    Nothing happens when turning key. Better results when in neutral. Tried changing the Neutral Safety Switch

    This issue started slowly about a month ago and got worse quickly. At first I would turn the key repeatedly and after 3rd or 4th try it would start. Then it got to where it was 8-9 tries. Next I started putting the truck in neutral and had better success initially but even that has gotten...

    Taillights & blinkers driving me nuts. Not sure what else to check

    79 Silverado stepside About a year ago I upgraded that lights to LED’s so they would be brighter. Everything worked fine. If the truck sits for too long, there’s times the rear lights won’t work at all (blinkers, sidelights on rear, brake lights). The couple times I’ve fixed it by...

    Having some rub on inner fender well

    I finally got my stance the way I want it, but am not encountering some rubs above the tire on the inner fender well on the passenger side. I've not driven it much yet, but it rubbed twice after getting to the bottom of a hill. The truck is a 79 Silverado stepside. Originally, I installed 3"...

    Size bolt/screw for vent windows to attach to door

    Anyone know the bolt/screw sizes used to attach the vent window frame to the door on a 79 c10? Was planning to replace them, but LMC doesn't sell them separately it appears. My son apparently threw the old ones away (teaching moment :) ). Thanks!

    What glass setting tape for vent window? (No LMC)

    I’m ready to replace the seals on my vents. However, I need some glass setting tape. I ordered it from LMC with some other random things I needed but now that box is lost in transit to me and LMC keeps dragging their feet to send a replacement. Has anyone used other tape? If so, what size do I...

    79 C10 Blinker issues - Faint dash signal

    Just started having issues where my blinkers are not working. When I turn the driver side on, the bulb lights up very faintly. If I click the passenger side on, it sometimes flashes once brightly and then goes off. The flasher and fuse is good. My back up lights don't come on at all. My...

    79 Silverado - brake issues after lowering

    I just lowered the front 3” with drop spindles. When putting everything back together, the steel hose to the caliber had to be bent slightly to keep the rubber brake hose from running the caster nut on the spindle. This is common when lowering from what I’ve read. I never disconnected the brake...

    79 C10 stepside - Belltech 6700 Shackle - Wrong part?

    Trying to lower my 79 C10 step side. Was planning to use the Belltech 6700 shackle but it looks like it may not sit low enough to fit under the bed. Will the angle change once installed or do I need a different part? Everything I read said this was the part I needed, so I’m a bit confused...

    Can't find my temperature wire - LS Swap

    I just completed an LS swap on my 79 C10 stepside. Even though I'm only the 2nd owner of the truck, it's obvious the old owner tried various wiring changes because some of the wiring makes zero sense. The new engine is firing up and running great. The only thing not working yet is my...
