    1973 C/K10 front bench seat

    I've been scouring eBay but all of them look like they're infested. I plan on restoring the seat anyways but I'd like to start with something that at least isn't beat to all hell. Any leads on where I might find one? This is for my 1973 K10 so I'd like the seat frame to match up with the holes...

    SOLD

    This is a brand new Edelbrock Pro-Flo 4 EFI Traditional 4150-Style Kit #35760 for 1986 & Earlier Chevy Small-Block engines. I bought it brand new several months ago and went to install it the other day only to realize that I messed up big time as mine has Vortec heads. I tried to return it but...

    Looking for bench seat options with a foldable back / armrest

    I'm interested to see what others have done with their K10s in regard to bench seats in which the driver and passenger side move independently from one another AND have a fold down armrest in the center for when nobody is sitting in the middle. I like this idea a lot, but I am not sure where...

    What is supposed to go here on the HVAC blend box?

    I'm in the process of redoing the interior on my 1973 K10 and I found two issues of concern. The defrost vent tube that attaches to the top of the HVAC box behind the dash has a huge gap between where it connects to the box. Initially I thought that maybe I just needed to pull it down further...

    TH350 / TH400 / 700R4 / 4L60E Transmission Inspection Cover & Brackets

    This transmission cover was removed from a 1989 Chevy Suburban 4x4. This is the correct fitment for a small bock / big block Chevy's and a TH400 and 700R4 transmissions. Transmissions must be the "k" style 4x4 case with 6 bolt holes for the inspection cover. Will not fit 4L80E All parts have...

    Which tank straps do I need?

    This is for a 1973 K10 short bed with the 16 gallon dual tanks. Looking at this diagram here: https://www.lmctruck.com/fuel-system/gas-tanks-parts/cc-1973-87-side-mount-gas-tank-and-components I need parts 3, 4, and 15. My question is what is the deal with part number 14? Those are tank...

    Tremec TR-4050 swap

    I bit the bullet today and ordered a full Tremec TR-4050 swap conversion for my '73 K10. The 700R4 that is in there now just doesn't pair nicely with that Blueprint Engines 396 SBC stroker. I grew up driving manuals and I think this truck is going to be an absolute blast to drive with the...

    What do those of us with '73s do if we want to replace the HVAC controls?

    I wanted to replace the face plate on my '73 K10 HVAC (with A/C) controls. It's old, it's worn, and it just needs refreshed to match the rest of the interior. I noticed nobody makes a '73 style HVAC control so I ordered the '74 model which looks like this: Unfortunately after comparing it to...

    I've got a pair of brand new (never had gas in them) 16 gallon non-EFI saddle tanks that I purchased for my 1973 Chevy K10. They've also got two brand new Holley 12-308 fuel pumps in them as well (which I have the receipt for to prove they are brand new). I was going to install them but since...

    Need some help figuring out how to wire my dual saddle fuel tanks

    The time has come to re-wire my dual saddle fuel tanks on my 1973 K10. I went ahead and purchased the Pollack valve from the newer (EFI model) K10s. It came with the Pollack valve, a DPDT switch, and this wiring diagram: This wiring diagram makes complete sense to me. Where I am struggling...

    Best place to buy a NV4500?

    I’m planning to do an NV4500 swap into my 73 K10. I’d like to buy something that is rebuilt / remanufactured so that I know it won’t have issues. A simple google search yields innumerable results which tons of companies selling rebuilt NV4500s. I wanted to ask you guys who you’d...

    Nobody warned me about the MPGs on these square bodies!

    Today marks the second time my square body has run out of gas on me. In fairness, it's my own fault. When I bought the truck the dual fuel tanks didn't work (only the main tank worked) and the fuel gauge was in no way whatsoever accurate. My next project is fixing the tanks (as anyone knows who...

    Suggestions on replacement brake calipers, pads, and rotors

    I’m looking for some suggestion or guidance on replacement brake pads, calipers, and rotors. The issue that I have is that there’s so much junk out there, especially when it comes to the remanufactured calipers. Brands like Cardone, Duralast, and most auto part store parts are trash. I’m...

    How do I bypass the factory radio completely so I can just listen through Bluetooth?

    Here's the deal: My 1973 K10 has the factory radio. I don't use the radio, ever. I have zero use whatsoever for a radio these days as everything I listen to (Podcasts, music, and even radio) is done through my phone. I'm curious if there is a way to bypass the factory radio and manage...

    Are all replacement brake hard lines equal?

    Are all replacement hard lines equal? I see them offered from a number of places and I'm trying to figure out if this is one of those Chinese things where it's the same thing offered at a hundred different places under different names? This is for a 1973 Chevy K10 short bed pickup with power...

    Brake Proportioning Valve Replacement

    I need to replace the brake proportioning valve on my 1973 Chevy K10 shortbed. It has lower front disc brakes and rear drums. From what I can tell this looks like it is the right one: https://www.carolinaclassictrucks.com/73-77-GM-FS-Truck-Prop-Valve-1.html Is there a better / cheaper option...

    Does anyone make a 16 gallon saddle tank with baffles that works with a Holley 12-308 pump?

    Here's the dilemma I'm in. I've got Holley 12-308 fuel pumps which are meant for factory tanks on my 1973 Chevy K10 (not EFI tanks). I'm using those pumps with a Holley Sniper setup. I'm looking for factory 16 gallon saddle fuel tanks with baffles but the only ones I've managed to find are...

    How are the factory dual saddle fuel tanks supposed to be routed?

    This new to me 1973 K10 that I picked up has some janky stuff going on with the dual saddle fuel tanks. From what I can tell it appears that the previous owner installed an aftermarket pump that pumps fuel from one tank to another. There is an aftermarket switch on the dashboard that he labeled...

    Converting from dual saddle tanks to a single fuel tank

    I've decided I would like to remove the dual saddle fuel tanks and go with a single fuel tank under the bed of my 1973 K10 short bed pickup. I'm curious to hear from those who have done this, what is the biggest tank that you found will fit with the least amount of modifications?

    Rear Disc Brake Conversion Recommendations

    First, let me start by saying that I am not looking to upgrade to rear disc brakes to increase performance. I know I won't see any performance increase by swapping drums for discs in the rear. I'm looking to convert to rear discs for ease of maintenance and for looks. That being said, can...

    XJ steering shaft mod

    Not to be obtuse, but since I'm a first time K10 owner, I just want to make sure I order the right part. Is this the correct steering shaft for the XJ conversion on my 1973 K10? https://www.ebay.com/itm/404941450071 I'm 99.9% certain it is, but the last thing I want to do is order the wrong part.

    Is There a 700R4 / 350 Transmission Flexplate / Inspection Cover That Fits?

    Hoping you guys can help me out here. My newly acquired 1973 K10 is missing the flywheel inspection cover on the transmission. I was hoping to find a steel one that actually fits, but the only one I can seem to find is this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B8VTNRF/ That's the same one that...
