    (1980 Chevy Squarebody) CKL14A1101673 In search of my fathers old truck

    That will definitely make it much more difficult. Was it last known to be in Rhode Island?

    Even better, contact them in THEIR state (NC). They are quite responsive.

    I've used Painless and AAW. I definitely prefer the AAW kit.

    Source for 4" backup lights?

    Sure you can, the thing you have to take into consideration is for turn signals as you need a LED compatible flasher. But for marker and reverse lights there would be no issue getting LED.

    1985 C10 shock recommendations

    I have a stock height 1981 C10 longbed with Bilstein 4600's. They are fantastic.

    Best replacement floor pans?

    I bought a Key Parts brand 8' bed floor earlier this year. Very happy with the quality. I got it through Summit but looks like they no longer carry it. But Jegs has it. https://www.jegs.com/i/Key-Parts/576/0850-321/10002/-1

    Has anybody ever notched cab for more seat clearance?

    I'm 6'6", with the bench it was way too tight. I got a good deal on some refurbished Recaro bucket seats (Specialist M is the model). Got the brackets and sliders, and with it slid to the back wall it is very roomy. I have seen a couple trucks where guys had removed the saddle tank for a Blazer...

    Precision windshield gasket too big

    Thanks! One of these days I'll do a build thread. I've had it since I was 14 (I'm 45 now). Did a frame off rebuild in highschool with my father, drove it for a few years. Then due to life, it sat outside for 10 years and fell apart. So this is the second frame off build in it's life, but it's...

    Precision windshield gasket too big

    Truck is finally out of paint, the shop had a glass company come to install the windshield. I had ordered a Precision gasket set that is definitely the correct one for the truck. The glass guy (old school, been doing this a long time) says that the gasket is way too big. I found a couple threads...

    It's like trying to get out of a toxic relationship. You know it's the smart thing to do to get out, but you've put in so much time together, maybe there's a chance it'll all work out.

    Center dash speaker options?

    That's a factory double-din hole which makes sense if your truck is a '91.

    76 C10 Fuel Tank Vent

    I don't have one either, just a vent with rollover valve. Parked in the garage with no stink.

    Saddle tank delete with carburation

    I did this with a 31 gallon plastic Blazer tank. The 40 gallon tank is the same footprint, its just deeper so it hangs down lower. This is on a EFI application (1981 C-10 frame). Had to remove the crossmemeber for the spare tire carrier, and add a new crossmember to support the tank. I also...

    Exactly! That would solve all of this. Just be upfront from the beginning.

    USA1 Industries

    That was me. And to be clear, they only shipped mine when they did because I filed a complaint with the North Carolina attorney general's consumer protection division. They were given 10 days to respond. Magically, on the 10th day, they shipped.

    Headlights flicker and radio cuts out when driving over a bump

    The fusible link needs to be a smaller gauge than the wire it's protecting so that it fails first.

    Stamps or tubes

    It's not just the bushings, the stamped steel arms deflect and the tubular control arms don't. I used Performance Online brand and am very happy with them. However, they made bazillions of these trucks with stamped steel control arms and they work just fine. Depends on what you want out of your...

    Is this the original bed on my 85 Chevy k10

    Not original bed. As stated, you would have a square filler, not round. And that tailgate is 1973-1980 tailgate.
