    GMC Hood Ornament

    Some red pigments are very sensitive to sunlight. They break down and completely "disappear" The plastic is clear and the paint is behind it. The red paint was a little translucent and with the silver paint behind it the deep glossy color effect was created. Can you get the paint off the...

    Welcome from Austria. Cab and top of door. Top of door is often not used, the cab side weatherstrip is enough to keep the water out. https://www.lmctruck.com/body-components/exterior-rubber/cc-1973-87-exterior-rubber

    Wiring Harness? Choosing one?

    I used painless harnesses for my wifes 69 Mustang and a friends 77 K5. Installation was easy. Instructions are good and the customer service replied within 12 hours via mail and answered a question I had.

    Gas to Diesel swap, question on fueling

    When you rip it out of a Ford truck it's a ford part ;D The dual intake pump setup is the best solution imo.

    Gas to Diesel swap, question on fueling

    Thou shalt not put them Ford parts into Chevies. ;D The 1990 7.3 uses a mechanical fuel pump to feed the injector pump. Using the mechanical fuel pump that is on the engine would be the easiest way. No new sending units, no wiring work on the valve. Replacing a broken mechanical fuel pump is...

    Jack operation

    My 79 K5 jack has more sections and extends more. It works but it's really scary to lift the truck with that thing. The jack design could have changed over the years when locking at the jack decals and also be different for C and K trucks. The 79 jack looks like this:

    Steering stabilizer K30 install

    When the taper is fully seated everything it's ok. When you loosen the nut the bolt should sit tight in the tapered hole and need force to remove it (like tie rods) If it's coming loose easy check if the taper angles match or if something else is interfering.

    1991 c1500 rear axle to 1987 r10

    Welcome from Austria. Post some pics. Transmission is direct fit if both trucks have the same transmission. Driveshaft length. Axle width. Spring perches. That's my first guess what to look at.

    The modular C20 spindles can be used with 5 lug rotors?

    C20 to c10

    You could swap all suspension, steering and brake components from your C10 to the C20 as the engine crossmembers and mounting points are the same. You could even swap the whole crossmember.

    1973 Blazer tailgate aluminum panel restoration

    The tailgate band of my K5 was completely shot, it had dents and holes from a spare tire carrier and other stuff. I made an aluminum reinforcement plate with new mountings. Made the old band as straight as possible and glued the reinforcement in. Used aluminum based filler/bondo and sanded it to...
