    LS 5.3 High Idle

    I'm having a high idle issue, seems to be a common problem (according to the internet) but I haven't seen anything posted in these threads with all of your expert assistance. Embarrassingly enough, I think this has been an issue since swapping the motor in and I just never really picked up on it...

    Brake booster bolts

    Looking for advice on the upper bolts for the brake booster. The truck didn’t have a booster when I got it so I think that’s how it came stock. I can’t think of how to fasten the top of the brake booster to the truck. There’s just enough space to drop a thin nut behind the firewall bracket, no...

    No fuel pressure

    I went to move my truck in the driveway last week and it was acting like it was out of gas (I don’t have a working fuel gage). I didn’t need to move it anymore, but I put some gas in it and left it. This weekend I went to start it and no luck. No noise coming from the fuel tank led me to a no...

    C10 Club in Connecticut

    I went to a truck show over the weekend and talked to a c10 owner about a semi-local c10 club I was interested in (he had a sticker for the club on his truck). When I asked him how he liked them, he said he only has the sticker because he went to their latest social event, and added that they...

    Mystery Switch

    I’m trying to figure out what this switch is in the truck. It’s got the wood paneling on it that seems to match the trim but not sure if these were aftermarket accessories in the 70s/80s. The switch connects to light green and dark green wires on the steering column. From my research it looks...

    Tail light brake light issue

    I'm having an issue with my rear lights and can't find the problem. With lights off, both brake lights light up. With light on (both sides lit) and brakes applied, the drivers side brake light comes on but the passenger side goes dark. I assume I have a bad ground somewhere but going hand over...

    What did you pay for a square

    Not sure if there is any interest in this topic or not as it may be a bit personal for some, but since I didn't see a similar post I thought others may be interested in it as well. There are a few threads on how much people are selling a c10 for, but theres a big difference between how much...

    Whats the going rate for shortening a driveshaft? I think I got....shafted

    WARNING: Partial Rant I'm putting together an LS with a 5 speed trans (NV3500) 2WD in a SWB. The truck did not come with a driveshaft/drivetrain when I got it. I found an S10 NV3500 on craigslist. The guy sold me an aluminum driveshaft for $25 too that I knew I'd have to shorten. I installed...

    Can you ID these transmissions?

    I was looking for an NV3500 to mate up to my 5.3 LS and got a steal on these two shown in the pictures. The guy says he took them out of s10 trucks, one a 4.3L and another was a v8. I did some research on NV3500 transmissions and thought they didn’t come with casting numbers but both of these...

    Stock wire harness to battery and starter

    I’m having a tough time figuring out my stock wiring harness (engine bay motor side) for a 74 c10. When I got the truck, the motor was already taken out so I couldn’t label the wires. The lighting side of the firewall wiring terminal is straight forward, but the engine side is not so much. To...

    Opinion on transmission

    Hi everyone I'm in a bind and can't figure out which transmission set up to go for my build and could really use some opinions. All opinions welcome. I'm building a 74 short bed with a 5.3LS stock motor. Intent for the truck will be to cruise to some local shows and maybe drive it one day a...
