    Reproduction Turn Signal Lever?

    I've heard that before and remember seeing that about the roofing felt somewhere on here before, after seeing that I bought a roll of roofing felt just for a few strips for about 22 bux. I bought a few things in the past from them expecting reproduction oem and received "help" products off...

    Reproduction Turn Signal Lever?

    I hear ya, I worked outside in the weather for years. My shop is 30x30 so it's a tight fit with this truck tore down in here, hard to walk without tripping on something, ha.

    Reproduction Turn Signal Lever?

    I've heard that as well. I'm a long way from actually needing it since my truck is in a zillion pieces so that'll be ok. I'll just order it along with some other things.

    Reproduction Turn Signal Lever?

    Thanks! That looks original, can't believe I missed that especially since I've bought from them before.

    Reproduction Turn Signal Lever?

    Hello, does anyone know if a reproduction turn signal lever is available for 78 C10? No tilt. I just got one from LM* and it's an off the shelf generic lever with a plastic knob with shiny end cap that is far from original looking. I'm sure it will work but wondering if there is something...

    73-87 Rear Disc Brake Conversion Problem

    Is it the early or late Eldo calipers that have issues staying adjusted? I have the 1976 Eldo calipers that use the Astro van rotors but haven't got them on yet.

    Nylon cam gear years

    The nylon fell apart on my 69 Delta 88 with 455 engine and jumped time at 56K miles. It was the original gear set.

    What to run? 3:42 or 3:73?

    Right, ha. Lot of wind resistance.

    What to run? 3:42 or 3:73?

    Thanks. I'm focusing more on hiway, I don't really want to spin over 2200-2300 at 75 mph really. If I win the lottery I'll slap a gear vendors behind it with 4:10.

    What to run? 3:42 or 3:73?

    Thanks,I'll consider that. How tall are your tires? I'm going to run stock rallies with 28" tire.

    What to run? 3:42 or 3:73?

    I'm getting my rear diff ready and I need to get parts. I'd like to know if anyone prefers the 3:42 over the more common 3:73 for normal driving and highway, no towing or hauling ever. Truck is a 78 C10 with a 6.0 & 4L80. I "think" I'm going to run 275-60-15 tires on the rear. I played with...

    FRONT FENDER COWL CAGE NUT Gone

    I just saw this and was going to recommend the rivet nuts but you already did that. I just used those to fix the stripped holes on the firewall for the blower housing since there aren't any nuts, only extruded holes with about one thread. I used 1/4 x 20 with the same amazon tools, worked great.

    Anyone use HOK base coat? How do you like it?

    I'll take a look at the Tamco, thanks. The HOK that I'm looking at is 2:1 and comes unreduced.

    Anyone use HOK base coat? How do you like it?

    Hello. I'm doing a 78 C10 that is a rotisserie build, it's currently still apart and I'm doing the final blocking. I'm going with a medium blue metallic. No pearl, flakes, or anything else. Just blue metallic and a few coats of clear then cut and buff. I've never used House of Kolor...

    What are these holes for?

    I remember that now, thank you. I think the bottom left hole may be for that as well.

    What are these holes for?

    Thanks, I'll try again

    What are these holes for?

    I took a ton of pics before disassembly but I don't see what these holes were for. I have all the rest of them accounted for but these four are a mystery so far. It's on a 78 C10 with factory AC. Anyone know what they are for? I'm sure they will come into play during assembly but I want to...

    Can anyone decipher this date code?

    Thanks, I'll check that out. It's on a 1978 C10 that we've had since new. Here's three more pics. I think this is a 708 or an 808. The round cover is around 3.5". I'm just curious more than anything, I'm going to attempt to go through it and seal it up.

    Can anyone decipher this date code?

    I've search for a long time and can't find how to decipher this code. I'm just curious about it, its on a steering box. Anyone know how to read this? All I see on the internet regarding clock codes are ones that have 12 marks, not 5.

    Idler Arm Orientation??

    I'm putting my front end back together and I have a new Moog idler arm. Both tapers are the same and it looks like it can go either way. I "assume" it can't be put on backwards, does anyone know different? It's a 78 C10. I haven't put it on yet, I just painted some parts including the drag...

    Leaf Spring Torque

    Who did you get the springs from if you don't mind me asking? And how do they look? I just recently bought some and are not happy with them at all.

    2" drop spring question. With pics

    Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has ran into this before. I can't find any good info when searching. The new front springs are listed as 2" drop springs. The pic with the arrows shows where the top of the coils line up (pics are upside down). Look at the other end and see where the coils end...
