    Fuel Doors

    I found what looks to be a very low mile original '78 K10. it has one fuel tank and no door, just like a '77. I thought all '78's had fuel doors? is it possible some early 78's didn't ?

    Finally Found Hickey Grille Guard

    After 2 years of searching I finally found an original Hickey set up for my K10. it was in Denver and straight as an arrow but it did take a some blasting and priming to smooth out. In my opinion nothing looks like Hickey, who made all the accessories for GMC Desert Fox and the Rockford...

    Armrest Pads

    does anyone know which brand of armrest pad ( 1977 ) is made of colored material and not just black with spray paint ? some ads say they're painted and some don't say at all. I know color molded ones were made because I bought a set a few years ago, but they don't have any identification...

    K10 front leveling

    My K10 has new stock springs but I'd like to get the front up an inch or so. The only I've seen are an add-a-leaf which will probably be around 2' and effect the ride. What about making new shackles about 1 1/2" longer ? that should raise it 3/4" and add a little caster that wouldn't...
