Re: 87 V20 D/D and Road trip Burb
The JD7 brakes are what I run on my Blazer. They're a bolt on for the half ton if you have the right year banjo bolts. Easy fix if you don't. The one ton brakes are a totally different animal. Not sure what all you have to change to make those work.

Re: 87 V20 D/D and Road trip Burb
Well it appears that I was wrong about the 4l80e not needing a controller.
I got 2 options. One is spending a few hundred $ and buy a controller, or use the harness and computer from the 91 parts truck. I am going to keep driving it as is and do some more research on the swap. so as far as the brakes are concerned. I went though the rear brakes, readjusted everything, bled them a bunch more times and got the brakes working good again. After a few wks of driving, the rears are slowly starting to grab a bit more every time driven. They now are locking up occasionally. Looks like I will be back in the system again. I wonder if I got the adjusters in backward. I had to put off my trip north to pick up the 60 until the end of this month. I picked up a matching master cylinder and hydroboost unit for a 87 K30 with a 6.2. I will swap them and a new power steering pump after the 60 goes in. |

Re: 87 V20 D/D and Road trip Burb
I need to try to keep up here.
I have been just busy with life. I just got back from a trip to Southern oregon. I have family and friends in the area and I was up there visiting a brother in law that was involved in a serious motorcycle accident. While I was up there I picked up another piece of the puzzle. A month ago I picked up these tsl's and mounted them on some stock steelies. The dilemma now is what color to paint them. |

Re: 87 V20 D/D and Road trip Burb
That last pic inspired another thing to add to the list.
A sunvisor. But not a re -pop. I want the rounded edge version and they are proving difficult to find and $$$. I found the one I wanted but missed out on it. After finding out how difficult they are to find, I had to jump on the next one that came up. I hope to go pick it up next month. Here is a pic of the style I want. |

Re: 87 V20 D/D and Road trip Burb
Here is the actual one.
It came off a similar colored burb. I hope it's in good shape. |

Re: 87 V20 D/D and Road trip Burb
Which leads me to this.
Boom! A trailer that can fit my burbs! My father in-law was selling it so I jumped on it too. I feel like I hit the lotto, but it's all hard work as payments. |

Re: 87 V20 D/D and Road trip Burb
It’s been a long yr.
I’ve been working on a friends truck that passed away. It’s a 75 k10 with 1 tons under it. I picked up this 84 c30 with a 6.2/400 combo, in the hopes of building a tow rig. I also got this Badass Buckstop Bumper! |

Lots of cool stuff going on in this thread. Funny I saw the "visor" in the pic too and it looked pretty nice.
