    Printed Circuit Question 79 K10

    Thanks to all of you for the good suggestions. The reason I had not gone for the new circuit option was twofold - one the PCB's have many different options (knowing LMC has 78-80 w/out tach) excluding the obvious tach option which I don't have for example mine has 4wd indicator some don't mine...

    Printed Circuit Question 79 K10

    My problem is left turn indicator light is not working. All other gauges and lights working fine as most are new. On the back of the Printed Circuit Board the copper ribbon wire has a break in it wide enough that I will need to make a jumper. Question is how can I attach a jumper to this copper...

    Which Mirrors are BEST quality?

    I also put on the stainless ones from LMC, fair quality but going down the road the wind would blow them in tightened up all the way. I had to get multiple pieces of 1.25 inch wire harness shrink wrap and put on the stem before they would stay. Be careful with the O-ring type seals on the top...

    79 k10 th350 major leak help

    Just finished a two year restoration on my 79k10 stepside. There is a huge trail of transmission fluid leading up the driveway to my truck. Seems to have blown out all of the fluid while parking the truck in my garage. I searched for the leak, transmission cooler lines fine, speedo cable was...

    Take a look at this rust spot, please.

    What I had to do on mine was find a replacement roof from a Junker. I just needed the passenger corner where the windshield pillar is welded to the roof and about a 3 inch strip down the top of the windshield about 18 inches. Cut out my old one, welded in the replacement smoothed it up, a little...

    Transtar 2k Epoxy Primer Problem

    So my truck bed (cab is done) is at a body shop where I do all the grunt work sanding, grinding, welding, mechanical and the shop does painting, bondo etc. I do all the sanding/prep between coats. One of the young guys just out of body shop school mixed/sprayed the 2k epoxy primer after I had...

    Transtar 2k Epoxy Primer Problem

    Looking for any Ideas here, 4 weeks ago stripped stepside bed down to bare metal. Then applied 3 coats of 2k epoxy primer. It has been cold and the primer won't cure finally warm enough to put out in the sun but still will not sand without gumming up the sandpaper. I let the guy at the shop mix...

    Correct me if I’m wrong.. stepside bed ?

    The angle strips on each side were spot welded in and had threaded studs welded in to go through the outer boards. LMC and others make outer angle strip covers that go over the top. If the threaded studs are in bad shape you can carefully grind them off/punch them out & then drill holes in the...

    What Are They??

    What I did on mine was get a forstner bit the same diameter as the washers with square holes and counter sink them 1'16th to 1/8th inch so the washers will not spin. If you notice the square hole is not dead center but offset which makes spinning impossible when counter sunk. There are some...

    How close are the aftermarket doors?

    I recently installed two new doors from LMC for my 79 k10. I got the premium doors which were a little more expensive but good quality and in stock now. Took awhile to get them lined up since I was installing fenders also and even the factory fenders had varying shims in them. Late model Chevy...
