    No start, possible clutch safety switch. Part number?

    1982 K10. Truck has weak battery. Went to start it, cranked slow then gave up. Jumped it cranked fast but it didn't catch, might have flooded it. Tried again, nothing. Lights came on on dash but no crank, no clicking or anything. Tried jumping clutch safety switch with a scrap of wire, no...

    Got a cast iron point type distributor to rebuild, questions.

    Got a real nice cast iron SBC distributor on eBay, it is as installed in 60-61 Corvettes. I'd like to install it in my 1982 K-10 with a 350. I am assuming that the drive gear is the same on all SBC engines, and that if necessary I can put different springs on the advance weights to get the...

    Is there a replacement or workaround for the AC Thermac vacuum thermostat?

    The vacuum thermostat for my 82's Thermac system is no longer working. Original NOS parts are going for stupid money for people restoring old cars to factory stock. Carter makes a similar part but I don't know if it would work. Currently I have the vacuum line that actuates the flapper plugged...

    Do intermittent wipers use a different wiper motor?

    I have an 82 K10 Custom Deluxe with 2 speed wipers, and would like the intermittent feature. I have replaced the wiper motor with a rebuilt unit that was identical to the original. Is the intermittent function in the switch, and is the motor the same? I currently have my dash pad and instrument...

    Location of cowl drains?

    That will give me something to go on. Thanks!

    Either this part is unavailable, or I don’t know where to search.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Location of cowl drains?

    Assuming on the outer region of the undercowl area, where are they accessed? From underneath? Is there a rubber drain or just a channel between panels? Thanks!

    I can't find this wheelwell brace / bracket for my 82 K10 listed by any vendor I've looked at. I could fabricate it but would rather spend the time on other issues. What's it called? Where can I buy one? I

    Looking for wiper arm options for 1982 K10

    Awesome! I destroyed the replacement wiper blades and finally remembered to look at this thread. Going to pass on the wet arm feature for now.

    Looking for wiper arm options for 1982 K10

    I am running 18" on the stock arms, these look like the might be a good option. Do you have a pic of them installed you can share? Thanks!

    Fuel only gets to engine when tank is out of the vehicle

    The idle circuit is independent of the power circuit in the carburetor, you may have crud somewhere.

    Looking for wiper arm options for 1982 K10

    The stock wiper arms have the straight end with a little nub to lock the blade in place. I have had some plastic replacement blades fail, and there is a limited selection of this type. Is there a wiper arm with a hook style blade attachment that is a direct replacement? Later square bodies have...

    wiper motor replacement choices

    I use Amazon for things like gaskets filters and small parts. If I have a part number and a brand I know I will buy big stuff on Amazon and eBay as well. A lot of times they are being sold by relatively small companies. I bought a Cardone reman washer pump at O'Reilly as it was competitive and...

    God willing and the creek don't rise, my tractor will be here by 4 May!

    Bought a 85 Yanmar YM336D 4wd tractor with 137hrs. Yanmar loader and a MacKissick PTO chipper. I really wanted a little bigger but Yanmars are stout.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Installed a set of Bilsteins, the whoop-de-doos on my gravel road are smoother but not sure if the ride on pavement is as smooth. Need to check my tire pressures. Had to modify the front shocks slightly as the top mount was about 1/8" wider than the bracket. Had to play musical chairs with jacks...

    Leak under dash?

    I did it the other day. Everything came apart easily, no rust just failed sealant. Cleaned it up and used some brush on roofing sealant.

    Small block to straight 6 swap?

    I was pretty sure it would be a matter of getting the right combination of factory parts and bolting it all together. If it involved a crossmember swap I would be less inclined to do it if for no other reason than the added time. Time to look for a factory parts catalog!

    Small block to straight 6 swap?

    I like 6 cylinders in pickups. I'm not hauling much weight and will probably never tow anything heavier than a 17' canoe. Building a 292 to replace the wimpy 82 350 might be fun. I assume it would bolt up to the NP435 trans/bell housing. What would need to be done to mount it? Is the crossmember...

    Crazy, but this is the first vehicle in over 40 years where I have! Usually it is around a window or a rubber seal...

    Small size tires for ATVs and mowers - Recommendations?

    It means they had no grip and I slid into a shed and dented it.
