    700R4 flywheel cover

    I've been searching for a flywheel cover for my 83 K10 with a 700R4 with no luck. I can find the ones that are for the cars which don't fit, I have tried. Any guys up here with a 700R4 on their truck and can point me in the right direction.

    Blueprint 350 with Vortec heads

    Found a good deal on a Blueprint 350 with no miles on it that is sitting in a project truck. It is the one rsted at 373HP/400 TQ except this one already has the intake and carb mounted on it.

    Dash was cut for DIN radio

    When I bought the truck the dash was cut to accept a DIN radio. Want to install the RetroSound Hermosa Bluetooth unit. Do I need anything else to mount this radio? Didn't know if I need to rig something to make it work since the original dash was hacked up.

    The slot on my cross member is definitely on the passenger side. I'll change it around. I never took the cross member completely off when I changed the mounts. If it is backwards it's been like that since I bought the truck. I'll swap it around tonight. Looking at the opposite side it looks...
