    1982 Chevy C-10 short wheel base wide bed with specific to model camper. No power steering or brakes, no factory a/c. 250 with three in the tree standard transmission. I think Chevy called it a custom deluxe. New carpet previous owner installed, good original bench (a couple of small seam...

    Stock rear-end - how much power

    What are the biggest differences in rear-ends used on my 250 6cyl vs. the 454 trucks? Will the prior work with the later or is finding a rear end out of a big block truck the only way to go, when increasing power.

    what’s the current overdrive standard

    I figured I pull the three (and the one) on tree and put an S10 T-5 in. Is that still the current transmission of choice? Does anyone make a complete, all I need, kit for it or any other? I’d like to keep the bell housing and not spend the valve of my truck - if possible.

    Stance

    I was told this had a 2/4 drop. (Springs only on the front) Does that look correct. It sits a little level for my taste. Not sure if I should drop the front a couple of more inches of raise the back the same 2”

    Is this the third row seat some are using (picture)

    this seat is for sale local and affordable. I have a perfect good - to-be-recovered-to-change-color factory bench seat so if these aren’t better, more comfortable, I’d just keep my factory seat. Having these built in seats belts would be nice. Price on this seat is $80.00 Thanks in advance R

    It was originally bought for and color matched to this truck (it had been off of the truck a couple of years - truck was long gone)

    Big block head bolt(s) question

    I’m putting together a 454 ‘85 short block / 1976 781 factory heads and need head bolts. Quick question are there only two lengths? Seems the bolt holes on the outsides (still under the valve covers) should be shorter?

    I posted some time back (oct 2018) regarding a big backfire through the exhaust on my (then) recently acquired ‘82 C10 with integrated head 250-6. Motor had mystery carb on what looked to be a home made adaptor plate. Rusty Nail immediately called “vacuum leak” - it was. DBarre made me a deal on...

    Got the bored & stroked 454 short block together

    As with the start of any good project it is currently still in the planning, parts gathering, get it road worthy (for the least cash outlay) stage. It has a 250 6/3-speed now... If I don’t run across someone with more money than I can say no to - it’s a good bet it’ll end up big block powered.

    Look what followed me home.

    The bolt on intake is evident in this picture.

    Look what followed me home.

    The intake is actually part of the head. No option for better intakes, headers, bigger carbs. The 292 was used in Chevy’s bigger trucks along with light pickup trucks.
