    Dash cluster light - Electrical Circuit Number 8 question

    Wow @AuroraGirl , that's very helpful! I had no idea the codes on the SPID label are the ones found on the GM 1980 GMC Service Manual (attached "fuse_block_diagram.JPG"). Thanks! And thanks for the @chengny post, it helps. I still need to know which orange wire that is that goes to the terminal...

    Dash cluster light - Electrical Circuit Number 8 question

    Hi @AuroraGirl , thanks a lot for posting that. I attached a pic of my fuse box ("fuse_block_picture.JPG"). It has a few wires removed for clarity. I left one orange wire which is for the courtesy light. There was never anything plugged into my LPS terminal. As you say you have a 1212 orange...

    FREE Driver Side Gas Tank Sending Unit

    All I know is what it says in the LMC manual. They are parts 32-4036 (73-79) and 32-4044 (80-89). They are both drivers side and both 3 outlet. The diameter opening is the same as I can see. Please see attached picture of 32-4044 (and compare to above picture of 32-4036). I'd say the position...

    Reverse light power...

    Yep, I'm talking about the green and blue pair of wires in your first picture. You illustrate where they enter the cab and go up and then to the right. In my case, they continue to the base of the steering column (inside the cab) and then disappear in the harness there (that moves away from the...

    1977 C30 Fuel Gauge wiring

    I'm posting pictures of my firewall bulkhead connector to support my post above. It looks like the bulkhead is different on my 80 K15 than the 77 C30 that @Timtom posted, so this won't really do @Timtom any good, sorry. My Circuit 30 is the wire in the bottom left, which looks to me kinda...

    1977 C30 Fuel Gauge wiring

    @Timtom if you're still working on this I might have a bit of insight. You're asking about the solid tan fuel gauge wire. Yes, it is Circuit 30 on your diagram and it originates at the dashboard fuel gauge. It proceeds out of the firewall bulkhead connector (more on that later) and joins the...

    Why did GM route Circuit Number 30 Fuel Gauge to Tank Unit as they did?

    Thanks a lot, @mtbadbob and @RanchWelder . I appreciate the kind comments. So do I understand @RanchWelder correctly, that for a dual tank configuration, there's no reason for Circuit 30/30A to run all the way to the fuel tank area? And that's because the only function of Circuit 30 and Circuit...

    Why did GM route Circuit Number 30 Fuel Gauge to Tank Unit as they did?

    Hi, I'm using ST_352_80_1980_Chevrolet_Light_Truck_Wiring_CK_10_30_Only.pdf (don't know the actual title... the front page is not included in the PDF). Page 11 includes the "AUXILIARY FUEL TANK" schematic, and it illustrates circuits 30 and 53. Please see attached snippet...

    FREE Driver Side Gas Tank Sending Unit

    Hi, I'm giving away a Driver Side Gas Tank Sending Unit because I shouldn't have ordered it. It's brand new in the original box. Never been used. It was ordered from LMC Truck August 2023. It is LMC part number 32-4036. I should have ordered 32-4044 (and I've got that now). LMC says it's for...

    Reverse light power...

    On my 1980 GMC K15 manual 4-speed, I have the reverse switch out the left side of the trans, near the top/front. There are a pair of wires coming out, one green, one blue. Here they are from ST_352_80_1980_Chevrolet_Light_Truck_Wiring_CK_10_30_Only.pdf: They are circuit 24 (light green, Back...

    Dash cluster light - Electrical Circuit Number 8 question

    Hi, I have a 1980 GMC K15. My dashboard gauge cluster lights don't come on when I turn on the headlights. I've replaced the printed circuit on the back of the cluster plate but that didn't help. I did that because the current one looked pretty ratty. Then I found this thread that had excellent...

    Yukon Grizzly Locker MUST READ

    Hey @Fastduramax , how did it turn out with the Grizzly Locker? Did you install it? Front or rear diff or both? How is driveability? Good on the paved road at all speeds? How about on rough terrain? I'm looking for a locker for my 1980 K15 SM465/NP205 long box, for both the rear GM corporate...

    73-87 (91) Fleetside Tailgate Mechanism Repair

    I just did my tailgate. I used LMC parts. I replaced the tailgate handle (part 38-6622), the latch rods (38-6633), and the left and right latch assemblies (30-1546 and 30-1547). Once the latch assemblies and tailgate handle are roughly in place inside the tailgate, the next step is to insert the...

    Adapter between SM465 and NP205

    A bit of cautionary advice here: during this project I pulled the engine. I forget if I mentioned that earlier in the post. At this point the NP205, adapter, and SM465 are all bolted together, and earlier this week I installed the engine. Just before installing the engine, I noticed that the...

    Replacement electric external fuel pump suggestion?

    My engine is a 1980 350ci with a Holley 600 cfm vacuum secondary carburetor, electric choke. I got a Mr. Gasket #12S electric fuel pump (I haven't installed it yet). The package clearly states "A fuel pressure regulator is highly recommended". On Mr. Gasket's website, the "Shop by Vehicle" is...

    Ok thanks @bucket, that's good info. I suppose either configuration is structurally the same...

    Adapter between SM465 and NP205

    Thanks @bucket! When you say “a means of giving the bolts more room to stretch”, do you mean that the spacers from the factory (installed between the top of the frame and the nut) allow the bolts to be longer than they would be without the spacers? Ok other words, the spacers come from the...

    205 transfer case brace

    I'm probably going to complicate things here, but it just so happens I recently had my crossmember out from my 1980 GMC K15. It's different than what @nvrenuf illustrates. I guess I can't guarantee the frame/crossmember is 1980 (even though the cab is 1980), but it is 1/2 ton. Here are some...

    Adapter between SM465 and NP205

    And finally, another question. See the spacers between the top surface of the crossmember and the frame? Is that correct? I'm pretty sure that's how it was when I took it apart, but of course I didn't take pictures and of course I don't remember for sure. Can anyone confirm if they have the same...

    Adapter between SM465 and NP205

    When I started this thread, I had a lot of questions regarding how SM465/NP205 are supported and bolter together, how the adapter between them works, how the mounts underneath the adapter are aligned, etc. Today I reinstalled the crossmember and adapter, then I bolted NP205 to that. Worked like...
