    Oops. Probably shouldn't have done that.

    If you only have one tank installed, you could just eliminate the solenoid and just install hoses from the existing tank to the fuel lines going up to the pump. Minimizes failure points and simplifies life on the whole. I went the other route and installed a factory aux tank and complicated my...

    Replace old pump or keep it?

    I've rebuilt the pump, hydroboost, and steering box on mine. They aren't hard, you just have to pay attention to the details. I think the steering box was the scariest out of the bunch since if you mess that up you could lock up your steering mid turn. I tested the crap out of it before I...

    You need to plug that large vacuum port on the front of the carburetor and I would go for one of the thick carb to intake gaskets. They're about a 1/4" thick or so and would help to keep the carb from heating up too much. Something like this...

    C10 lift options?

    If you're talking about tires then yes, but not by much... Conventional tire designation like ***-xxRxx describes the dimensions of the tire. The first number is the width of the tread in millimeters. The second number is the sidewall height as a percentage of the tread width. And the...

    73 c20 Suspension replacement.

    Body bushings will go a long way to decreasing the amount of squeaks you experience if they've never been replaced before.

    C10 lift options?

    I thought about lifting mine years ago, but not really all that feasible. So, I just went with slightly bigger tires and kept the stock suspension height. The 31x10.50R15s really look at home in the wheel wells and gave me roughly an inch on ride height. I've also debated on going to...

    Backfire at WOT

    I want to say that a backfire through the exhaust would be a super rich condition. May have gotten a little too much juice from the accelerator pump when you goosed it.
