    77 K10 LS Swap

    After a 200 mile duck hunting trip today, the 77 rolled over 60k miles since the LS swap. I have throughly enjoyed every mile and would definitely do it again.

    Alternator went out Thursday on my way home from work. Luckily I made it home without issue. Installed an alternator from my parts pile. Back up and running.

    The right rear brake light and right turn signal quit working last Saturday. I figured it was just a bulb, but a new bulb did not fix the problem. After some troubleshooting I figured out that the turn signal switch in the steering column was the problem.

    Dang. Another project followed me home yesterday. 69 Chevelle to go with my 69 C10. This is going to be a long term project, it’s currently nothing but a rolling shell and needs quite a bit of sheet metal work. Luckily, like our trucks, there are lots parts available. Just takes $$.

    Big day at the tire shop. New 35s on the 77 and a new set of tires for the car trailer.

    New bearing arrived from AA today. 77 is all back together and ready to go to work in the morning.

    Transmission has been removed and to no surprise the throw out bearing is wrecked! The one down side is that the bearing is an Advanced Adapter part only. To AAs credit, their customer service is great and a new bearing is on its way.

    Throw out bearing started making a horrendous racket on my way home from work yesterday. I bore scoped it this morning and can see that bearing is coming apart/separating from the bear shell. Oh BTW, it’s a special part from Advance Adapter and it’s back ordered! The tech I spoke to yesterday...

    69 C10

    Years ago my dad gave me this 1928 Chevy emblem. Found in a box of stuff today. Mounted in my 69 so dad can ride along.

    77 K10 LS Swap

    Just rolled over 50k miles on the 77 since the 5.3/nv4500 swap. Best thing I could have done to the truck. Except maybe a turbo . Oh! Add that the list of upgrades for the 69.
