"New" motor- what to go through?
Noticed no smoking, idled well. Started very easily. Holley carb and Edelbrock intake. Looked like the oil pan may need a new gasket- everything else seemed pretty clean. Anyone have any advice on what to look at when I get the engine out and on a stand? Thanks.- scottyknows50

"New" motor- what to go through?
Tomorrow I am going to look at a '77 parts truck for my '79 K10. Truck comes with a running 383 stroker that I would like to use to replace my 350 eventually. Anyone have a list I can use to check through it? Or do I just get a re-ring or rebuild kit from Summit, do that, and call it good...- scottyknows50

Speedo not working
No wires to it. I took it off and the cable still didn't work. I thought I read that there was a gear that breaks in the transfer case that drives the cable. Guess I'll have to search for that. If anyone can point me in the direction of a "diy" it'd be appreciated.- scottyknows50

Speedo not working
Here's a pic of what I have going on underneath: Looks like the 205? Would someone add this for bigger tires/different ratio? Anyone seen one like it before? Thanks.- scottyknows50

Speedo not working
Put on a new cable, turn the cable with a drill and the speedo turns just fine. Hook it up to the transfer case and I get nothing when I drive. It looks like it has some sort of adapter on the transfer case- anyone know what it might be? I now assume this piece to be the problem. It's dark...- scottyknows50

Could be better, but I've seen a lot worse! 1st thing on the list is the rear leaf springs. Looks like the K20 springs will fit if they're 52 inch. Some on craigslist close by. Hope they work out.- scottyknows50

Just bought a '79 K10. Looking to run it for a while and then probably restore it. Someone replaced one of the rear leaf springs with the wrong one so it has a bit of a lean to it right now, grr. Also the bed looks like swiss cheese. I will have to find new metal for that, or maybe a wood...- scottyknows50
