    77 C10 blower motor fuse keeps blowing

    Any ideas? It runs for a couple of days, then blows the fuse. Tested everything I could think of with a multimeter, everything reads fine. I came across some post about a resister in the relay being a culprit, but there doesn't seem to be one in my relay.

    Looks like I have to rebuild or replace my 350 in Houston area

    I've got a 77 c10 with the 350/350. Seems I had an oil leak that went unnoticed since my pressure gauge inside read fine and I had no spots on the ground, so crank bearings are toast. I don't have a space or tools to work on rebuilding it myself, so if anyone has any leads for either shops in...

    I bought some drums and shoes from RA not realizing I had the 2 3/4"s, and shipping them back isn't really worth it. Anybody need 'em? They are the AC Delco gold. Drums and shoes.

    Dumb question - what is this? (77 C10 350)

    Hey all. Wondering what this thing is. It had a manifold vacuum line coming from the carb on it, but seeing as how it's half made of duct tape, I just plugged the vac line. It's up on the passenger side firewall. Thanks

    Hi all. Having trouble with reverse first thing in the morning. I shift into reverse but it doesn't engage. Eventually slips in when I give it gas, then it's fine the rest of the day. Fluid and filter are fine. Previous owner had it rebuilt in 2016. I thought maybe some vaccuum issue, but I...
