new to me K5 6.2

[bashepard]

Ok, Picture time. I posted on here a while ago, but just actually bought my 1983 K5 6.2 diesel. I payed for the membership and judging from the treasure trove of info here it will be a good investment. I plan on searching feverishly, however, if you guys have links readily available...

I need.
- Fuel routing diagram. (I gotta replace diesel return lines)
- Temp gauge action. Mine doesn't work.
- Tune up info fluid recommendations and such.
- Best economical option to go from stock to 35" tires.
- Dash is f'ed up. Replace it? Cover it? Rip it out?
- The power windows are slow or unresponsive. Switch to manual? replace motor? Just clean it?

Looking forward to scouring this place.

Good looking truck, all it needs is a set of 1 tons and 40's!

Sounds like what I'll be delving into,...I'll be buying a '87K5 w/350/TH350/NP208. Seats are sun bleached,mouse nest needs to be cleaned out beneath the hood,plus old hornets nests in the driver side door. But the tranny needs some attention. So wish you all the luck in your parts search and restoration.
