    Engine start issues

    If you have saddle tanks with switch have you tried both tanks? Check your fuel lines for kinks all the way back to tank (s).

    New Tires, What should I do for wheels?

    You can never go wrong with the old school stock Chevy rally wheels. I’m talking about the slotted gray ones with the chrome lip ring and plastic center cap. If you go the other way, I would definitely go white.

    Clutch pedal not fully returning

    Cab bushings are all new. This was pretty much a total frame off restoration although some older parts were reused, such as the clutch and brake pedal box and linkage.

    Clutch pedal not fully returning

    Hello all. The clutch pedal on 76 GMC K 10 sticks on return at the free play point near the top. I can pull it up with my toe after each depress but it’s annoying. Both return springs are in place and zirk grease fitting on clutch bar under truck has been filled with grease. It appears the pedal...

    Replace all seals on all driveline components including main seal when you have the transmission out. Guarantee everything is leaking. From your comments sounds like you have your work cut out for you. Lol

    Blue Print or GM Performance

    Seems about right. Not sure where our government is getting the 8% inflation rate. Playing us for fools as usual. Seems almost everything I’m buying is anywhere if 20-40% higher. Including services.

    Whats the going rate for shortening a driveshaft? I think I got....shafted

    I paid $600 to have a custom made double jointed DS made. Which is the correct way to get the angles correct and eliminate DS vibrations on a lifted truck.

    Quality Diff cover recommendations needed

    Thanks guys. I found two black aluminum I like and should work. Apparently they chrome the inside mating surface is not always chromed evenly thus causing leakage. Or some of chrome chips off also causing leakage. From what I have learned the chrome ones often leak.
