    No start - fuel issue?

    1977 K20 SBC, 4bbl carb, no crazy mods. 30gal saddle tanks, I only ever fill the driver side. About 6 months ago, I was driving my truck up a long incline on the interstate and it experienced a surging/loss of power issue. It bucked and puttered like it was running out of gas. I was doing a...

    Time for a new radiator

    Hey guys, I've had a new radiator on my to-do list this summer as I'm pretty sure it is original to the truck and is starting to show some serious age. But as of last weekend it has now begun to leak, which means it is officially time to spring for a new one. I'm looking for opinions on what...

    Couple extra wheels

    These have been sitting and I want them gone. Set of 2. $50 OBO. I'll ship them wherever, but buyer has to pay actual cost. I can get better photos if requested. Tires are not great, but they will drive.

    Show us your lights

    Let's do a thread about different setups of driving/fog/aux lights. I want to get some new ideas. This is how mine sits now. The orange fogs came with the truck, and as far as I can tell they are original era. I pulled the top lights from a fire alarm because they were free and matched my push...

    Cranks without starting - ignition?

    Hey guys, So I ran into an issue this morning that I am hoping will have an obvious answer. '77 K15, quadrajet 350. Some background: drove the truck home on Sunday, running completely normally. On Tuesday, I wired up a new set of fog lamps. I had the battery disconnected as I did this. Wired...

    What steerings wheels will swap with our trucks?

    Been tossing around the idea of doing a new captain's control for my '77. Thought it might be fun to swap something from an older car or even a tractor just for something different. Found an old IH 16" wheel that would be pretty unique. A friend has got an old Pontiac something or other sitting...

    General advantages of different style carbs

    Hey guys, long story short - I have a perfectly fine Rochester q-jet on my 350, but through the magic of local connections I was recently offered an Edelbrock 1405 for $75. Again - I don't need it - but for $75 of course the wheels in my head started turning; maybe it would be fun to mess with...

    Let's talk oil

    What type of oil is everyone running? And where does everyone stand on the synthetic/conventional thing? I've heard opinions from both sides of the camp that seem equally as grounded. At my altitude and temperature I've been using 5W30 ('77 350) with no issues. Just your basic NAPA/Wal-Mart...

    Seat Cover Recommendations

    Looking for a new seat cover for my bench. Was about to pull the plug on the "Outlaw" brand covers on Amazon but was deterred after reading nearly a 1/4 of the reviews stating that the thing shreds and disintegrates after 2 months. I am interested in the "saddle blanket" style cover like the...

    Where can I find this grille?

    I've seen lots of photos of this style of billet grille that seems to have 8-9 bars: And I mean lots... However, no matter *where* I seem to look, all I can manage to find are grilles of this style, which have 13-14 bars and are much thinner in profile: I know it seems trivial, but I...

    Saw a Jimmy for sale locally with this wild sun visor on it. Absolutely fell in love. 43565397_1707901392668948_3089182848582680576_n by Hatchet54 posted Oct 24, 2018 at 7:03 PM I've never been an overwhelming fan of the Lund/etc. fibreglass visors as I find they generally look too plastic...
