    Oil Pressure Wiring

    Yeah I have the gauge on the dash. Worked fine before I swapped the motor. Now the wire is just sitting in the engine bay. I was hoping to wire it into the 3 prong oil pressure switch (the one I have wired up for the fuel pump)

    Oil Pressure Wiring

    So on my 81, I just swapped in my 383. From factory, there are 2 different oil pressure units. One is a sender, and one is a switch. To my knowledge, the 2 prong unit down by the oil filter is just operating the choke heater. The bigger canister type up my the manifold is giving signal to the...

    My foot is on fire.

    I have no idea what's up with my floor vents. Ever since I got the truck, heat has worked, and when I put it on defrost, the floor vent shuts and I get defrost like it should normally work. My problem is when it's not on defrost, that flap is wide open on the bottom and my foot gets HOT. When...

    Opinions on an Engine Swap for 81 C10

    What kind of block is ideal? Pre 87 would have mechanical pump, but flat tappet cam, correct?

    Opinions on an Engine Swap for 81 C10

    Saw a 90s 350 Vortec (I think) engine on Facebook Marketplace today. It was a 880 block, which I believe has provisions to run roller cam and has mechanical fuel pump. Am I correct on this?

    Is there a brand of crate you would recommend? Blueprint? GMPP?

    Opinions on an Engine Swap for 81 C10

    Idk. I just feel like when I pop the hood it's more natural to see a 350/454 under it then an LS Swap. It's not like I loathe LS Swaps.

    Opinions on an Engine Swap for 81 C10

    @Bextreme04 I guess it's more tempting now to get machine work done because with all the stuff that you listed, I thought it would cost more. 300-350HP is about what I'm after, but more concerned with torque. I've seen some junk Vortec 350s for about $300 around me, but alot of miles. @75gmck25...

    Opinions on an Engine Swap for 81 C10

    Right now, I have an extremely tired 305 and I'm ready to swap it out. Now I've bounced around different ideas, but not sure on which route to take. I think I've narrowed it down to wanting a 350. I don't want to do LS swap or big block. I've done some research and I've come down to: 1. Buy a...

    TH350 Help

    Looking under there today and noticed alot of fluid seems to be lurking around the pan area. This plug I took a picture of seems to have alot of gunk around it along with some fluid. Is that the speedo cable? The speedo hasn't worked since I've gotten this truck, I'm thinking this could be why...

    Need Seat Help!

    I think I messed up...somehow. I've been restoring my truck, and when I got the truck, it had no seat brackets on the bottom of it. That's fine, so I ordered some from somebody. Now when I go to put them up to the seat, I have no idea how these are supposed to mount up. Nothing lines up. Its a...

    Seat Brackets/Tracks

    Anyone know if suburban bench brackets also fit c10 bench seats? Just trying to broaden my search. I have the original bench but no brackets to mount it in the cab. Or maybe anyone know where I can find some?

    Door Parts Interchangeability

    I'm wondering, will I have holes to fill on the bottom on my 81 door using the 78-80 panels? Sent from my OnePlus 7T using Tapatalk

    Door Parts Interchangeability

    Cool, so I'll probably use the 81 glass because it's thicker. So I guess when I purchase the belt line weather strip, it needs to be the 81 one? Since I'm going to use the 81 window? Sent from my OnePlus 7T using Tapatalk

    Door Parts Interchangeability

    So if I swap out the 81 regulator into the 75 door, would I use the 81 or 75 glass? Sent from my OnePlus 7T using Tapatalk

    Door Parts Interchangeability

    Prepare to be as confused as I am. So on my 81 C10, on the driver's side, is a 75 door. On the passenger side is the original 81 door. The door panels I'm installing are from 77-80. These door panels should work on my passenger door, but to my understanding, the window crank shaft is shorter in...

    Engine squeal and belt wobble

    So recently I had to adjust the timing on my 305. Well I didn't really know what the PO did to the engine, so I rotated the engine to TDC, but when I first did this I rotated it counterclockwise and I think I loosened it, so then I ended up going clockwise to get it to TDC, adjusted the timing...

    Headlight Harness Upgrade Problems

    I made sure my pinout was correct for the H4 bulbs and it is. Like I said, I had a voltmeter up to it while they were on and the high beam has about 12v when on but the low beam has only 6.5v. What do you mean about zero ohms at ground? You don't think it could be dimmer or headlight switch...
