    Drip Rail Sealant

    Hey guys, it’s been a while since I took my truck apart and had it sand blasted. It’s at the body shop now and I’m curious if there’s meant to be any sealing layer or glue strip between the drip rail and the cab to keep water from the fastener holes. Do they glue and screw or just screw on and...

    Tripod mirrors on lowered trucks?

    So my truck came with the rpo DG4 for the stainless tripod mirrors. They are easy to see out of but, what are they going to look like on a lowered truck? I have seen trucks my color even with the sport mirrors but they look kind of small and are difficult to see out of. Does anyone have pics...

    TH350 Pedal Mounted Detent Cable??

    I am working toward doing an LQ4 swap into my 78 C10 and had planned to keep the TH350 I have for the time being or for a long time if it lasts. Anyway, long story short, I would like to figure out a way to keep the passing gear cable and wondered if running it off the accelerator pedal would be...

    TH350 Slips in Drive but will back up

    My grandfather's 84 k10 has sat for ~5 years on the side of a hill in the yard with a bad fuel pump. He had a newer truck that was easier to drive than to fix the old truck and we never really needed it until recently. My Duramax was giving me all sorts of trouble and needing a truck I decided...

    Advice for rebuilding a 350 on a budget

    I'm to the point in my rebuild on my 78 c-10 that I need to start on the engine. My truck didn't have the original engine in it but it was pretty tired and wasn't running properly when it got parked a decade before I got it. I have a couple of options and am curious about the most cost...

    2001 YZ 250

    Picked up a bike the other day thinking I might have a cheap toy but my excitement about getting a new bike may have bit me this time. I bought this one expecting to fix it so I knew a little of what I was getting into. The guy selling this bike called it an 02 but in reality it is an 01...

    Header Paint?

    Anyone have any words of experience on painting a set of headers? I picked up a pair of rusty truck headers and want to paint them before putting them to use. I really like the look of white but I don't have high expectations they would stay that way. You guys use bbq paint, vht flame proof...

    EFI Fuel Pump Options

    Hi guys. I wanted to gauge some interest on here and get some ideas about what you can do when LS swapping in a c10. I am aware of the 87 tank and sending unit route with the EP381 pump. This appears to be the most common route that I have seen taken in the threads I have read. However, are...

    Floorboard paint

    I'm repairing the floor pans in my pickup but am not planning on painting the truck for a while. I'm curious what you guys suggest to paint the floor with to prevent rust and would wear good in the floor while waiting to paint it. My carpet was toast and I tossed it. I don't plan to buy carpet...

    Cab Stand or Dolley

    I want to build a stand to sit my cab on so I can wheel it around in the garage and get more room to work with the frame. Anyone built something like this or have any ideas what would work? A picture or two would be helpful if you have something. I work by myself a lot in the garage and moving...

    69 GMC C-15

    I have been working on restoring an old 78 c10 for over a year or two now. Getting in no hurry, you can find my build thread in the under construction section.

    Fuel Pump Line Adapter?

    Hey guys, I thought the fuel pumps were all the same on the small blocks. I needed to change the one on my 69 GMC so I grabbed one off the shelf that I had for my 78 and bolted it on. Then crawled under to put the line to the carb on and find that the line is way smaller than the hole it screws...

    How similar are the square frames to later model trucks?

    I was driving to work this morning thinking about an LS swap for my square and had an idea. Would it be simpler to buy a rollover late model truck and sit my body on that truck instead of trying to swap all that to my frame? Anyone with experience with both that can say one way or the other? I...

    Floorboard Thickness

    I am going to need to patch a couple spots in my floorboard. The holes are small and not really worth buying a whole floorpan. Does anyone know what thickness these floor pans are so I can get some at the metal shop and make a couple small patches? Also anyone had issues with these little plugs...
