    79’ round eye to 80’ square eye

    1980 was also the first year for those sweet mirrors that were used up to 1999 or 2000. I loved the 1980 grille/headlights myself...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Drove mine to the dump Friday after sitting for a couple weeks, and the damn heater fan wouldn't come on at any speed. I've never had a problem in the past, and always liked how good the heater & controls worked in it. After reading another thread about testing the resistor & relay, I broke out...

    Welcome from Montana! The V designation is for the last year of that body style in that series, 10 or 20. Coolant temp sensor plays a big part in good cold start-ups, so that may be a place to look also.

    I have one of those, but the only thing they'll hold is a small bottle of water/beer or a soda/beer can

    Dash Differences?

    My brother had an '86 C-10 w/305, CA truck & it also had the light in the center of the bezel. Maybe they were only on CA models?? Like Blue Ox said, the diesels had a "glow plug" light there, not the "check engine" Diesels also had 80 psi oil pressure gauges.

    Should this new guy buy this '85?

    Just make sure they didn't hack everything up doing the swap, i.e., wiring, cross members. It looks like a pretty solid, straight truck, offer him $3,800

    Enumclaw C10 Show

    Lot's of nice trucks, but some of the wheels need to be thrown in the dumpster! Wheel choices are always subjective, but some people just have HORRIBLE taste! I'm more of a purist & think that the '63 had the coolest wheels!

    steering box adjustment

    I recently rebuilt my box & here's what I learned. The gear on the end of the pitman shaft is tapered, thus adjusting it will move the larger portion of the taper into the main box gear, taking out free-play to a point. I adjusted mine with the steering wheel unlocked, and you can watch the...

    My mechanic buddy claims Redhead is the best out there. That's what I was going to suggest.

    Power Steering Pump Differences

    I also believe that the class action lawsuit against GM in regards to the exploding fuel tank upon a massive side impact contributed to that frame change & fuel tank re-location.
