    Ruh roh Raggy! I hear you knocking…

    Ugh. This hurts. So I bought my C10 2 years ago. She had spent 15-20 years sitting in a neighbor’s backyard, slowly sinking into the dirt. The engine rotated over by hand with good compression, so when I bought her, I pulled the plugs and filled the cylinders with a mix of ATF and MMO, then I...

    Paint name & code

    Does anyone know what colors these are? The darker one I have seen called Hawaiian Blue and Medium Blue. I believe the lighter color is simply Light Blue.

    Which clutch!?

    Hello all, it's been a while. I need help figuring out which clutch and flywheel I need for my truck. I don't have it out, and I don't want to play the return/exchange game. I'm letting a shop do the clutch job because I've only ever done a clutch once, it was nearly 20 years ago, it was on an...

    I’m so smart

    Hey. So dum-dum here started a brake job in MARCH, and due to needing to order more parts, a very busy second half of a semester after spring break, and an excruciatingly hot summer, I’m only just now getting back to it. I left everything organized, but I’m second guessing myself and how all...

    Dual tank question

    Hey all. So, I’m just curious and thought I’d spitball this here. My Big 10 has dual 16 gallon tanks and also has the factory selector switch which still works, if you can believe that. However, I’m well aware that that is a thing that will probably not last long. I don’t really want to screw...

    Clutch safety switch delete

    Hi. Stupid question, but it should be a quick answer. My clutch switch (the one that prevents you from starting the truck unless you step on the clutch) is ancient and the plastic has disintegrated. I am NOT installing a new one. I assume, since this is a two wire switch, I can just snip these...

    Rear slider channels?

    Hey, all. I have the factory rear sliding window in my 78, and the plastic channels the sliding glass sits in have disintegrated. Are there replacement kits for the channels, or is this an all new window? If it’s a new window, does anyone know of a reasonably priced replacement slider, because...

    12 bolt help

    Good evening all. I’m in the middle of reassembling my axle after replacing the bearings. My passenger side shaft went in just fine, but my driver side has gotten hung up somehow halfway into the side gear splines. I cannot get the shaft to pull out, nor can I get it to go completely in. Has...

    Need help with 465 clutch adjustment

    With the clutch all the way to the floor and the adjuster rod on the fork nearly all the way out, the trans scratches 1st (low?) and reverse. Nothing I do seems to fix it. There seems to be plenty of spring tension on the fork, and it doesn’t have much play. What am I doing wrong? The shop...

    The Big 10 Revival

    Hey all! I thought, as I start working on this truck, I'd post something of a mini-blog about the project, take you all on the adventure. And an adventure this will be, as I have owned exactly five American cars, this is only my second Chevy, and its my first truck. I've worked on none of my...

    Help!

    Y'all... My little girl barely touched the latch on my rear sliding glass, and it disintegrated in her hand. 40+-year-old plastic... Can anyone tell me where I can find a replacement latch? Google has failed me. I see latches for the GMT400 trucks, but nothing older. I really don't want to drive...

    Will it fit?

    Hey all. My Big Ten has a case of the gunky wheel, and I’m not sure I want to try to clean it. I was looking at the reproduction wheels (I’m one of the weirdos that like the wider wheel with the thinner grip) when I saw the wheel for the Action Line trucks came in the same shade of blue as the...

    Z-bar return springs on a C-10 with the SM465

    Hey all. I have a 78 I'm reviving, and one thing I need (it's actually one of the reasons it got parked 14 years ago) is the long spring that goes from the clutch fork to what appears to be the z-bar (mine is broken, so I'm not sure). I can get that one from here...

    Howdy!

    Hey y'all! I'm Mike, from the Texas side of the Texarkana area. I've just bought a survivor of a 1978 Big Ten with the 350 4 bolt main and the Muncie 4 speed. This is my first Squarebody and my first pickup, and I'm excited to get to work of it (ask my wife... I think she's sick of hearing about...
