    Rust prevention

    I've been looking on YouTube about rust prevention for the doors of my truck. There is no rust in the doors at this time. Would like to keep them that way. I saw a video about melting petroleum jelly and pouring into the bottom of the doors. This got me to thinking about other products made...

    Inaccurate fuel level reading

    My fuel gauge reads a little over 1/4 of a tank of fuel when full. The truck has dual tanks and the gauge reads the same way on either tank. Because of that fact, I'm thinking the gauge is the problem. However, I wanted to check with folks in the know if anyone has experienced this as it could...

    Replacement steering wheel

    Hello all! I need a new steering wheel and thinking a 70 Chevelle 3 spoke type would look nice in the truck. The question is whether it would bolt in without any modification? I would buy the mount kit with the steering wheel from Austley's Chevelle parts. Thanks

    87 R10 has spark and fuel but won't start. Was driving and engine shut down. Pulled plug and grounded it and there is spark. Had wife crank truck and saw injectors squirt fuel. Any ideas as to what has happened and what to look for?

    Throttle sticky

    I know this has been covered before. I have read most of the posts concerning a sticking throttle cable. So here is my problem... I have installed a new cable, verified the TV cable is not binding. I can operate the throttle manually (throttle cable off TBI) with ease. The throttle cable has...

    Exhaust on a lowered truck

    1) I have noticed that the stock exhaust seems very low under the truck. Is this normal or could this be an issue done by the previous owner? The exhaust (where it joins at the 'Y' prior to cat) is the lowest part of the truck now. I think I have seen this before on other squares. 2) It's also...

    Rack and pinion

    Has anyone installed rack and pinion steering on their truck? I just completed a 4" front drop along with a 5" flip kit. My only real complaint is the steering which may be due to the alignment. I used a rack and pinion in my 65 Corvette and am very pleased with the improvement. Looking for...

    Air Conditioner drain

    My truck, 1987 R10, has developed an interior leak from the a/c. I have noticed the carpet is wet under the a/c box that's under the glove box. It doesn't seem to be coolant. Where would this normally drain? Don't want the floor to rust.

    Chipping the ECM

    Has anyone put a chip into a 87 R10 5.7 TBI? I seem to remember chips from the past. This is my first pickup and also my first computer controlled vehicle. I figure there should be some kind of performance mods for computers. Can anyone recommend a chip?

    Power window motor replacement

    The driver side motor doesn't move the window. When I rock the switch I hear the motor 'clunk' open/close, but the window doesn't move. I don't feel the window try to move. So I figure the motor is locked. Or could there be a piece out of place causing the lock? What is the process to replace...

    Poor Ground

    The 87 R10 I have acquired was a barn find. It sat in a barn for the last 15 years. Most of the mechanicals have been delt with. However, I am thinking that the electrical connections are less than perfect. My fuel gauge only reads to 1/4 of a tank when full, the drivers side power window opened...

    1987 Assembly Manual

    Does anyone have info on where to buy a 87 R10 Assembly manual? It seems that if I had bought a 72 or older the manuals are available. But not available for the 87? Do I need to look in to old dealerships to see if they have the info? Assembly manuals provide quite a bit of info on how the truck...

    Best Chrome bumpers

    I just bought a '87 R10. It needs a rear bumper. I have a diamond plate type step bumper and want a smoother bumper without a step. After looking at the bumpers that are available through the online parts houses, I have a question about who's bumpers have the best chrome. I see 'premium' bumpers...
