    Cut Dash Help

    So a few months ago I found a post and responded to a member in it. However, I cannot find the post now. I thought I watched it, but I guess not. Basically, I want to run the factory radio in my 84. The dash has been cut, but I have an unmolested dash n my parts truck I can cut. I don’t want to...

    Help with windshield washer pump and motor

    So I was going to change parts out from my 86 lwb to my 84 swb and noticed some significant differences. I pulled out the ol’ LMC catalog and found their was a change in 85. Well, I want to sort out the bugs while the 84 is torn apart. However, I’m not sure how the old pump works and how the...

    How can I spot the difference in oem springs?

    Is there any easy way to tell? My truck, I’ve dubbed “the bride” because she’s definitely Frankensteined. She sits up higher than my 86 lwb and my dad’s 87. It’s an 84 and like I said definitely pieced together.

    Vacuum routing and PCV valve

    So I want to run a PCV valve on my 84. As far as I can tell, there’s not one. The engine bay is pretty much just like I bought it. I fixed a water leak, changed the valve covers (the valve covers that came on the truck were circle track valve covers) and cleans the carb. Yesterday, I was...

    Wiper arm and hood removal

    I asked this in my under construction thread, but I don’t think anyone looks at that so I want to ask here. Also, I searched for the wiper arm removal and didn’t see any posts. 1. How do you remove the wiper arms? It looks like there is a little tab, but I can’t get it to release with my...

    Body and glass parts

    I’ll add to this as I remove more parts. LWB bed: Price is obo and it’s cheaper because there are three carriage bolts that are stuck and will need to be cut out. Unfortunately, I don’t have any tools to cut them out or a steady hand, so you’ll have to bring something to cut them out. I’ll help...

    Help with price.

    So I’m going to part out my long wheel base, after I rob it for parts. Three of the bolts in the bed are stuck and will need to be cut. The problem is I don’t have any tools to do it. I’m willing to give someone a great deal on the bed if they come cut the bolts themselves. I’m even considering...

    Complete interior wiring harness removal

    Can anyone point me to a walkthrough to remove all the wiring in the cab? I’ve searched and can’t find anything. Wiring schematics do nothing for me.

    What’s this?

    I asked this in my under construction thread, but I wanted to ask here as well. Also, I am curious of how hard it is to swap the cab wiring harness? I have random wires that were cut in my swb and no idea what they are. I’m guessing it was for a radio install. Anyway, I found this wire behind my...

    Which would be easier?

    So I was planning on doing a clip and cab swap on my truck. The donor truck has a rusted out passenger inner fender and the passenger fender has been hit. My truck has good inner fenders and core support, so I'm ditching the complete clip swap. It's my understanding that I'll have to remove the...

    Stepside dual tank bed or Rust free Shortwide?

    Hey guys I'm looking for a dual tank stepside bed or a really nice rust free shortwide dual tank bed. I prefer the later style with the doors if it's a shortwide. I live in Arkansas and am willing to travel up to 200-300 miles for the right deal.

    Speedo

    Stupid question, but I know nothing of transmissions or rear ends. Why is my speedometer off by 20+? It may actually be more. When I drive on the freeway, it's pegged out. In fact, it's pegged out driving on the country highways some times. Is it a gear ratio issue?

    Dual tank swb regular bed to single tank stepside?

    Stepside bed with dual fuel fillers

    Does anyone have a swb stepside bed with dual fuel tank fillers near Arkansas? I’d like to keep my dual tank setup, but I might consider going to a single tank if I could find someone with the bed and tank setup for sale.

    Help! I can’t stop my coolant leak.

    Hey guys, I found a coolant leak from my thermostat housing two weeks ago. I bought a new housing because it had one of those chrome jobs on it. I replaced the thermostat, housing, and hoses, but when I fired it up, it started leaking again in the same area, maybe worse. So, I took it apart...

    So I decided to change the thermostat and housing today. I popped the hose to find a surprise. Can someone tell me what is going on with my cooling system?

    Drop kit recommendations that don’t require notching the frame

    Like the post says, I am looking for drop recommendations that don’t require notching the frame. I think I’m going to use my income tax returns to drop the truck and buy a stepside bed if I can find one. I’ve looked through the forum for some recommendations for a drop, but I see mostly kits...

    1964 Ford F100

    This is my other project. It runs and drives, but I currently have it stored in my parent’s garage. It’s a 1964 F100 with an inline 6 and 3 speed on the column. I eventually want to do a P71 frame/drivetrain swap. I know there’s a lot of hate for Fords, but my grandpa bought this one new off the...

    Dual tank issues

    This is my first square body, and I’ve never dealt with dual tanks before. When I bought the truck, the PO informed me that only the passenger side worked, and it was this way when he received the truck. He said he didn’t know why. I want to get both tanks working, but I’m not sure where to...

    Fuel leak

    I have been out of town for a few weeks and decided to fire up the 84 yesterday. I popped the hood and checked the oil. Then I went to the cab to fire it up. It took several pumps of the pedal and a few cranks, but the truck fired up. I sat in the cab for a few minutes before hopping out to do a...

    Paint Removal Suggestions

    So, I was thinking that this horrible paint job on my truck was just sprayed over the original paint since the jams are all original. My question is this: What would you suggest or have you had luck with removing paint to get to the original? I was thinking about trying some light sanding. If...

    New to the site

    Hi all! I just traded a Honda for a 1984 C10 short wheel base. This is my first square body although my dad has an 87 R10 that he bought back in the early 90s. But enough about him, I was looking for an older car when I stumbled upon this. I’ve always liked these trucks, but in my area, they are...
