    What have you done to your square lately??

    Is that the original color, or a little darker? It looks great!

    Fleetside bed sides different?

    Either the bed was replaced or the driver's tank was added.

    Door brace tab?

    If the driver's side tabs are in fact loose, they are not supposed to be. They were supposed to be spot welded together. Passenger side needs repaired.

    Hood Decal - Any leads

    I'm guessing they want one of those big, pre-cut, mural type decals like what you often see on newer Wranglers with angry headlights and brightly colored door hinges.

    1973 Impala/Caprice gas pedal

    Are you looking specifically for the kickdown/detent cable provision? The A-body used that setup too.

    Metal plate front wheel wells

    It's just a reinforcement plate. That inner bolt goes to the firewall.

    1977 K30 draining battery

    One would ASSume that the OP would notice if there were other wires still hooked to the battery when they disconnected the battery cable. I bought a car two months ago. It had a battery drain issue, when purchased. I know the PO, he put a new battery in the car in November. I fully charged the...

    1977 K30 draining battery

    So, I missed that part in the beginning. If you have a fully charged battery that will start a vehicle, then it gets disconnected and it will no longer start said vehicle after a day or two... that's a bad battery. Semi, technically, or whatever you want to call it, that happens often. It has...

    1977 K30 draining battery

    Yep, had that happen a time or two. Once was just recently. I've also had a bad starter drain my battery before too. Once thing to note with the test light method is that some things like a radio memory, or a phone charger in the sig lighter, will cause the bulb to light up very dimly. That...

    New or junkyard?

    Are you sure they weren't old aftermarket fenders? Those had a very bad habbit of the weld nuts breaking free. The GM ones, not so much, in my experience.

    Tachometer 6 cylinder

    It will work, but not read the correct RPM. I personally do not know how, but folks that are smart with electronics can convert the signal for the proper reading.

    Tachometer 6 cylinder

    Or on some old ones, a wire you cut.

    Taillight question

    Got a picture of your taillight opening, without the lense and housing in it?

    NP203 question

    Yes... on a non-converted 203, if you run selectable (locking) hubs, you MUST run with the hubs locked, OR the t-case in a "Loc" position. So that wasn't an "issue", but rather, just a fact of how an open differential works. Now, if your truck wouldn't move with the case in a "Loc" position...

    NP203 question

    There seems to still be a lot of confusion here, as misinformation is still being posted. It's really not complicated... *Non-converted 203 with factory slugs: -Use as the factory intended. *Non-converted 203 with locking hubs: -Hubs locked, use as factory intended. -Hubs unlocked, you must...

    NP203 question

    You can run with the hubs unlocked, but you have to run the t-case in one of the "Loc" positions. Lots of trucks were swapped to manual hubs, but no part time kit installed in the t-case. It was a cheap and easy way of taking strain off the front driveline. It all still spun, but the strain was...

    Anyone know how to disassemble this fender antenna?

    The two flats are for removing the mast from the antenna body. It's likely seized as well. Trying to remove it will very likely break the little stud. I though the goal was to just remove the antenna from the bezel, so a CB antenna could be mounted to the bezel.

    Anyone know how to disassemble this fender antenna?

    That big hex nut should be what holds the antenna body to the mounting bezel. It will be a fine thread pitch and might be a bit seized on there.

    New or junkyard?

    For the 70's models, good used GM fenders haven been realistically unavailable in my area for 30 years. The 80's fenders, while hard to find now, can still be found in good condition. Until recent years, all aftermarket '73-'80 fenders were crap. I haven't had the opportunity to use any of...

    Taillight question

    Going off memory... All taillight screws are #8 sheet metal screws. The ones in the housing are phillips head. The ones for the lens are panhead torx, in stainless. Older trucks are maybe phillips there too, and stainless. 3/4" or 1" long.

    K10 with 14 bolt 8 lug or era proper 12 bolt 8 lug

    What about the front? 6 lugs on the front and 8 lugs on the rear will devalue a truck.

    Locked hubs do the very same thing as drive slugs.

    Help with C10 Short Box Front Tire Size

    For me, rim width plays a big part in it. I don't like the front tire to be much narrower than the rear if the rim widths are the same. That's just my preference though.

    smog equip. any value/interest ?

    Someone needs it. Is it from the 6 cyl or the V8? It might take a while before you come across someone that needs it, but they will be grateful when it does happen.
