    Oil Pressure Guage Mystery

    The oil pressure SWITCH is not your problem with your fuel pump. If the fuel pump relay is bad that switch is a backup path for current to the fuel pump. Once the engine builds enough oil pressure to close the switch contacts you would get power to the fuel pump but that would only matter if...

    Oil Pressure Guage Mystery

    Well of course they should... but will they? I had some trouble getting one locally and then they didn't last so I decided to order from RockAuto. That solved my oil pressure gauge problems. Regarding the oil pressure SWITCH that is against the firewall; it is difficult but not impossible to...

    Voltage Drop

    Lots of great advice here, I agree with pretty much all of it so no sense repeating it. I will say that I didn't realize just how bad my original alternator was until after I replaced it. About where in Mississippi are you located? Do you take that truck to Cruisin the Coast?

    New wheels/tires - 73 K10 w/2” lift

    I actually am a little embarrassed about doing that but THE SAME question gets asked and a picture tells the right answer. I have been on forums where the regulars would literally roast any "noob" that dared to ask a question that had previously been answered. They would say, "Do A Search" and...

    New wheels/tires - 73 K10 w/2” lift

    @bbusse That will work just fine. Here is mine with a Skyjacker 2" softride and 33x12.50s on the factory rally wheels.

    Oil Pressure Guage Mystery

    @JamesSam I went through 3 brand new sending units before the oil pressure gauge in my '87 started working correctly. Once you get a decent one they work just fine. This one was bad and you can see it was still almost new when I changed it.

    New Member - level front ‘77 k-10

    @MrCaviar it is difficult to tell from your pics but it sort of looks like you already have some "lift" on that truck. Can you take some better pics of the truck? And perhaps a pic of your front leaf springs? Maybe a pic of where the rear leaf springs attach to the axle? My truck has 2 inch...

    For Sale

    Perhaps you should re-gain control of your marriage. I can help with this. Instead of, "Hey honey, want to go...?" Try, "Get your stuff packed, we are going..." For extra points you can use the word B**ch either at the front of the sentence or at the end. Using the "B" word correctly can add...

    Amp running boards mounting

    @Zelph that truck doesn't have a gas tank! Unless he has a Blazer or installed a Blazer type gas tank.

    Pissing match

    Y'all do realize this is the internet right? This little corner of the World Wide Web is supposed to be dedicated to a discussion of an iconic, in fact a legendary generation of trucks. Everyone on this forum has a connection, has something in common with everyone else and usually we find that...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    So far today I have driven it to my favorite-ex-brother-in-law's so I could install a soft top on his roommate's Bronco. Last summer I installed the roll bar, I recently installed 3 point seat belts, and today we did the bikini top. I think it came out pretty nice.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I pulled a 4 wheeler around behind mine. Then we shined it up and I took my roommates out to dinner.

    C20 for towing

    I think it depends on what you want/need and how much time/how many miles you actually tow. There is no denying the Cool Factor in a campground when someone pulls in with a well maintained older truck. Can a Square Body tow? Absolutely, that's what Trucks do! But if a person really works...

    1986 Rare Build sheet? Tell me what you think!

    I am going to say right up front that I have never personally seen or even heard of a stepside with the 6.2 Diesel. That alone sets this truck apart. The MM4 Transmission is relatively unusual as well, they made them but they certainly weren't "common". Please post more pics of this Truck!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I very much want to do this as well. I like the idea of keeping a factory look but I always wished for a tachometer instead of that huge fuel gauge when I was driving my parents' vehicles. The nostalgia is nice but I want a tach. Of course I am VERY proud of my Quartz Clock! I hate to lose that.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I replaced both front calipers with a remanufactured set. The truck drives soooo much better. Apparently both calipers have been performing erratically for some time making me think I had more slack in the steering than I really had. They were original to the truck from 1987. They only had...

    Front caliper upgrade?

    I was just looking at these exact calipers last night. I am seriously considering trying these out. I am enjoying driving the truck all stock and so far the braking has been adequate. But this is a modification that no one can easily see and I like that a lot.

    What was the cause of the door strap defect?

    This is one end attachment point, it's inside the door panel: You can order this set of reinforcement brackets for $17.95 from USA1 Industries. I need to get a set for my truck but have not done it yet. 1981-87 Fullsize Chevy & GMC Truck Door Pull Strap Reinforcement

    Will this work with 35s?

    Thanks, but it's a little rough if you saw it in person. I am also running a Skyjacker front lift. The truck had blocks in the rear. In hindsight I should have paid the extra money and got the rear Skyjacker springs. That is still on the table. I want more rake than I have, to get it like...

    Will this work with 35s?

    @10scoops I don't know if you are focused on 35s and want the right lift for that or you want to get a certain look. The Truth that @mcarlo86 posted is worth listening to. My truck has just over 2 inches of lift and is running on 33s. 35s would definitely rub without more than 2 inches of...
