Thanks for the feedback! We ordered the seat off eBay. I didn't get a part # for it, but it was a cloth, electric power seat from a 2020 Silverado. Quite a few listings available on there!

I highly recommend using this site to help figure out what ratio to run. www.grimmjeeper.com/gears.html Depending on your planned use of the truck, you can figure out engine RPM vs wheel speed. Generally, for a cruiser with a small block in it, you want to be around 2000 rpms at highway speed (65 MPH). Hope this helps.

@ thank you I appreciate that. This is my first build in 40 years. I did two frame off restorations on Blazers in the early 80s but I have been busy with life. And I’m in my 70s and I need something to do so I am rebuilding a 1985 short box K 10 it is a complete frame off restoration. I won’t be doing a lot of four-wheel driving with it, but it will be a daily driver. I am having a small block 383 stroker motor built. It will be about 450 hp.

@ second reply I just went to the website you had recommended. My transmission is a 700 R4 and third gear is 1 to1. The overdrive is .70 do I make my calculations based on third gear or do I make the calculations based on the overdrive ratio?

@@mikeellis2944 you'd want to make the calculations based on overdrive, since that will be the gear you'll be driving in while cruising down the highway. Sounds like an awesome build!

They are Tuff Country shocks

We're not sure, the customer supplied those

Nope, it didn't! I had a bad wheel speed sensor that I needed to replace and just hadn't yet

I have a few videos that document the seat set-up in the truck. Here's a link on what I did: ruclips.net/video/5gfSLTfmx1E/видео.html

@ thanks. Awesome repurposing

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, this year will fit a k20.

Thanks for feedback! Hope the install on the '75 goes well!

Customer went on a little bit of a hiatus, but car is still being worked. Just delayed a bit

Thanks for the feedback!

We do, if you're interested in us reviewing a product you can reach out to us @ midatlanticcustom@gmail.com

Did you check if you have a fuse in for the power seat?

@ No😅 it doesn’t have one going to buy one today! Which type of fuse should I get?

@@midatlanticcustoms I got the AT4 seats I think I need a memory bypass harness

Yupp, they sure do. Anything you don't regularly service gets red loctite! I may have used blue in the video, was out of red when I was recording.

I know, we need to start producing them!

I would buy a set of the brackets in a heartbeat. ​@midatlanticcustoms

Good tip!

Good to know, I missed that!

Customer requested it 🤷‍♂️

Yes, I did. These calipers have bleed screws on both ends. So, you can orient them on either side.

The wheels on this car are 15" rally wheels. Thanks for the feedback!

I did consider it, I actually went back and forth between borgeson and redhead. At the time, I liked the fact that borgeson had the quick ratio box designed specifically for the K10 (C10 and K10 steering gears are different). So, it was plug and play without having to change over to crossover steering. Can't remember if redhead has the same setup or not

Best thing to do would be to pull a measurement on your truck between front and rear wheels, and then search for a set of steps that fit into that dimension. The 2019 F150 crew cab steps had to be cut down on this truck, so would likely work on the K20

Given that the K20 is 131.5" Wheelbase vs the 117.5" of the K10 shorty, you might not need to cut anything off of the boards. It does not look that he cut more than 14" off. I would expect that mounting bracket the rear will be a lot easier on the long box. I might do this on my R3500. 🖖😉

@@midatlanticcustoms ok

What did you not like about them?

@@midatlanticcustoms the front seat on the driver side keeps coming up and the console doesn’t tuck under and stay when you lift up the console the piece comes out

@@samuelshears8633 I thankfully haven't had issues with the driver seat, but I agree on the console. It's frustrating

@@samuelshears8633 for the center console it's not installed right. The holds are either not in properly, or the center console piece simply isn't tight enough. I had the exact same problem, it took a few tries to get it right.

@@samuelshears8633 as for the front seat, try getting by the driver floor board and pulling your straps towards the front of the truck, that will get the cover a lot tighter than you could from the back.

Thank you for the feedback! On some of the early A-body cars you will have some interference issues, so calipers will need to be installed on one side. On this car there was no problem on either side,, so just decided to install on the front. Install should be identical on rear of spindle. As far as the gasket goes, I'm pretty sure it isn't necessary. I don't remember installing one, but it has been a while since we did this. Thanks again!

Thanks for the feedback! You lucked out not having to worry about the DFM!

How did you find this out??

Website is: clazzio.com

Non-perforated vinyl in black

Thanks for the feedback! I personally would...but I don't have any experience with how GM dealers might react to this. My biggest concern would be, GM says you're altering the logic for how the engine is designed to operate and they void the warranty on the truck if you have issues. You could probably mount this in an inconspicuous location, and then just disconnect whenever you're having service done / reconnect afterward. But, maybe others have had different experiences.

@@midatlanticcustoms great point. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback! The seat is one I swapped out of a F250 super duty. I have a video on the install: ruclips.net/video/5gfSLTfmx1E/видео.html

Thank you for the feedback, glad it was helpful!

We appreciate the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback! eBay is a great source. A lot of salvage yards listing parts, a lot of times with free shipping.

Thank you for your help. This is what I was looking for. Great video.

@@gmanc1995 thanks!

Couldn't you just use the existing airbag..?

Glad you liked it!

Glad it helped! Good luck!

Also will stock suspension work with this kit or did you have to Frankenstein a bunch of pieces together?

The suspension kit is from UMI. It is their GM A-body Stage 2 kit. Summit sells the spindles.

Yes, stock suspension will work with this kit.

Details on disc brake kit: www.wilwood.com/brakekits/BrakeKitsProdFront?itemno=140-10996-DR We're using wilwood's master cylinder with this kit. You can check them out on their website above.

Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear it worked out for you!

This took about 3-4 hours total

Thank you for the feedback, glad it was helpful. Good luck with the gear swap!
