    Control Arm Shaft Kit Spacer

    Yeah man, that's exactly where I ended up finding them. I took all the spacers and shims that old rust bucket had to make it worth my while.

    Control Arm Shaft Kit Spacer

    I snapped a stud on my upper control arm on the road and lost my shims and that one convex rectangular washer/spacer. Can I use any type of round convex-type spacer or do I have to spend $12 for one measly spacer at LMC? I realize they allow the shaft to pivot so it seems anything will do but I...

    Fuel Gauge Drama

    >>update<< Sorry it's taken so long to report my findings. As the title says, it's just been a bunch of drama. So basically, even though I was able to plug the sending wire back on to the sending unit, the fuel sending unit still didn't work. So first, I pulled an old sending unit out of the...

    Fuel Gauge Drama

    I did my best to verify that the tan wire going from the sender to the gauge was indeed intact and connected. I have yet to test it with a multimeter because of schedule. According to the chart you attached, it does look like the correct wires are connected and tan in color. What I did want to...

    Fuel Gauge Drama

    *update* In the pictures I attached you can see that I successfully reattached the sending wire. You can also see the ground wire which seems to be properly grounded. I also attached a photo of the transfer valve which had no hoses attached to it only one black wire which ran to the fuel...

    Fuel Gauge Drama

    My fuel gauge stopped working. It was pegged past full. So I crawled underneath and discovered that the sending unit plug came detached from the tank. So now I have to figure out how to plug it back in without dropping the whole tank. In the process of elimination, I decided to eliminate the...

    "GMC" Stepside Tailgate

    Hi, I'm searching for a 'GMC' tailgate for my '73 stepside. The majority of the ones available are in bad shape. Doesn't have to be perfect. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Thanks.

    Dim Driver Side Tail Lights

    I believe I found the problem. There was one black wire disguising itself as an orange wire, dangling under the motor near the frame. The black wire was connected to the orange wire by some sort of weird sealed round white plastic fuse holder looking thingamajig. I grounded it to bare metal on...

    Dim Driver Side Tail Lights

    I have a 73 GMC Stepside. The driver side tail lights are extremely dim. It's pointless to use my left rear blinker because all it does is make the whole lamp pulsate. Passenger side works fine. HOWEVER, I did notice that even on the passenger side, the reverse light remains on but very dim when...

    73 GMC Grille

    Thanks, fellas. I picked up an aftermarket one on partsgeek for $20! If I don't like it, I'll get the nerve to cough up a hundred bucks for the original one. I kept hearing billy joel asking me if I was gonna cruise a miracle mile...HA!

    73 GMC Grille

    Greetings! Forgive me if a thread already exists on this matter, (didn't find one) but I am trying to locate a 73 GMC grille with 350 emblem. Can someone point me in the right direction besides ebay? Just trying to touch all bases. Thanks. LMC and all those other places don't sell them. Thanks.

    Truck is not getting fuel

    I put new oil press switches with a shiny new pig tail. Still no fuel. I noticed my ecm B fuse keeps blowing. Any suggestions? I just replaced the ecm b fuse and it started. I replaced that same fuse 2 days ago and nothing. It just started but it kept choking out and dying the first few...

    Truck is not getting fuel

    I bought this truck a year ago and I'm still going through it trying to repair things. In the first photo, I found 3 orange wires. One of them turns into blue which connects to the oil pressure switch. The other two orange wires were cut off. I'm assuming these are the wires for the electronic...
