    Fuel Line Question

    I had just read that a return line wasn't necessarily required, so when I got a pump from summit I just got one without the return. The only reason I bought a 3 port sending unit was so I could hook up to the metal lines in case I ever decided to use them all. I did buy a vented gas cap, will...

    Fuel Line Question

    So I need some input on my restoration. I'm working on my 1983 K10, and need some help with what to do with fuel lines. Originally, it had a 3 port sending unit (3/8" fuel, 1/4" return, 5/16" vent or vapor?), and 3 ports on the fuel pump. I have installed a new fuel tank and sending unit. I...

    K10 front wheel center caps?

    Yes sorry, I just need the decals. And I may have to resort to trimming if that’s my only option. Thanks for the idea.

    K10 front wheel center caps?

    See in the picture you posted FireTruck, the stickers seem like different sizes on the rear wheels versus the front wheels (with the 5 screws around the perimeter). But all the stickers I see for sale seem to match the ones that go to the rear wheels.

    K10 front wheel center caps?

    I see the stickers on LMC, but it seems like the ones on the front are a different size than the rear ones. I’ll have to check again.

    K10 front wheel center caps?

    Can anyone point me to where I can get new center caps for the front wheels? I can find new inserts or the entire hub for the back but nothing for the front, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. This is for a 1983 K10. Thanks for any help.

    Fuel Strap Bolts

    Well I’m 95% certain there wasn’t any hardware that came with the straps, and I’m just using the original brackets. My plan was to use 6 small bolts like you described...I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t overlooking something.

    Fuel Strap Bolts

    Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but I didn't find anything specific. What is everyone using to bolt new fuel straps to the brackets? Originally, they are in there with some rivets that I had to grind out. Just any 3 bolts that fit? Or something in particular? Thanks

    Possible Leak Locations?

    Hey thanks for the advice, looks like it was for sure my front output shaft seal. Got it pulled out...had to order that little rubber spline washer though...so waiting on that to come in before I put it back together.

    Possible Leak Locations?

    So I've recently started the restoration of my 1983 K10. After rebuilding an engine for it (outside of the truck), I pulled the truck (using another vehicle) over to the shed where I will be working on it (maybe 200 yards from where the truck was sitting). It has sat at the new location for...

    Alternator amp question

    Everything else will remain stock aside from the engine. No new radio or or components will be installed. Everything inside the cab will be the same as it was from the factory. So I wasn’t sure if just rebuilding the engine would require and higher amp alternator, or if that just became a...

    Alternator amp question

    Everything is new/aftermarket aside from the block and heads. Not going for crazy power, but I’m sure everything has been a slight upgrade. So a bigger alternator would be the way to go?

    Alternator amp question

    Hey everyone, not sure if this belongs in electrical or the engine category, so sorry if this is the wrong spot. I’m down to the last few parts on my 350 rebuild for my 1983 K10. Can I just get a standard 63 amp alternator off rockauto, or is there benefit to paying double the price for a...
