  1. Brand new and will see its first snow later this year. All wheel drive.
  2. Another way to go would be to see if the 1990 backing plate fits your earlier axle. If the backing plate swaps then you could get everything for the 1990 application and the cables will fit front to rear.
  3. What a pain. The rear cable numbers I gave you (92882-93228) also fit the 1983 P series step van chassis and the P series came in different wheelbases. I would think get a longer intermediate cable and cutting to the correct length from that chassis would marry the two set ups together on your Suburban. First stop is to find a salvage yard to snag the actuating levers.
  4. Mack allows for 90, 80W-90, 80W-140, 85W-140, 140 weights of gear oil. SAE grade of GO-G or GO-H. Shouldn't need to add anything to it.
  5. Better make it 500 so you have more room for those alphabet trucks!
  6. Nice! Going to need a bigger garage!
  7. Yup, fly to pieces! Then again, a little 600 weight steam cylinder oil might help...
  8. That will be a handy tool in the toolbox! Does look a little different running the low profile rubber.
  9. Pretty sure the o ring is a Wix 15114 or Baldwin G157 if you need to get a new one.
  10. Ahhh, mix and match parts just to make things easy! Here are a couple of numbers for 1983 GM 3/4 and 1 ton rear cables to add to the might work dept. NAPA UP 92882 43.11" long NAPA UP 93228 45.25" long
  11. Nice score on the fire truck! Never can have too many spare parts.
  12. Ouch! Yeah....those bearings look ugly! The R box looks good.
  13. I have used PG Adams and have found their rails to be a good quality product. With budget in mind, I would keep the existing rear suspension. The OEM rear suspension will do better off road than the air. But, if you plan on bob-tailing often than air ride does have allure. It will make a bad ass tractor!
  14. Sorry, don't have GM numbers. Here are some NAPA numbers for a 1990. If your vendor is someone else, they should be able to cross the numbers. LR cable UP 93898 52.56" long and RR is UP 93254 at 77.6" long. These cables are for various 3/4 and 1 ton GM products including the 1990 Suburban 3/4 ton 4WD with the corporate 14 bolt rear axle. Had some experience with a 1986 K2500 Suburban with 13" brakes but I can't remember what the cable ends looked like where they attach to the backing plate.
  15. RH is more than likely 15649194. What year is the Suburban?
  16. Here is a Dynatard diagram out of a 1979 Mack Service Manual for the R model. The wire listed as 16RG3 comes from the dash switch.
  17. Autocar and friends
  18. Beautiful 1985 Western Star 4964 showing off some sexy OEM chrome pipes.
  19. Looks like a mess. Wish I could send the week of rain that I am sick of back to them out west.
  20. 1989 Marmon 57P tractor.
  21. "Figure out what you want for a shop, double it and then make it 50% bigger and it will still be too small. " Ain't that the truth!
  22. When it is safely in your yard, you will need let us know where you found it and details of the chase. Like the beer keg air cleaner!
