Chevrolet to GMC
Hey guys, it's been a while. Just wondering what your opinions on grille and emblem changes were on the 73-80 model trucks. It's no secret how amazing the early GMC grille was, but so was the Chevrolet grille. I'm really thinking about turning the old Silverado into a Sierra Classic. What do you... -
Rally Style Wheels?
I'm looking for some like these. Any idea where I might find some? Only ones I can normally find are the ones with lots of slots in them. But these only have 5 slots with the classic muscle car looking center hub. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful. EDIT: Looking...- Boondock

Best Door Panels
Which company out there has the best door panels for the 77-80 models? My passenger door window is broke, and the guy who's fixing it said that he's scared that he'll break the door panel to get to the innerds to fix the window crank. So I'm considering lettin' 'em break it and getting some... -
73-76 Tailgate w/ CHEVROLET
Basically I'm looking for the tailgate with CHEVROLET written all the way across. I'm guessing 73-76 were the only tailgates with them and I'm also guessing that they'll fit on a '78. Not looking to buy right away, but definitely interested in seeing if there's any out there and how much they're... -
Duel Tank Switch
Alright, so on the '78, I have an auxiliary tank which I occasionally use. Not very often, but often enough to where this little thing bothers the hell out of me the more and more I see a difference. I feel like mine's not factory or something, but I want your guy's input on it. I don't have any...- Boondock

Woodgrain v. Brushed Aluminium
Anybody have any comparison pictures and prices? I'm thinking about giving my interior a resto-overhaul this year during the summer and I'm not sure if I want to go woodgrain or brushed aluminium. Also how good does the woodgrain inserts hold up? My originals are brushed aluminium, but I know... -
Cab Corners Idea
Alright, not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I've got somewhat of an idea. I'm sure all of you are aware of the original cab corner trim pieces that were on our trucks once they came out of the factory. A lot of the times they end up tarnished and worn, so for a lot of... -
76?-79 Grille
Anybody possibly know where I can find a grille WITH the emblem placement. All the replacement ones do not have a place where you can put on the Chevrolet emblem and I hate debadging. I have the reproduction grille now without the emblem and I hate it. :( Also considering maybe getting a... -
Desert Fox
Anyone have much information on these or does anyone have one of these at all? I think they're a gift from God Motor Company. -
Paint Schemes
Well, by next summer, I'd like to get my ole 78 painted. She started out crimson red and white with the trim package, and I'd love to go back to that, but well.. Two-tone is expensive. So basically I'm just wondering what some of you guy's suggestions might be. Rather it be two-tone or single... -
#1408 Edlebrock Carburetor
Alright, so my truck has been having issues as of lately. It wants to either idle too high or idle too low and just shut off on me. We haven't isolated the problem just yet, as we're going to replace the spark plugs before we go over anything drastically. Anyways, my carburetor is a model...- Boondock

Sliding Back Glass
I'm looking for an intact sliding back glass for the 73-87. I suppose the later 80s glasses will fit the 73-80 models as well. I'm looking for the aluminium sliding glass in particular. I could care less about what sort of tint it has on it, or if it has any at all. Here's a reference of what... -
Full-Time to Part-Time
Not sure if this is the right section, but I'm trying to figure out what would be the pros and cons of changing my full-time 4WD hubs to part-times.. Like from Mile Marker hubs. Totally curious.- Boondock

Scottsdale Side Molding Opinions
So, I've been thinking about when my K10 is painted and pretty much restored on the exterior, I'm thinking of doing the Scottsdale spear molding.. I think it's more unique and easier to remove and install compared to the original Silverado type trim. Just wondering what you guy's opinions are... -
Emblem help.
So, recently I took out my old OEM grille and searched high and low for an OEM replacement on ebay to reproductions with the grille emblem placement.. So, I was stuck with buying a reproduction grille without any place for the emblem (I guess because of GM property rights). Anyone possibly know... -
Headlight Bezels Chroming
Alrighty, so recently I ordered the reproduction headlight bezels from LMC that are apparently plastic, as they are on pretty much EVERY other site I've looked on. I guess I really never thought about it until I ordered them that the OEM bezels are most diffidently some sort of metal. :3... -
Trim Removal.
Alright, guys.. Here's the problem.. I've got the 73-80 side and tailgate trim on my 78 K10. The tailgate band was simple enough, then the band underneath the back window was simple enough, as well. My problem is those damn side trim with the glue and clips and all that non-sense. Any tips on... -
Paint.
Boondock here again with a question for my fellow square enthusiast. I plan on painting my truck by the end of next year, if not the beginning of it. I've looked into some places and at first Maaco was a choice, but their reviews are absolutely terrible. It varies from shop to shop, though.. So... -
Billet Grilles
I've recently been looking into getting LMC Truck's custom billet grille with the polished silver Bowtie emblem. I'm thinking of going for a very sleek finish with new trim and new chrome. Anyways, I'm interested if any of you know how would you open your hood if you have a billet. I'm sure... -
