My '91 uses ATF.

You have a '91 V2500, like mine, what type of springs, have on the rear axle, this type of car (52" or 56")?

 

[Slapperbar]

ntsqd, mine has the 350 also, but I'm 3/4 Ton.
Mag, I'm pretty sure the rears are 56". Leaf count is 3/7 front, rear.

The hazard switch is on the right of the steering column, pull out to engage them, push in to disengage. (Or is it the other way around?)

I was looking very carefully,on the steering column, on bouth sides, up'n down, and... surprize!!! I don't found nothing!!! NO hazard switch!!! Where can it be???

Push the button in the middle in to activate, pull the collar out to de-activate.

Leaf count is 3/7 front, rear.

What mean 3/7???
We don't use same sistem for measures, weights, etc.
For me, my engine is a 6.2 liter, for you, is a 379 cid, for me, the speed is 95 km/h, for you, is 59 mph, for me, my engine "eat" around 16 - 20 l/100km, for you, run around 12 - 15 mpg, etc.!
Sorry, because I can't understand everything...

Of course... Mine have only a little hole in that place... so, no switch!
At least, I found the place...

 

[Slapperbar]

You need to order one.
3/7... 3 leaves up front 7 leaves out back... 3/7

The switch is part of the turn signal switch assembly, those four pieces (the outer collar, inner button, spring, and screw) are all held to the turn signal switch assembly by that single screw. You'll probably see where the screw threads in, unless it was broken off somehow. The threaded portion is inside the column, so pretty hard to do that.

Maybe not, if I change with the signal switch - the cruise control not work anymore, because the wires are cut. What do you think?

A new subject for talked about: is obvious the fact, to change the weels - rims and tires, now I have 16x6.5 rims, with 265/70R16 tires (235/85R16 original); I want 16x8 rims, with 275/75R16 tires (a kind of 32x11x16). I want also, a suspenssion lift kit, but not much high (if it is too high, it's possible to have problems with the police and roads authority), around 2.5", but I prefer a kit, with front and rear springs, not with blocks on the rear. What is your opinions about lift kit, for that weels? Anykind of idea is wellcome.

 

[Slapperbar]

I like mine. Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ 265/75R16 load range E. The ride is GREAT! I'm looking into a Tough Country 2" lift myself.

Oh yeah... The wheels are American Racing Outlaw II.
Yes that's my WIFES jeep next to it.

Cool man!!! I like your truck! A classic line, decent, sober, no frill!
I have a picture, with a Suburban, for inspiration(http://s113.photobucket.com/albums/n221/MagnuM4WD/Suburban%20for%20modell/)! When I saw first time, I decide, mine will be the same: paint, rims, mirrors, body-line, etc., but with no labels, badges, etc., except the front badge, from the front grill.
Finally, I will do it, no matter how much time and money cost!

 

[MagnuM4WD]

I put some pictures with the axles, can you tell me, what type they are? Especially the rear axle. Thanks!!!

How can I take out the axle shaft? Is necessary to take out the differential cover?
I want to check/change the bearings. How I do it on the front wheels? It must take out the wheel hubs?
