    Ruh roh Raggy! I hear you knocking…

    It was rubbing a lot. Not available at oreillys or napa. Hmm.

    Flywheel Cover rubbing?

    Could banging on a harmonic balancer cause the crankshaft to start rubbing on the flywheel cover? I hired a guy to help work on the truck. Asked him to NOT bang it on. When I returned with the (free) balancer installation tool, he said it was "all set." When we fired up the truck, squeaking...

    Fuel door spring?

    That's a decent idea.

    I will drop the starter, adjust the cover. See if that works. Thx.

    interior rehab

    The carpet was already updated (10 years ago) but I used a Ryobi brush kit (home depot) on a cordless drill and it was SO worth it. Looked new, easy, wife did it.

    Fuel door spring?

    Any fuel door spring suggestions? The fuel door on my 84 runs out of spring tension an inch before it reaches the truck. I know that's not a big deal but it will haunt me. I've tried springs from LMC and Ebay. Same thing. I've tried flattening them in a vice. Bending them different ways...

    Mirror post gasket?

    YES! Thank you. I looked...a LOT. The word "grommet" didn't register in my brain. Ordering now.

    Mirror post gasket?

    That's between the door and the mirror assembly. I found lots of those. The post of the mirror within the assembly. Nothing.

    interior rehab

    I got the seat for $1000 bucks off FB. Ouch, but it looks good. (Just for reference) Oddly, the seat and dash seem to be the expensive things? I went with a $30 dash pad lol.

    Mirror post gasket?

    My (aftermarket) mirrors are fine but kept slipping back from the wind. When I slid the mirror out, the gasket broke into pieces. (pic attached) I can't find a new one. Anyone else have this happen? I'm not buying new mirrors over a $2 gasket.

    interior rehab

    I just added 4 decent speakers. Already had a retro radio, no blue teeth, so I added 3.5mm cables to the radio. Dope seat. $30 dash pad. New pedal pads, horn cover, small stuff. Enough to keep it cheap but still look good. Mostly LMC but the prices vary quite a bit.

    New front bumper and brackets

    I got a rear LMC bumper and the brackets they suggested. The factory brackets are beefy and much sturdier. I have the bumper mounted now as a decoration. I plan to restore the original oem brackets and drill out the LMC bumper to fit.

    2in lift with a soft ride

    The 2in lifted TC ez leafs will likely arrive tomorrow. I also received a 2in shackle lift as a backup plan: https://proformfab.com/products/1973-1987-chevy-full-size-2-front-lift-shackle-leveling-kit If I have time, I will do the (easier cheaper) shackle lift first. Measure the net lift...

    2in lift with a soft ride

    I returned my Rough Country 2in lifted leaf springs. Ordered Tuff Country 2in EZ-Ride leafs for the front end. They had the lowest spring rate according to this chart I found over on the K5 forum. I will report back when installed. My original (84) leafs have 2in of travel until they hit the...

    2.5" Skyjacker final thoughts

    Thank you. I want to do it once, do it right, and be done with it. Up front I have a whopping 2 inches of suspension travel (with the weight of the truck) on original leafs and shocks. I don't know what it's supposed to be, but I'm guessing more than 2 inches ha. I ordered a set of rough...

    Tips/advise on resealing a 350 SBC?

    Similar here. Bought it off the side of the road in April. Leaked oil. The PO wasn't into precision, and that's being generous. Compression test would be #1. Drop the oil pan and see how it looks? Is it a four bolt main? Now you know. Then I replaced the timing chain with a double-roller...

    Ruh roh Raggy! I hear you knocking…

    Same thing. The cover on my bell housing is rubbing on something. If I loosen the bolts and pry a little, the noise stops. Dumb question: The harmonic balancer was recently replaced. Then the noise started. Is it possible they banged the balancer on with a hammer and created this...

    84 K10 full exhaust replacement

    Perfect. I got two new magnaflow cats for $80 each and they linked me to a $75 refund thing if I "recycle" one and send it out somewhere fedex. Wife loves the truck too, but I could see her saying "why is it so stinky?" Strategy: Get her totally onboard with me spending all my time and $ on...

    Rough country lift

    Well, I met you guys a little bit late in the game... I ordered the Rough Country 2in lift and now I am returning it. I don't get why anyone sells lifts that can barely handle a speed bump. Isn't the idea to maybe go offroad? Question: Tuff Country 12711KN 2" Lift Kit EZ-Ride (all four new...

    84 K10 full exhaust replacement

    I got headers that fit from Summit: Hooker Competition Headers 2453-1HKR (available for less $ if non-ceramic coated) I had to shave the ear off the driver's side motor mount. (see pic) Passenger side, zero issues. Summit "check vehicle fit" says they won't fit. They did fit. I returned...

    Yikes, the rough countries are that bad? I just saw the price and dove in. I will search the forum and read what happened with callers 1-68...
