    Installing a factory tach cluster in a 1987 V10 350TBI. Do I need a tach signal filter?

    I don’t know, I tried to look at eBay ads and stuff like that and I saw some speedos one way and others the other way. Carb trucks only need the VSS for cruise control. I’m guessing the 85 I got the cluster out of didn’t have cruise so I guess that’s why the cluster back wasn’t built to...

    Installing a factory tach cluster in a 1987 V10 350TBI. Do I need a tach signal filter?

    Pic with the printed circuit still on is what the back of the tach cluster I have looks like. Notice how you can see the opening for the VSS but it’s partially blocked. I had to cut/file enough away to get VSS to clear and had to file enough of the VSS connector away to keep it from...

    Installing a factory tach cluster in a 1987 V10 350TBI. Do I need a tach signal filter?

    All right, here’s the update. I got the new circuit board in the mail Christmas Eve. Already had the ‘85 tach cluster torn down, new printed circuit installed, small gas gauge in, had the bulbs, holders cleaned up, everything ready to go. First things first, when I got the tach board in I...

    Installing a factory tach cluster in a 1987 V10 350TBI. Do I need a tach signal filter?

    So here’s an update. Got the wiring harness and printed circuit in from LMC. Got the printed circuit on the cluster back and all good there. The wiring harness was easy. All I had to do to connect to the white wire off the coil was remove the plastic socket on the harness, exposing the metal...

    High horn not working on a 1981 C10 Silverado

    If you’ve already got the Hi/Lo A/F, then all you need is the C&D horns off any pre 2k Caddy that came with them, mount them behind the grille alongside the Hi/Lo, wire them in, and that’s how you get the Caddy 4-note horn.

    New Speedometer Question

    VSS was on the back of the speedo for at least a couple of years before the 1987 TBI squarebodies. I think back then it was pretty much just a speed sensor for cruise control but not sure. Pretty sure it was on there back of the speedo for at least a couple of years prior to the 1987 TBI trucks

    Installing a factory tach cluster in a 1987 V10 350TBI. Do I need a tach signal filter?

    I’ve got a factory tach cluster out of a 1985 manual C20. Guy I got it from found it in a junkyard and didn’t think to get the wiring harness with it. I’ve got a new printed circuit and a wiring harness ordered which I’m already wondering about since LMC has the printed circuit listed as 81-87...

    1987 V10 700r4 locks up immediately after 1-2 shift

    So I figure I’d let yall know my progress on this. Before I dropped the pan again and started replacing stuff I spliced in a new connector and did my best to clean out the TCC plug socket on the trans. Plugged it in and it works as it should. Locks up in 3rd, unlocks between 3-4 shift, locks...

    Aftermarket Slider Window

    Any markings on the glass or the latch? Mine says “passport” which is obviously because it’s an aftermarket one made by Passport. From what I remember from back in the day when I owned a square body with a factory slider is that the latch was plastic and not metal, the whole assembly was...

    Multiple antennas!!!

    Ok. So any ideas for the fender mount? Would adding a splitter to join it with the windshield antenna help with AM reception or make my FM reception worse? FM comes in great for me right now but AM reception isn’t that great.

    Multiple antennas!!!

    So I just can’t figure this out, maybe yall can help. 1987 V10 shortbed. PO swapped out the windshield about a year ago. It’s got the antenna built-in. It’s ALSO got a passenger fender mount mast antenna AND a mount on the back of the toolbox for a CB antenna (CB radio and antenna aren’t...

    4WD indicator switch on NP208 1987 V10

    The switch is bad, already have the replacement in hand. Is there any way to get it off without having to drop the transfer case? Got a crescent wrench on it today but didn’t have room to turn it. Any ideas? Deep socket maybe?

    1986 k10 gun rack

    Go on eBay and search for “E-Z mount gun rack”. You can find them NOS for around $20. Just remember that they made a different rack to work with sliding rear windows so check the packaging to make sure you’re getting the right one for your truck.

    Aftermarket Slider Window

    You sure it’s aftermarket? The factory ones were riveted. I’ve been around and around on this since the truck I recently bought had a slider from the factory but at some point had it replaced with solid glass, and I’ve been looking for a replacement slider. There’s some info online about...

    Does a seal exist for my factory 1977 c10 sliding window

    OK, hate to resurrect an old thread but it’s better than starting a whole new one just to ask this question. 1987 Chevy V10 SWB. Truck came with factory sliding rear window but it’s long gone replaced by solid glass held in by a completely dried out rock-hard gasket. I bought a sliding rear...

    700R4 Aftermarket

    So this is really interesting. My truck is a 1987 V10. Invoice for the truck is dated Oct 15 1986 so that’s around the date the truck was built. Looking at the description of the trans numbers, the numbers on my transmission match the description of the 1987-1988 numbers BUT the first digit...

    1987 V10 700r4 locks up immediately after 1-2 shift

    So since I never heard back from @NickTransmissions maybe someone else can help me out? I think I’ve got this figured out but of course won’t be sure until I replace parts. When I got the truck the electrical connector was unplugged from the transmission. I cleaned it and the socket on the...

    67 Mile V10

    I’ll be damned. You’re right! I just checked my 1987 V10’s invoice and that’s just what they are. I learn something new every day.

    1987 V10 leaking fuel after changing gas caps

    Pumps both work fine, PO only had it a year but one of the things he had done was replace the valve/solenoid/switch/whatever it is that selects between tanks so that works fine too. The sending units both work but not great. They’ll both read full when I fill them up but they drop down to 1/8...

    1987 V10 leaking fuel after changing gas caps

    Yeah, it looks like I’ll be changing all the rubber lines on both sides. The truck is up off the ground a bit so I think I’ll drop them instead of taking off the bed, especially since it’s just me around here. Tanks actually look pretty clean to me, almost like they’ve been out before and not...

    1987 V10 leaking fuel after changing gas caps

    So here’s what happened. Bought the truck a few weeks ago, noticed just the faintest hint of a gas smell a couple days ago. Took a look at both gas tank caps and they looked to be the OG ones with cracked gaskets and looked like garbage so I replaced them. This morning when I started the...

    Previous owner swapped in a GMT400 spare tire carrier

    It’s not that I’m THAT worried about it staying original though I WOULD like to keep it as original as possible with some minor improvements. I’ve already got the 5th aluminum wheel and the crank cable carrier though and am just trying to figure out how to make what I have work or if I do need...
