    Stock Radio

    Anybody have a working, decent looking radio they are looking to get rid of? The one in my truck, comes on and off when it pleases. My truck is a 86 Silverado if that matters in hooking it up. Thanks

    Silly Question about gas pedal

    So maybe I have been super spoiled with drive by wire these past 17 years. But is there a way to lube the gas pedal cable? It seems to take a good effort to push the gas pedal. I finally got the truck on the road and stretched its legs. After driving it a good decent distance now, it seems my...

    water getting into cab

    Hey Gents, I noticed a damp carpet in our new to us '86 Silverado 4x4. I did a little investigating, I believe it is coming in from the vent in kickpanel. The truck is a a/c truck and was sitting for about nine years. So it has it's share of old leafs/sticks in every cab crevasse. I...

    GM 10 Bolt Automatic Hub Part breakdown

    Hey guys, I have searched and searched before I get flamed. :sorry: I can't seem to find the automatic hub parts break down. I went to replace a front caliper and there was a ton of slop in the hub. So, for the first time ever, I tore down the automatic hubs. I have a snap ring left over...

    Running block in the rear.

    Stupid question, But running block in the rear for a 4" lift, does this hurt towing capability? Or should I just go for the all around spring kit? I am after a nice stance with 33". I have narrowed it down to this kit. Or at least I think I have lol...

    Front end roar(drivers)

    So I have a drivers side wheel bearing going bad I believe. So my question, as I am SFA inexperienced. Is the roar coming from the end of the axle tube before the knuckle, or is it the knuckle end of the axle? Where the tire bolts to. My second question is, if I removed the auto locking hubs...

    HEI question

    Hello guys, So the other day the truck randomly shut off and I lost spark. To make it a short story, while putting in the new ignition control module. I noticed that the four way plug wasn't plugged in. I left it unplugged and the truck came to life even faster then when I first got it going...

    Looking for a small lift and decent ride

    Hey guys, Looking through the threads, and haven't come across any with the small lifts (2" or so) on the half tons. I would like to keep ride quality near the same or better. Yes I know it's a truck and should ride like a truck. But I don't want the ride of a dump truck. I have heard and read...

    Fuel flowing back to tank after shut down

    Hey folks, So I don't know if it is normal or not. But I noticed that the see thru filter that the gas appears to be flowing back to the tank. What gives, is this normal? I installed a new mechanic fuel pump. The truck did sit since 2009 and figured it would be a good thing to do while I was...

    Help to locate or proper name to find particular rear bumper

    Hey guys, So my first upgrade for the 86 is going to be a specific bumper. I can't seem to find the name or the few pictures I've seen of them. They are, or so I think more common out west TX/CO/WY/NV area. They are chrome/stainless, and are thinner at the bed corner (like a stock bumper) then...

    Hello From Memphis Area

    Hey guys, I'm checking in from northern Mississippi. I have finally gotten the truck I have wanted since I was a lil guy. The wife allowed me to get a 1986 Chevy K10.
