Hey all, I'm looking for some help finding a 2 piece fan shroud (pic for reference) for my ‘83 K10. It's a 305 WITH A/C and pparently the top fan shroud piece for trucks with A/C is harder to find.

Update 07 Mar 17... Everything is good to go, she passed inspection. Got the drums resurfaced and set/adjusted the brakes like you said. Thanks for explaining that for me RThiel.

Parking Brake help
Hey all, hope you guys can help me out, I'm no expert. I just got a 83 K10 as a project. I took it to get a safety inspection and the parking brake failed because it doesn't hold the vehicle in place even when the transmission is placed in gear and accelerated. The cable was very loose...- Tyson_87V10
