    Help with the name of this part and what does it control.

    Welcome from AZ. My '81 Custom Deluxe with a 250 had the same actuator but that was long ago and don't remember. Looks like it opens and closes a valve on the exhaust. Can't tell from the photo. Exhaust definitely.

    door lock cyl. removal

    LMC, maybe Steele Rubber. Should be several outfits that would have them. I know the gaskets for my '72 Olds mobiles are available so a squarebody is much more common.

    Power steering fluid .. what type ?

    Like I said earlier, read the owners manual. It's got a lot of good info. Hardly anyone reads them. When I buy a vehicle I'm unfamiliar with, that's the first thing I do, read the manual. It will tell you exactly what fluids to use unless it tells you to "take it to the dealer".

    Power steering fluid .. what type ?

    I don't think it matters. I've used both over the decades but if you're picky, read the owners manual, it'll tell you what to use.

    Canopy

    Nice looking pickup. I had a steel Gem Top, best canopy I ever owned.

    Fresh oil

    I agree, any maintenance makes the vehicle a little better. A wash, new belts, oil and filter even new bulbs. Some more than others, I think it's a care thing, most of it in my own mind but also mechanical..

    How much oil pressure is to much for a stock 350

    All the small blocks I've ever owned averaged 15-40 PSI at cold idle. Depends on season and type oil as well from my experience. 283, 327, 350 and 400.

    Hello from Southern Utah. 1983 C10 Stepside

    Welcome from Dolan Springs, AZ! It reminds me of my '81 Custom Deluxe C/10, SWB I drove for 15 years as a daily driver. Mine had a 250 with 3 on the tree.

    Shift Indicator

    Try superglue. The other fixes sound good too. Above all, be gentle.

    Question on battery/starter

    Start with the clamps on the battery posts. Make sure they're clean and tight. When things get cold and old they can contract and expand more. Also check grounds.

    New, in South Central Arkansas

    Welcome from NW AZ! I've traveled through your neck of the woods several times, I like it there. The first time was back in 1985 on my motorcycle on a scenic road trip. Sounds like a nice truck you've got there, enjoy it!
