    10-40 or 20-50 in 73' C20 350 Block?

    Bucket, Is there any harm in running 20/50 in my motor as a proactive measure?

    10-40 or 20-50 in 73' C20 350 Block?

    Thanks for your response. I've ran 10-40 in my truck since I've had it, 2 years. There were no signs in upping the oil thickness performance wise but a few different people from professional engine builders to other classic car owners said to run 20-50. I just made the switch to 20-50 and...

    10-40 or 20-50 in 73' C20 350 Block?

    Hi guys. Heard a few different things on this and made the move to 20-50. What oil do you use in your original engine block and why? -Thomas

    Picture cars for a film in Los Angeles?

    Hello all. Have an event coming up. It's a feature film with lots of trucks/cars from the 70's/80's in a scene on the 18th in Los Angeles. It's pretty fun and if you're interested please contact me. There is pay and it would be a few hours on the day. All the best. -Thomas.

    Yellow Wire is Constant no?

    Hey Guys. 1973 Chevy C20 with a mess of wires I'm trying to clean up. I've replaced the stereo earlier this year but it would cut out once in awhile so I decided to check the connections and follow the ground, constant and ignition. I found it connected to (extremely messy in about 5...

    Fuel Gauge.

    Hey Guys. Have a 1973 Chevy C20 for about 2 years now and the fuel gauge has never worked; just sits at 3/4 full. 2 years ago a mechanic tells me he tried to replace the fuse but no good and he thinks that it may be the fuel sensor. Fair enough. Until I happened to go behind the gauge and...

    73 c20 Suspension replacement.

    I've recently taken a grease gun to the bushings to see if it was the ball joints but no luck; still squeaks. I usually happens on un-even roads and especially when turning/flexing up into a driveway of sorts. I had a friend look and he suggested the shocks even though the bushings look...

    73 c20 Suspension replacement.

    Front End? I found the noise is coming from the front right tire. Took it slowly down an alley to film the noise in action and I'm thinking it may be the shock absorber? I've uploaded a video for it here : https://youtu.be/YylZEGn_EnA

    73 c20 Suspension replacement.

    Hello all. I've been working on my 73 Chevy but now that I started, everything else seems to catch my eye. Or ear for that matter, I'd like to rid myself of the squeaks. I'm not off-roading; she's a bit too fragile in this moment for that before upgrades. But with the condition of Los...

    Soft Brakes. Big Estimate. New Brake fluid and now fixed?

    Thank you. I just read/watched some stuff on line as well. I was thinking tomorrow I'll have the brake pedal pressed to see if I can spot a leak anywhere along the lines or wheels. If I don't see a leak anywhere then perhaps it would be the master?

    Soft Brakes. Big Estimate. New Brake fluid and now fixed?

    Hello. My name is Thomas. I'm new here with a 73 C20 Chevy living in Los Angeles. I've been working on the truck for about 2 years now but still have much to learn. About 5 weeks ago, the brakes went soft. I took it in to what I thought was a trusted mechanic. He tells me this, that, brake...
