    Fuel Tank Selector Valve Leaking

    Not sure why the valve has that vent on it, but if fuel is running out of it, it's leaking. Unfortunately they aren't made anymore. I need one too.

    K10/K20 frame

    https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/revisiting-k10-vs-k20-vs-k30-frame-specs.11279/ I found an old thread I hadn't seen yet, where a member has figured it all out. That thread should be stickied. I also have a feeling the frame changes that came in 1980 is when both sets of holes were probably...

    K10/K20 frame

    Oh, I've spent a lot of time looking at those. I hate how they are missing most of the pages though. I'd never noticed frame modulous in them though. It appears regular cab K10 and K20 have the same frame thickness unless it was the C6P offered in later years, like yours, which has a thicker...

    K10/K20 frame

    K20's would have because those came with 52 or 56 depending on options. I was just surprised reading here that K10s had both as well because they were the same frame, when (at least in 76) they weren't.

    K10/K20 frame

    So it sounds like K10 and K20 frames are actually a lot different then. (And what "manuals" stated this, btw? I'd be interested to read it.) A lot of bad info floating around then it seems. An no, there is no "indication on the frame" of where the mount would go. I'd just have to measure 4" back...

    K10/K20 frame

    The main question though was does anyone here have holes in the frame to mount the bracket for BOTH 52 and 56 springs? I've seen a dozen threads here that say K10 and K20 frames are the exactly same. I think this is probably wrong, at least it was in 76. No K10 had 56in springs, and my K10 frame...

    K10/K20 frame

    I was at a salvage yard last weekend and almost nabbed the rear springs off a 76 K20. My truck has the HD front spring (3 leaf) option, but not the HD rear leaf option, and the front sits noticeably taller than the rear (that HD front spring also rides like garbage). My dad said he remembers the...

    Rough ride even with 3+1 leaf springs

    I'd be curious to know how the ORD custom springs compare to the Tuff Country ones they also sell for a lot less. I need to do something on mine. It has the HD front spring option on it and while it provides a 1" lift over the standard duty spring, holy cow is it stiff. It was meant to have a...

    Central pneumatic / HF air compressor

    The HF 20% coupons in every damn flyer cannot be used on compressors. I haven't owned that specific compressor, but I owned a 25 or 26 gallon and have used a couple other HF compressors. They've been good units. I wouldn't be afraid of buying a HF compressor again. I sold my HF to my brother...

    New member needing fuel tank selector valve

    Hello. Just signed up because I need a new one of the elusive 6-port single-wire fuel tank selector valves and figured this would be a good place to ask if anyone has one. The forum won't let me post in the wanted section. If anyone can help me out, that would be great. Thanks!
