Looking to swap in a 6.2 into my c10
Yeah those 6.2's are great on mileage. Yesterday I took my truck out on the highway and holy crap, She has power now. Just that timing change changed everything. Start better, runs better, has better power and throttle response. Now I am second guessing myself again lol. I've been doing that way...- 83_c10

manual trans I have found.
I'd like a 4 speed manual. Love to have a 5 speed manual but don't know how well that would fit in my truck. I would have to take the bench seat out, which I am planing on putting in bucket seats anyways. Now that I bring that up, would I have to modify my cross member to get a 5-6 speed in my...- 83_c10

Looking to swap in a 6.2 into my c10
I'm going to add on to this. I am thinking of building this truck so I can withstand some stuff. Pretty much a home made tank lol. First off that 305 won't last long. I need something that will be strong enough to pull heavy loads but not so massive and hard to work on when it breaks down. Turbo...- 83_c10

Looking to swap in a 6.2 into my c10
Yeah I know that lol. I am sure I could get a 6.2 in and running in nothing flat but my garage is freaking small lol. I would have to put my 305 somewhere and get the 6.2 in and running so I could move the truck cause that bitch is freaking heavy. Those little imports are easy to push by...- 83_c10

manual trans I have found.
I have found two replacement transmissions. I don't much about these trucks so what trans would drop in with least work. Napa has a Sm465 and a NP833. This truck is a 2wd truck. Has a 700R4 in it now. I want to know what trans I should look for. I am going with the Z bar set up. I know the...- 83_c10

New from Nebraska
Lol that's funny. I know a lot of chicks from cali and well I'll be honest they are freaking weird. At least there's no emissions here lol. Anyways, I love seeing others from Nebraska. You definitely know where people are from when they are wearing a heavy coat and gloves when it's only 60...- 83_c10

Air bag suspension.
That's what I thought. Still going to lower her though. I am shooting for a classic look but with modern twists. Nice and clean. Pretty much a sweet cruiser/daily. Leave the high performance stuff for later in the build.- 83_c10

Air bag suspension.
Okay before I have said I am thinking of doing a static drop but now that I have a job finally lol, I am leaning more towards a full air ride suspension. I have worked with air ride suspensions on Semis. What I am wondering the most about having this kind of suspension is will my long tube...- 83_c10

Looking to swap in a 6.2 into my c10
My truck has an after market oil gauge. Go's to like 100 psi I think. Anyways I am thinking of either getting a new truck that is a diesel or swap diesel in. I am thinking just getting a diesel truck would be best. Now that I have gotten all of the gremlins worked out of my truck. Was debating...- 83_c10

Stupid dome light!
Okay y'all this is really ticking me off. Since I owned this truck the dome light has never worked. I put a bulb in it and it used to blow fuses but now it doesn't. I replaced the wiring pretty much. I tested the new harness out and it didn't light up at all. Never knew getting a damn light bulb...- 83_c10

Edelbrock questions
lol thanks guys. I have it timed at 4 degrees. I tried 10 and she don't run right. I haven't replaced the dis cap in awhile and the pump probably does need replaced since it's the factory one lol. Yeah I haven't updated it either lol. I have to recheck my stuff again to be sure I didn't mess...- 83_c10
