    What have you done to your square lately??

    my step side has a rhino liner from PO on top of the wood, now I dont know when it was put on but the wood underneath is real weak and rotted, (way too flexible) but it does seem to be holding up well as far as sticking to the wood.

    What kind of dizzy should I be looking for?

    Dizzy says delco remy on top, and it doesn't have a vacume, I think it's for a newer model truck, on the other hand I too wouldn't mind 8-9 mpg if and that's a BIG IF I had the power too go along with those perspective numbers

    What kind of dizzy should I be looking for?

    Thank you guys for all the helpful information I counted three wires coming from the dizzy I may be wrong though I just took a quick look see in there. Now to order a new dizzy off of eBay the parts store here in town wants $120 for one and the junk yard wants $49 so I will just order it off line.

    What kind of dizzy should I be looking for?

    What kind of dizzy should I be looking for?

    I have an 84 k10 with a 305 and I was told I have the wrong distributor ( mine has no vacume advance) and that is part of the reason why it lacks major power going up any kind of hill and gets 8-9 mpg. I am planning on making a trip to the pull a part here when money allows. So I guess my...

    Remove unknown lift on 84 gmc stepside

    Well the whole reason behind removing the lift is I like the stock height look, there are blocks above the rear axel but nothing in the front so I would assume that the front has lift springs so it shouldn't be too bad to remove then huh??? Have to start looking for some front springs in my area...

    new heads???

    i didnt pay too much for the truck considering what people are trying to sell them for around here, $2800, and i had to keep the beer cans in the bed, best part about it all the leaking i believe has kept it from rusting, but i dont really like the step side just not my taste honestly

    new heads???

    the thing of it is, if i take it to a machine shop and they tear into the heads, and find more and more stuff wrong with the heads wouldn't it cost more to fix, as compared to buying new ones?

    new heads???

    I bought an 84 K10 with a 305 and i believe a 350 trans, well upon driving it home I figured out this truck has no power at all going up hills, the PO said that it needs the valve seats redone cause it burns oil and leaks like a stuck pig. I get the truck home and tried to clean up as much of...
