    Replace A/C entirely

    So I have had nothing but trouble out of my AC system since I bought my truck a few years ago. I’ve been through a couple compressors, and now the heater core is leaking. I’d like to just take all the old out and replace it all with new parts. Could someone who knows more than me list out...

    Going from auto to manual?

    I'm deciding the direction I was to take my 86 and just wondered how difficult/possible and what all would be involved to switch from the power windows etc to manual roll ups? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Already ordered, now questioning fitment

    So I may have jumped the gun a tad but I already ordered a set of 20x8.5 MB Old School wheels and 275/40R20 tires all around. The wheels have roughly 5" backspacing. The truck is stock height for now but I plan to do a 3/5, spindle/flip eventually. Is this going to fit ok or did I just screw...

    Swap in newer ring/pinion?

    So I currently have the original rear end on my 86 C10, an open 3.08 (which is whining increasingly louder). I was wondering if say I happened upon a ring/pinion/lsd setup out of a much newer truck/SUV at a salvage yard, could I just swap them over? I'm seeing center chunks out of 02s and...

    Dash emblem question

    So, my truck has the Silverado option package on it. As I redo it and such I'm wanting to change from the brushed aluminum to the textured black with silver accents that was stock on custom deluxes and scottsdales I believe. My question is, will the little Silverado emblem fit on one of the...

    Any difference in stepside beds through the years?

    So Im thinking pretty seriously about trying to find a stepside bed for my truck to swap over from fleetside. I just wondered if there are any differences through the years that I should be aware of on the stepside bed designs etc? My truck is an 86 so Id like to find a "matching" bed for it...

    Grill moldings?

    So Im on the hunt for some of the center grill moldings for 85-87 trucks. I am updating the grill, have the grill itself, new parking lenses, and so forth but I cant find the cross moldings that are painted body color with silver trim and run under the bowtie anywhere. Does anybody know where...

    2wd to 4wd?

    I'm sure this has been asked 10,000 times so please forgive me, but how difficult would it be to convert a 2wd to a 4wd? Obviously you'd need a front axle, transfer case and all that but is it even possible, meaning are the frames different etc? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dakota Digital switch/button placement?

    Hey guys, well I'm about halfway through my install of the VHX gauges and I see that they come with two momentary switches to control the different little displays and I wondered where people had decided to put them? I don't want to really drill holes in the bezel, but don't really know of a...

    Aftermarket headlight question...

    As you may know from my other posts I changed out my factory sealed beam headlights for some aftermarket H4 halogen headlights. I wired them up basically just in place of stock but I'm having two issues. The first issue is some sort of power bleed going on. When the dims are on the brights...

    Carb linkage help?

    Alright so yesterday I got my new intake and carb installed but Im confused on how to link everything up to the new edelbrock carb. Here is a pic of what I have going now. The cruise isnt hooked up due to a separate issue I'm having with it wanting to hang and not release. Anyway, the engine...

    Crooked bed?

    Alright guys, this has irked me for a while now and since Ive added the new bumper Im determined to figure it out and correct it. Ever since I bought the truck the back end has been unlevel or just crooked looking. As you can see in the pic below, the bumper looks bent but it is brand new and...

    Shackle/hanger or lowering springs?

    I'm looking at lowering my 86 C10. Planning to keep it tame with a 2/4. I was just wondering what the opinions were on shackles/hangers vs lowering springs? Obviously the springs seem more expensive but I just wondered what the benefits of either were and what you guys would suggest? Sent...

    Rear axle swap questions?

    I have had a whining noise ever since I bought my truck and most everybody has agreed at this point it's the rear end. I'm in the auto shop black hole here and haven't heard anything positive about shops to install new gears etc in my existing housing. Anyway, I have access to a 77 10 bolt...

    Decent quality bumpers/hoods/tailgates?

    I'm trying to decide where to get some new bumpers, a hood and tailgate from. Or if the branding of said items even matters. I have already bought a cheap front bumper from eBay and literally cracked the chrome during installation. Wondering if AMD or other companies are of superior quality...

    Lowering truck, already level?

    I'm in the process of deciding how I want to go about lowering my truck a bit. Im leaning toward drop spindles in the front and shackles in the rear but I'm open to suggestions and interested in what I need to avoid. What would you guys suggest to get down about 2.5" or so in the front? I...

    Quad to Edelbrock carb swap, what do I need?

    Hey fellas, the truck died on me this week. Turns out the pickup coil was bad in the distributor and must have been going bad ever since I bought the truck in March as it runs like a completely different animal now. Went ahead and put new plugs and coil on it while we were at it. Anyway...

    Flighty steering, what to look for?

    Ive noticed since buying the truck that the steering just seems very flighty or loose. I understand its a 30 year old truck, but still it seems excessive to me. I have a good 3-4" of back and forth sway in the wheel for general driving adjustments. So, having that said, what are the usual...

    Performer EPS vs Performer Air-Gap?

    I'm starting to look into changing my intake and carb out. Pretty much decided on the Thunder series 650cfm carb but I'm torn on the intake. What are the benefits of each of these and which would you choose? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Radio issues, any ideas?

    Alright fellas, I'm stumped. I installed new dash speakers today (RF 3.5s) and some new rears (RF 6x9s) in the truck. It was a hassle. Come to find out someone had run a single din in the truck in the past and the dash was pretty hacked up. Wiring was also hacked up, antenna not even...

    Pics of aftermarket door panels?

    My panels are pretty shot. PO riveted the silver trim pieces into place on the top of the panels. So I'm looking to replace them with some aftermarket ones as stockers are usually worn and hard to find. Ive noticed different aftermarket suppliers offer different styles of panels. LMC seems...

    Exhaust routing? What did you do?

    Im starting to think about the exhaust on my truck. It's currently the stock manifolds to a y pipe and single in/single out muffler run out the drivers side. I'm planning to go with full length headers run to a dual in/dual out 50 flowmaster and I haven't decided on exit location or just turn...
