    K10 NEED LONGER WHEEL STUDS.

    Nevermind... that's not the part # I was thinking of. But the knurled area looks like it may not reach the hub? Does the rotor fit snug with those studs?

    Original color of my instrument panel?

    The '73-'77 bezels were made differently than the '78+ bezels. The earlier ones, if a trim level that got chromed gauge openings, the chrome was applied and then paint came after. On the later ones, the chrome was applied to the plastic just where needed.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    That original spare is awesome. I definitely geek out over stuff like that.

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    Here's mine. About a year ago, the little white tab broke off, so it got a new ring. The keys were grandpa's too. One set is from his '70 Kingswood wagon and I think the other set is from his '75 Electra. The Electra was his first brand-new car and also the start of his switch from Chevy to Buick.

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    The Columbus plant has been gone for at least 10 years now. Probably longer, but I've put it out of my mind. The place was always magical to me. Imho, it and the people within helped build modern America. It just looked so magnificent. They had a giant front lawn out on US 40 that was always...

    I've got the same keytag! It was my grandfather's and he gave it to me in the early 90's sometime. He retired from the Columbus Ohio Fisher Body plant.

    Weren't they mounted below the dashboard? And there was more than one because they failed often?

    @legopnuematic IIRC the clutch will be engaged during cranking. But I'm not positive on that.

    Air Conditioning Advice Needed

    I would definitely discontinue use until you can get gauges on it and have a helper with you to diagnose it better. IF the compressor is locking up, you don't want it sending anymore trash through the system than it already has. Try rotating the compressor clutch by hand. You should be able to...

    Headers

    There's two main styles of Hedmans for our trucks. One style hangs low and is super easy to install, but they tend to rub on the spring shackles. The other style tucks very well but is harder to install since starter removal is required. These are the ones that tend to interfere with auto...

    1977 Heavy Half fender emblem

    Like I said "if equipped". I'm sure it was like many things with GM at the time. The Big 10 option included a certain amount of options. But it wouldn't surprise me if each of those options was available separately. I've got no information to back any of this up. But if a truck was ordered as...

    1977 Heavy Half fender emblem

    The Bonanza option got it's own actual fender and dash emblems. But yeah, the Heavy Half and Big 10 option got a decal on the bed.
