    C10 to K20 Body Swap – Driveline Issues

    My first thought is that the mounting location for the engine is wrong. If you have the capability I think you should attempt to place the cab on the frame horns to see what the clearance is from the firewall. That will be pretty telling for if the engine is located properly. You can use an...

    AC Delco AM/FM Radio For Sale

    This radio should work. I plugged it into the stock harness and it powered on and put out static. Couldn't test the FM function as the antenna wasn't plugged in so no reception. Comes with support bracket. $50 plus shipping. Willing to meet locally in the Detroit metro. I'm planning on attending...

    Factory A/C Conversion for '86

    I have most of a factory setup sitting in a box. I also cut out the firewall for the AC specific parts. I don't have any of the lines, the compressor, or the condenser. The truck I pulled it out of had been engine swapped and they never hooked it back up. PM if you want to try to work out...

    Stake Pocket Body tie downs

    I haven't done it yet, but my plan is to install some rivnuts in a couple strategic spots inside the bed to have installation points for hooks or other hardware that I deem handy. Then I don't have to worry about the backside being accessible.

    Center Dash Head Unit

    I haven't started bought anything yet, but my plan is to get one of the modular head units from pioneer, something like this. My dash is uncut and I'd like to keep it that way. So I will try to mount the main body of the head unit in the stock radio location and put a blank plate over it once...

    Dual stabilizer install

    I ran into this issue as well. There are two different tie rod options on these trucks. If you swap to the other style it should work. Or at least that's my hope. I have the parts to swap to the other tie rod style, haven't installed it yet.

    Rockauto Discount code?

    Yeah same. I just knew of that prior so I still do it when I need a code. Way superior than trying to get something off one of the scuzzy coupon sites. I never seem to have any luck with those.

    If you are ever looking for a new one in the future the rockauto subreddit has codes all the time. Just search "rockauto discount code reddit" or "rockauto discount code site:reddit.com"

    This came out of the window switch. HELP

    You can buy new pigtails direct from lmc truck. If your pigtails are in the condition that this type of thing can occur it might be worth just replacing them. I think they are like 10-15 dollars each. Takes about an hour to swap them out

    Best Spent $$ for Square Restoration

    My 2 cents on restoring, is don't buy everything in one go. I've been in the middle of a restoration for several years at this point and I've bought multiple of several things because I can't find what I originally purchased. So even though it may cost slightly more in the long run, buying...

    I have no power to anything in the cab

    You probably blew your fusible links. All power for the cab in stock wiring comes from the battery voltage lug of the starter. You should have a big 4 or 6 AWG wire running directly from the battery to the starter. Connected in the same place on the starter will be 2 smaller red wires (10 AWG?)...

    What is this thing, and other questions

    I just bought new pigtails from LMC. Seem well constructed, and were way nicer than messing with the 30+ year old ends. Worth the $10 a pop just for ease and that they fit way nicer than the old ones did. https://www.lmctruck.com/1973-87-chevy-gmc/door-glass-parts/cc-1977-87-power-window-components

    vent windows

    I pried primarily on the part of the frame that holds the glass. The gap seems to originate from a tweaked pivot joint. The little arm that holds the pivot rivet translates into a lot of movement in the window location if it gets tweaked. The goal if you have a gap is to try and tweak that...

    vent windows

    Just a note for some people on this issue. I had the same problem after rebuilding my vent windows. Couldn't figure out where the gap was coming from with all the seals sitting nice and the pivot rivet installed. I called precision (I used their seals) and spoke to someone in their vent window...

    Do you have a fleetside bed on this or a flatbed? Interested in what you did for filler neck routing
