    Taillights not working!

    Also, none of my running lights work EXCEPT for the tails. My front side markers dont even have bulbs in them and my front blinkers don't work and I'm not sure if that's a bulb thing but the housings are broken.

    Taillights not working!

    I'll check those grounds tonight. My MFS is actually gone on this column. Like just gone. Broken inside and everything. That would have an effect on the brake lights? I can piss people off all day with no indicators but my brake lights are a must fix.

    Ideas for dome light?

    How about putting those switches in that turn the light on when the door is open. Shouldn't be too hard right?

    Ideas for dome light?

    My truck did not come with a dome light from the factory. So I'm weighing my options of cutting the hole for one and putting one in or just wiring an LED strip up there. If I can install a headliner I might be able to hide the wires and use a different dome light. Just looking for suggestions.

    Taillights not working!

    I couldn't really see any grounds attached to the cab but the gauge issue came about suddenly when this has always been an issue.

    Taillights not working!

    I am getting so frustrated. When I purchased the truck, all of the wires to the tails were cut and dangling. So i went ahead and spliced them all back together and I have no stop lights. I have lights when I pull the headlights but no blinkers, reverse or stop light. Its pretty dangerous and...

    Gauge issues?

    When I say dummy lights I mean idiot lights lol. Sorry. And yeah I have the base cluster, with idiot lights for oil, voltage, etc. I said gauges referring to Fuel and speedometer. And by gauge lights I mean the lights that make the gauges visible at night. But its a base cluster.

    Gauge issues?

    I'll check this out after work. Thanks! I did replace plugs/wires/etc at the same time so I may have knocked it loose.

    Gauge issues?

    So I took out my cluster today to replace my bulbs with LEDs and I noticed a weird issue. Even with regular bulbs it did this: when the lights are off the gauges work fine, when the running lights are on, the dash lights and gauges work fine, but as soon as I turn the headlights on I lose the...

    83 K10 Cold Idle issues

    When I start my truck in the morning I have to sit on the throttle for approx 8 minutes (half throttle) otherwise the truck will die. Any ideas on why this is happening?

    Anybody using LED tail lights

    I guess you're right. We spent 280 on LED tails for my girls 2013 Hyundai Elantra so 200ish isnt bad for the added style and visibility

    Dodge Bench Seat in my 83 K10?

    He wants to swap seats because the red seat matches his truck more. And his black one has a fold down console.

    Dodge Bench Seat in my 83 K10?

    So my girl's step dad has a 78 Dodge Powerwagon. Thing is clean and has a black vinyl bench seat in 10/10 condition. My K10 has a red bench seat which is not the original (my truck is a brown color). Question is: Would that be extremely hard to swap? 78 Powerwagon to 83 Chevy K10?

    No cigarette lighter or dome light

    I have an 83 K10 with no dome light but I do have an ash tray and lighter. I also those vents you pull on the floor. I think that's what you're talking about, no dash vents.

    New guy from Nevada.

    Just picked up an 83 K10 Custom Deluxe today. Has an abundance of problems (taillights dont work, drivers floor is rusted out, missing the little piece on the end of the clutch adjustment rod, no turn signal lever etc) but I love it. It has the 350 with the 4 speed stick. After I get the...
