    Wanting to add a couple 6x9s to my truck...need help on enclosure

    Thanks for those pictures! I'm about 5' 10" so not terribly tall, but I'm not even sure if my seat will adjust forward or back lol. Its just an old farm truck and it fits well now when i sit in it so I haven't bothered trying to adjust it. Where did you get those corner boxes at?

    Wanting to add a couple 6x9s to my truck...need help on enclosure

    I don't have any speakers in the rear corners, it's just blank sheetmetal lol. I guess I'm gonna buy a couple different 6x9 boxes at best buy and see which ones fit best where. I think I have the 4x10s in the dash, so I think I'm gonna do the two 6x9s in the rear and replace those in the dash...

    Wanting to add a couple 6x9s to my truck...need help on enclosure

    Yeah I saw those. I just don't know how they will sound since they aren't sealed. Does anybody here have these and can give some feedback on them?

    Wanting to add a couple 6x9s to my truck...need help on enclosure

    So my 86 k10 currently does not have a radio, or at least the current radio doesn't work. I'm planning on buying a new headunit and add a couple speakers just to get some sound in there. For now I'm just going to add 2 6x9s until I have more time to put a couple more in there. The easiest...

    Suggestion for exhaust

    Any suggestions for what I should do after the h pipe? I want this truck to be loud, was thinking about either running the exhaust back and putting turn downs right before the axle (essentially a straight pipe) or running it out to two small mufflers then turn downs. Don't want to spend a ton of...

    Suggestion for exhaust

    I was able to pick up some good condition long tube headers, anybody have any suggestions for the rest as far as true duals vs an h pipe? I know i want to do turn downs probably right before the axle.

    Wanting to add cassette player to my 86 k10

    Thanks for sharing. Do you have a link or a name for that radio? I couldn't really find anything just by searching for delco radios.

    Suggestion for exhaust

    Yeah heads are stock. That makes sense though, its definitely more for cruising with just occasional mud, but if i go through a mud hole i usually go in 1st or 2nd gear as opposed to the granny gear. I just wasn't sure how this tranny being geared so low would be affected with more low end...

    Wanting to add cassette player to my 86 k10

    So I bought this truck a few months ago and want to redo the stereo. Previous owner installed an aftermarket single din head unit and it currently doesn't work. Are there any good options for adding a cassette player to the truck? Or should i just try to find some old aftermarket one and rig it up?

    Suggestion for exhaust

    No engine is stock other than a new holley quadrajet replacement carb I'm also going to be putting on it. I should have said that the engine came from a late 70's corvette. All I really know is that it's a 4 bolt main small block 350. When i bought this truck a few months ago it was pouring oil...

    Suggestion for exhaust

    I have an 86 k10 long bed with a 6 inch lift and 35s. It has the 4 speed and 4.10s so it's geared really low. I'm wanting to change the exhaust on it but was wondering when choosing headers or crossover pipes if I should go for more power in lower rpms or something that will help out with higher...

    Just bought '86 K10...need advice on steering and motor

    It looks like it has a raised steering arm but I'm not sure how it would compare to the stock one to verify. Pitman arm looks stock though. It has had this lift on it for 10+ years, maybe 20, who knows. The drag links are perfectly parallel with the ground though so would I need to worry about...

    Just bought '86 K10...need advice on steering and motor

    Yeah I saw everything on LMC. Would run me about $360 for everything except the steering box. I saw some moog parts a little cheaper and some a little higher so it was kind of a wash to just get moog. Just can't find a moog adjustment rod. Hopefully they can help me when I call tomorrow...

    Just bought '86 K10...need advice on steering and motor

    Hey every, new to the forum. Just bought a '86 K10 long bed 4x4 4spd from a buddy I went to high school with. It's a little rough but I love the way it looks, but wanting to make it more reliable. It has had a late 70's corvette l48 350 engine put in it, but it leaks a lot of oil (been sitting a...
