    Thinking PS pump is going south...

    So recently, the last 2 or 3 mornings I'm getting a power steering whine usually at stop or very slow speeds but not all the time. I checked the fluid and its right on the cold line like it should be before warming the truck up. I'm guessing the pump is just plain tuckered out after 40 years...

    Carpet for back wall.

    Hello from the PNW

    Hello all, I'm Dave and just recently pickup a 78 K10 Stepside. almost all original: different rear bumper, 4" lift kit, single exhaust instead of the original dual and a target 350. I bought as I needed a truck to use for house stuff and an incentive to finish my other project to start this...
