    RPO Code 67 Nevada Gold Metalic 1986 K10

    Thanks Keith! I may have looked at that exact chart and focused too much on the numbers below the colors and not noticed the RPO code up to the left! But a lot of the listings I found for 86 GM Truck paint codes skip over 67 ? I'll check out WA8799 Bob

    New clutch won't depress!!

    Cody, when you re-assembled everything did you have to make any drastic changes in the clutch linkage like something had changed or parts weren't the same? the throwout bearing needs to slide smoothly on the trans input collar, drop the linkage between the bellcrank and the Throwout arm. see...

    454 HO gas mileage

    Point taken! but I believe a well tuned 454 with a TH400 behind it and 3:42 gears shouldnt really notice the difference between 31's and 33's at highway speeds? just out of curiosity fireman what rpm are you running at doing Highway speed with the 33's ? Maybe I'm all wet here, I've not...

    454 HO gas mileage

    I see your math and agree with it to try and stay close to the final drive ratio as you started with. BUT if everything else stayed the same and you switched your truck from 31's to 33's your highway millage should have increased a little, not gone down 2 mpg. 33's have a greater...

    454 HO gas mileage

    What's you're theory that switching from 3:42 gears to 4:11's is gonna improve fuel millage? I'm thinking just the opposite? RT
