    which bench seat is best? 75? 80? 81?

    higher trim seats had more foam and comfort I am not sure how much it was compared to lower trim, but it was some difference they felt worthy of marketing

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    eh, other states never have done them and we only sometimes go off the road with blown brake lines or rotted frames. but texas shouldnt have that problem, but dust and neglected service on brakes would probably be the biggest issue

    Nylon cam gear years

    Noise and harshness is lowered Misfires, knock, neglected oil, and early early nylon formulation lead to failures, but so would other parts in the engine for the same issues (first three) The nylon gear turned out to be a VERY bad idea for the buick v6 and they used it through the 3.8l LG3 in...

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    the only time a fair consideration is needed is the abs systems as the bulletin above pointed out, which these trucks dont have The gmt400 do, but some of their early masters have the taps for that which is to say they were designed to be used with that master

    Find the short in brake light?

    since you obviously checked the light socket out , you already checked the ground. id say verify your ground from the frame to the battery by the radiator and that the core support or fender to the battery are good and clean. is there trailer wiring present? If so, if you have a magnetic...

    New Car Hauler

    on fresh treated decking youd want to wait a while anyway, i only said something because the deck on the trailer above isnt screaming brand new but like 5 years old if that makes sense even reapplication of a water based solution a every few years would work well or hell, painting it...

    Can anyone tell me what this is??

    its supposed to be used on a rear brake circuit of a truck with a dedicated port for this function If you use it on a regular one that is on you, but if you dont use a lot of volume or a long run of pipe, without air, there is a the same amount of fluid volume acting on the original circuit...

    NP203 leaking. Replace or fix?

    i would, simply because if its an np203 i think they are all compatible iirc, except for rare rare setups in the 70s , but gm and ford ones should have the same parts and work i think so you can work on it. I know they revised the fluid recommendation, and something about the chains had a...

    GMC-IH

    my favorite moment of 2006 (2nd grade for me) was when the vice president of the united states mistook his buddies face while he was near him as a flightless, ground-walking quail who were unafraid of humans and shot him with birdshot and then THAT GUY(friend) APOLOGIZED TO HIM (vice president)...

    81 K10 fuse panel layout

    sounds like it may be a mechanical restriction that blows off with pressure relief, or you have something wrong going on. how is your pump setup? this is a LS swap so knowing that would be good . are any fuel hoses if in use , are they fuel injection rated and using clamps for that?

    1977 C20 Heavy duty with 11.15 drums?

    have some new info: there were TWO sizes of 13 inch drums, apparently the backing plates/shoes/drums are different, and the 73-80 and 81+ split on rear park brake cable design. I only have a 1980 so it wouldnt help anyone 81+ with the park brake appearance on the back, but I discoverd after...
