    A new comer with a problem

    The LMC panels are good replacements. On my 85 short bed, I did the floor, kick panel, rockers, cab corners and a bed side patch behind the tires. No issues, they also have some updated parts for behind the tires to mitigate mud and rot that worked well. They will drop ship a whole bed side to you.

    More Washer Pump Questions

    Your problem is probably the multi pin relay that the switch connects to at the bottom of the steering column. Find the pink wire going to towards the fire wall. This is the ground wire. Tap it with a press on connector and run a second wire out of the in-line tap. Touch your new wire to any...

    K10 fuel line for Holley sniper truck has dual tanks but I’m buying the hokey tank with the efi fuel pump it I’m needing a line kit for just one tank

    Is anyone going to comment on probably the cleanest frame I have ever seen on a Square? If that isn’t a replacement frame, then my hat is off to you. The original lines were run on the inside of the passenger side rake rail. Nothing can get to them in there, especially not a wrench

    washer pump not working

    Here is your module (below), which is likely your problem. The actual wiper switch is the first thing put into the steering column and the last thing to come out. You have to disassemble the entire column. If you end up trying it, I’d recommend you remove the column from the truck and do it...

    Sagging doors: where to start?

    Open the door, grab the bottom corner and see if it moves up and down. Keep an eye on the hinge pins when you shake it. That is where you want to start. You can replace the hinges one at a time. Open the door, put a jack stand under the corner and take the hinge all the way off the truck one...

    One more electrical plug identification

    Green is definetly Water temp. The three prong goes to the oil pressure sending unit behind the distributor, but the sending unit only has two prongs from it, the two vertices. The sensor does not use horizontal female on the plug.

    High Pressure Fuel pump install

    Also found this little gem on LMC’s website. I haven’t seen something like this for sale anywhere else. https://www.lmctruck.com/fuel-system/fuel-pumps/fuel-pump-control-module-15 Still no motor in the truck yet, but I will be sure to follow up when I get this done and running!

    High Pressure Fuel pump install

    Man, this looks like the way to go. I am already committed to this inline set up, but I might mortgage the house and put two of these in the shelf!

    Steering Column needs to be rebuild

    If you have enough skill to get the whole column out today the truck I think you can do the build yourself. All you need is a big table and a lot of patience. I tried to do mine while it was still in the truck and regretted it immediately. If it has all the bells and whistles (tilt, intermittent...

    High Pressure Fuel pump install

    Finally updating the powertrain on my 85 K10 Silverado short bed with a BluePrint turn-key, fuel injected 350. I am going to have to upgrade to a high pressure fuel pump obviously but I wanted to check with the group first before I install this. My issue is that I have dual fuel tanks so I...

    Please Help I'm Stuck!

    Check under dash and see look for this connector. It will be somewhere around the base of the column, but you won’t need to pull much apart. I don’t think your AC duct will be in the way either. It is a flat connector with two pins on each side. There is no other connector on the truck that fits...

    Intermittent steering wander?

    I had the same/similar issue. Blazer with a 6” lift. Guy before didn’t have it set up, and a 6” lift is way too high for such a short truck (my opinion). It kept loosening bolts on the steering box, and I expected eventually it was just going to crack the frame. I eventually figured out the...

    Best header back exhaust package for a 1985 K10 short bed

    Yeah, I hear ya. Definetly would be the easy button. I figure, if I am doing all the work of swapping a TBI motor into it by myself, I might as well keep the whole job DIY for bragging rights. That truck hasn’t been to a mechanic in over 25 years. Except for the paint, there is only one guy who...

    Best header back exhaust package for a 1985 K10 short bed

    Evening fellas! I am lining up my winter project and planning to swap the Jasper motor out of my shortbed for a Blue Print 340hp TBI turnkey. I am looking for recommendations on a header-back exhaust system with side vent pipes. Plenty of stuff out there for long beds, just not seeing what I...

    Wanting Led upgrade throughout while keeping stock look... Recommendations?

    I switched all four corners of my 85 over. I used the LMC after market fender lights, they work better than other options. One thing that you have to know since you are replacing your marker and brake/blinker bulb, know that all bulbs are not made the same. The problem that I found is that most...

    wiring issues

    Trying to think where a fuel gauge would cross with the headlights, and the only thing that comes to mind is the printed circuit behind the gauge cluster. Start there, any thing shorting should be fairly obvious. The previous owner may have added that rat nest to bypass an existing problem...

    Help finding a short, Who's good at ELECTRICAL???

    I know you said this truck is stock and unhacked, but what’s the story of this box?? Is that a snow plow relay or something? Looks like maybe something after market. Also, I assume this is a single battery set up, but if it’s not, are both batteries good?? One bad battery will ruin both of...

    Front bumper opinion on position

    That would drive me nuts. I think one of the bumper supports are out of wack. If you are going to go through the trouble of taking the bumper off to open up the holes on the bumper supports, just put a set of new bumper mounts on it in stead. I bet when you take the bumper off, the mounts are...

    Pass power window

    This kits come with an up and a down relay for each side (4). I wired that kit also. Mine came with a bad relay and the window was stuck up. If it is up and won’t go down, or vice versa, swap the relays and see if it works. They plug in and out of the harness so they are easy to replace.

    Dome light went cross-eyed.

    Well done! LMC does sell an LED upgrade cabin light, but if you go for it know, it is not plug and play. You are going to have to cut the roof to make it fit. Also, found out this weekend the dome light is on the fuse for the horn. The light under the dash is a separate circuit on the courtesy...

    No dash lights!!

    Pull the LEDs out and start with incandescent bulbs. LED bulbs do not operate on two separate circuits (one for marker and one for blinker). They operate on one circuit with high and low settings which means an LED bulbs will cross your marking and blinker circuits at the socket across the...

    Dash blinker lights glow when the marker lights are on.

    I think you are onto it jgonick. In looking at some tech specs on LED bulbs, they do not operate with two separate circuits (a dim and a bright). They operate with on one circuit with two power modes (low and high) using the same LEDs so the markers are likely crossing with the blinker lights...

    Dash blinker lights glow when the marker lights are on.

    Dash blinker lights glow when the marker lights are on.

    So, let me start off by saying I did this to my self by installing a Vintage USA dash in my 1985 K10 Silverado shortbed during a full restoration. Mistake, nothing but problems. This is NOT a plug and play upgrade. Expect to spend countless hours with whatever wiring diagram you can find on...
