    question on 85 C10

    I'm running the headlight expert LEDs on my 75 Stepside. I had to call them to get the orientation right as their video is incorrect. I'm very happy with them. They are a very clean, white light and are super bright and clear. The lenses also have the fluting on them so you don't blind...

    Carburetor recommendation

    Is your truck California certified or Federal? Is it over 8500 lb GVWR? For 1985 - If it's a California truck under 8500 lbs, it should have a computer controlled feedback carburetor. Federal or over 8500 lbs, would be a standard type carburetor. To pass smog inspections in California, make...

    The Quest for the Last Radiator

    I've been using Champion radiators for all my vehicles. They work well and are priced fairly. All their radiators come with a lifetime warranty. I have only had to get one replaced. It was in a jeep wrangler used for a lot of off roading. The radiator started leaking after about 10 years...

    Anyone use wester chassis 2/4 lowering kit?

    I used them on my 75 Stepside. Worked out great. I purchased the coil springs thru Summit but the leafs were on back order so I had to buy them from Western Chassis direct. I had the HD 56" rear spring option. The lowering springs only come in 52". I had to move my shackle hangers up 4" but that...

    78 GMC seat belt styles

    My light duty 1975 short bed stepside has a GVWR of 5300 lbs and came with lap belts only. The trim on the pillar did not have holes for the shoulder belt but when I replaced the trim, I found the threaded holes underneath. I'm trying to decide whether or not to install shoulder belts. The...

    how long does polyurethane last?

    I did a lot of comparison research when I purchased my "complete" kit from Energy suspension for my 75 C10 Stepside. According to the articles I read, Energy Suspension polyurethane had a little more give than most and had the best ride quality for street use. It also comes with a lifetime...

    Gauge Cluster--73 to 87 (100mph speedo, clock, no O.D., no tach)

    That's the one!! Somehow I ended up with 3 gauges and the big dummy light for the brake. Everything else works so I was going to install the brake lens to complete the cluster. I may change the Amp meter to a volt meter once I figure out how to modify the wiring.

    Gauge Cluster--73 to 87 (100mph speedo, clock, no O.D., no tach)

    I never checked out the dash as it was in the truck when I got it. I looked in the owner's manual and you are correct, the light should be in the speedometer. Who knows, the truck has been through a few owners before I got it. It may be a compilation of parts from different years. The truck...

    @AyWoSch Motors... Where did you find the white gauges? Those would look pretty good.
