that to this motor, then you won't need the 454. This 350 will do what you want it too just fine. Just wondering if...
