Re: My 86 build
I ordered up a GMPP "Muscler Car Oil Pan Kit" pn#19212593....my crossmember sits on the ground and from what I've seen the truck oil pans hang down 2" below the crossmember, I also need a new dipstick and tube...so now is as good as time as any to change that over, plus I want to take a peek at the bottom end...

How did you hook up the schrader valve? I have the bags brackets and the 1/2" lines. What do I need to do and get next to hook up the schrader?

I got a ptc tee, 2 ptc 90*s and a 1/4" npt adapter for the valve...90*s in the bags, run the airlines up to the tee, I have it sitting on the rad support...you can kinda see it in the pic on top of the rad shroud.

Re: My 86 build
$900 Does not seem bad at all, I was just wondering what they normally go for because I don't see anything but a replacement engine when my 6.0 gets tired. I have 177,000 miles on mine and still runs strong. Trans. has some wear but still pulls 10K lbs with ease!
