    Pretty sure I blew a head gasket this morning....

    This morning was her maiden voyage to go get a state safety inspection so I could register her. Inspection place was 20 minutes away. I had it about 10 when I started to lose power, the truck quit and white smoke (or steam?) started billowing from the hood. Temp gauge was maxed out, admittedly I...

    Do I even need a gas tank vent tube?

    On my '78 K10 when I replaced a leaking gas tank I moved the mounts up so that the tank didn't hang so low below the body. In doing so I believe I caused a fueling issue because now it takes forever to fill without the fill tube locking up and spitting gas out. I've been researching remedies...

    '78 K10 radiator overflow plumbing

    PO did not have an overflow tank and the hose attached to the radiator just below the fill shoots coolant out when hot. I looked up the appropriate tank for my truck but it appears to have 2 inlet/outlets. Does my truck recover coolant via vacuum through a single hose, or am I looking to tap a...

    Alternatives to anti-sway bar?

    My '78 K10 is very lifted, and I recently added crossover steering which required removal of the sway bar. I am on the verge of having it on the road now but am worried about stability. Does anyone know of anything that can be done to get some of that stability back? I've installed new shocks...

    E-brake options after BIG lift?

    I am trying to find a solution for extending the e-brake cables coming from the rear drums. This is a '78 K10 but I installed 1-ton axles. 1. This truck is lifted VERY high. I've read a lot about getting these for 4-6" lifts but I'm going need more than that. 2. I also would prefer not to do...

    Any explicit help on removing AC components and keeping heat?

    I've been trying to get a solid answer online and have had no luck. My '78 K10 came to me with the outer heater box completely tore off. The only thing still there was the blower motor and housing. I want to run heat only, no interest in restoring the AC (if it ever existed). The controls in...
