    Best way to get my AC going

    I have this GM serpentine setup on my truck. I have never filled the compressor. I've been given vastly different numbers on making AC lines to hook everything up. Just wondering if it would not be better to just change the condenser and drier, then use the lines that would have been made for a...

    700r4 Issues

    I haven't been on here in quite a while. My truck went through quite a few changes, most for the better, but I have been through either 4 or 5 700r4 rebuilds in about 2 years. Here is my current setup. 383 making about 450hp/450 ft. lbs, NP208, 4.10 gears, 33's, 700r4. Last night the 700r4...

    Emblem Help

    My 1978 C10 had Silverado emblems on the fenders as shown in this picture. I was looking on Classic Industries and LMC and did not see Silverado emblems except for 1981-87 trucks. Are the emblems on my truck now not original or do they just not offer reproductions?

    Any Chevy Engine VIN decoding experts here?

    I have a 396 that was pulled out of my truck (not original, truck is a 78 C10) . I was told it was a 1969 when we went to get it and that turns out to be correct. My heads are 1972 heads off of a 402/454. My Block Casting number is 3955272, which is a 1969 396. My partial VIN is as follows...

    Will K10 shocks fit a C10?

    I have basically stock replacement shocks on my 1982 K10 and I have Cooper 31x10.5 tires on 6 lug 15X8 Rally Wheels. I am picking up some more 15X8 (5 lug) Rally Wheels tomorrow. I want to move the 31X10.5 tires over to the C10 and would like to move the shocks too if they would work. I am...

    What size tire with 17X8 Rim?

    I think I am going to buy some 17x8 rims w/ 4.5 inch backspacing for my 1978 C10 project. Does anyone know how wide I can go without rubbing anything up front? The truck will probably be lowered a little but not a ton, my roads are pretty rough at times, so I can't go with a straight low...

    Heater Core Problem?

    For a while now when my thermostat opens as the truck starts to get warm I get a a fairly strong odor of coolant inside the cab. There have been a few times when it was really strong and it almost seemed as if a mist came out of the vents if I had the blower motor on. I would have to have the...

    Replacement Bed Question

    I have this 1975 3/4 that has a pretty rough bed and tailgate on it. I am not sure that the bed would be smart to try to save. I am no body expert but it looks like it would add a ton to paint and body even if it's possible to be straightened out. I have not decided if I am going to put a...

    Problem with 1984 Z28 HO

    I just bought a 1984 Z28 HO for my daughters first car. My wife drove the car about 225 miles the day we bought it with no problems. Today I drove the car about 65 miles at all speeds up to about 75 mph with no problems. Once I was about 12 miles from home and taking off from a dead stop I got...

    Replacement Door Panels

    Is there a difference between the replacement door panels offered by LMC versus those offered by Classic Industries or Brothers? Just curious if they all get them from the same manufacturer or if they are different and one is higher quality than the others.

    Correct Replacement Radiator

    Does anyone know the correct Direct Fit radiator for a 1982 K10, 350, Auto, w/ac. This seems like it should be simple enough. A few months ago I bought an expensive aluminum Champion (I think) radiator and dual electric fan kit from Brothers. It said the radiator was a direct fit. It does have...

    Another Gauge Cluster Question or 3

    I am trying to get a truck ready for my daughter who turns 16 in July. I offered to buy her several different vehicles (a lot of the $$ is hers that she earned) but she insists she wants my daily driver truck. There are several things wrong with it that didn't bother me so much with me driving...

    Wheel Measurements

    I was thinking about buying some 8 lug wheels from a guy on Craigslist. He says that he doesn't know what they came from, just that they are 8 lugs. The opening for the hub looks pretty big. How do I measure bolt spacing and hub opening to know if they will fit my truck. We were going to...

    Engine Stand

    I need to buy a good engine stand that is sturdy enough for a big block. Will the ones from Harbor Freight be good enough or should I look elsewhere? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I don't want to buy junk.

    Removing a lift kit?

    I recently bought a truck that is lifted and I know very little about lift kits. The truck has 35 inch tires on it. I would like to lower the truck a little. I was thinking of going to 33 inch tires and was curious what the minimum amount of lift needed for 33's would be. How do I tell what...

    What Gear Ratio? 82 K10

    I have a 1982 K10 with a 350 and a 700r4. I am going to put a motor in soon and need to know what gear ratio I am running. Is there any way to know what gear ratio I am running other than looking at the actual gears.

    Another new member from Oklahoma

    Joined a little while ago, don't believe I ever introduced myself. I'm working on a 1982 K10 (daily driver) and I am about to start a 1978 2wd SWB that my Dad owns. This place seems to have a lot of knowledgeable people. I am sure I will have a ton of questions.
