A drop pitman arm for an 80s chevy is 112 dollars and a raised steering arm (curved peice) is only 50 bucks so less than 200 bucks to get steering back to stock 80s geometry. That's easiest and cheapest solution so that's probably what I will do.- 87carl

On 80s trucks if you lift them...- 87carl

Ford axles can be hard to find I can get 32 spline input shafts and a bearing kit for the np208 online pretty easy 90s chevy frames that aren't rotted or cracked are impossible to find around here and usually if you can find one there not cheap and you still have independent front suspension...- 87carl

Ok I figured it out the pinout I posted the other day was right on wire functions but not the colors and that is what was confusing me along with the fact alot of threads say the start wires are heavy gauge wires. They aren't. I just spent the last hour reading wore diagrams testing the wires...- 87carl

It was dark by the time we got home so I wasn't able to trace the wires on the z71 yet. Dneel81 I found and read your thread.

The clutch pedal switch has 4 wires 2 solid purple and 2 purple with white stripe. Does anyone know how they are supposed to be wired in?

That is the wiring printout for the 4l60e range selector / neutral safety switchs 7 wire connector. There's also a 4 wire connector but none of those wires are needed. For a 5 speed conversion we need pins C E F and G on the seven wire connector. Pins G and E are for the neutral safety switch...- 87carl
