    Reproduction VIN plates?

    Is there any way to get a new vin plate made? Mine is extremely hard to read. I can provide proof that I own the truck with the title and the SPID. Is this something the GM heritage center does is is there anyone out there that does it? I’d like to get one for the door sticker too since I had to...

    Steering column wiring

    I got a deal on a 81-82 tilt column that I just couldn’t pass. Only problem is it’s missing the shifter arm and someone cut the wiring harness off and mounted a under dash ignition. So I’m guessing I need a new ignition which is no big deal. The issue I have is finding the wiring. Never had one...

    Steering column swap.

    Hey guys I have a 82 k10 that I’m working on restoring. I picked up a late model tilt column with the multi function switch and I’m wondering if I can either convert my truck to use the multi function switch or convert the switch to look more similar to the old column. My truck didn’t have delay...

    Factory diesel tach

    Hey guys, I’ve finally bought a factory diesel tach, thanks Dave, and now I’m trying to figure out how to wire it for my 6.2 diesel. I’ve read mixed things. Some say stator tap, some say you need a factory ESS, I’ve read somewhere you can use a Dakota Digital DSL-2 kit. What’s the right way to...

    Adding gauges

    I’ve been trying to find a clean way to mount some extra gauges for my diesel k10. I’m adding a pyro, boost, and oil temp. I do not care for the look of the pillar mount that a guy made for these trucks. I also do not want a under dash mount. On dash would be okay but only if it was all in one...

    Engine harnesses

    I have a 82 k10, originally a 305 truck, that I am swapping a 6.2 diesel into. I have both engine harnesses. The 6.2 is also out of an 82. My question is are the firewall connectors pinned the same for a 6.2 and for a 305? Or will I need to use the 305 harness and adapt it to the diesel. My...

    Cassette Tuner Recommendations

    Anyone have any recommendations for a shaft style cassette deck they had back in the day that they really liked? Like most of the other electrical parts in my truck, the radio is toast from being damp so long. Since my dash is un-molested I think I’m gonna keep it that way, for now, and go with...

    Rebuild an engine in the truck

    So I can’t find info in this. I want to know if anyone has ever done a re-ring kit with the engine still in the truck. I know big diesels are rebuild in frame all the time but I’ve never seen a light truck engine done. I ask because I don’t have an engine stand or hoist and don’t want to buy one...

    Rental trailers

    Not sure if this is the correct place for this but here I go. My K10 is located in Raymond Washington, about 220 miles from where I live in Ellensburg. The truck doesn’t run as the engine is locked up solid. I don’t have a trailer so naturally I go looking for a rental. I went and talked to...
