    Looking for wiper arm options for 1982 K10

    These did not work for my '79 Sierra Classic. They are too constrained under the hood, do not lift for cleaning and do not apply sufficient down-pressure such that the blades simply do not wipe. Time for plan C or give up on hooked arms? Does anybody else have a suggestion?

    Flip up wipers arms?

    This did not work for me. I'll go bend the arm I guess.

    Flip up wipers arms?

    I saw this and got some 42631s and paired them with Trico 25-180 (18") but the wiper arms don't have enough oomph to hold the blade flat.

    What's It Worth?

    I never considered it an investment. If somebody doesn't get it from me I'll keep spending. Always something. Cruise control. Power down hydraulic cylinder.

    We're open. Just waiting for the bar finish to cure. Come and get it! ;-)

    What's It Worth?

    Maybe the lift bed wasn't worth the investment. The crated turnkey high-output 350 was nice but I had to add the Holley Sniper EFI. Just recently I swapped in a 750R4 and now it's 2200 rpm at 75. Perfect interior. Doesking white leather bench. Flawless dash. This is a '79 Sierra Classic...

    Transmission Swap Mishaps

    I'm just a mile east of downtown Walla Walla, near Wildwood Park.

    Transmission Swap Mishaps

    So there's no way that the unsynchronized 205 with auto-hubs kajanked the differential? (I wonder what did it)

    Transmission Swap Mishaps

    It is entirely likely that the '89 with the 350/205 does not have a synchronizer. For me, this is not a blame game. But I don't ant to repair the diff and repeat the breakdown. Thanks!

    Transmission Swap Mishaps

    I believe the 205 is always spinning, while the 208 is not. No?

    Transmission Swap Mishaps

    The '79 has manual hubs and you're right, the 208 doesn't care. But the '89 now with the 205 has auto-hubs, and that's the rig that lost a tooth.

    Transmission Swap Mishaps

    That sounds right. Yes, we did need to adapt the NP208 to fit with the cross member. The 205 went into the '89.

    Transmission Swap Mishaps

    I bought an '89 4WD Suburban for its 700R4 transmission and swapped it into my '79 Sierra Classic, pictured here. There have been a number of challenges but that side of the transaction seems to have gone okay and the PU is like a new rig. On the other hand, the 350 going into the Suburban is a...

    What do I call it?

    Fully informed, the insurance company calls it a K10... half-ton 4WD. The VIN in 1979 is too short and doesn't fit the lookups, so I guess it's whatever you want it to be. My real question was: How to I describe it to y'all? I just installed a 700R4 transmission and NP208 to replace the TH350...

    What do I call it?

    How should I specify my truck? I have a 1979 GMC half-ton, 2WD Sierra Classic body mounted on a 1983 4WD 3/4-ton chassis. (To make it worse it has Chevy badges, but no matter.) (I have a new 350 HO crated turnkey and recently purchased an '89 Suburban 4WD and am swapping my TH350 and 205 for...

    TH350 to 700R4 Swap

    Is this for a 4WD? I'd for sure forget and rip the gears up...

    Cruise Control

    I have a new turnkey 350 that I pulled the Edelbrock carb off and installed the Sniper EFI. This 1979 Sierra Classic has the cruise button in the end of the turn signal stem. There is a chip of sorts in the glove box box with a label on the envelope that says "cruise control." I contacted Holley...

    700R4 Swap

    I appreciate this conversation. Not sure of the outcome. Regardless, if I do want to swap the shift indicator, is it a hassle?

    700R4 Swap

    I have a 79 sierra classic 1/2 T body on an 83 3/4 T chassis. I recently purchased an 89 Chevy Suburban 4WD with a failing 700R4 transmission. I will put my rebuilt TH350 into the Suburban. My question pertains to the shift linkage. Do I need to swap out the entire steering column? Is there an...

    Everything but the switch

    ...we just went with a stock replacement switch The switching valve has a 6-pin connector and 6 wires. I'm lost. I'd love to see what you did for linkage bracket. I have a little circuit board insert in a plastic bag in the glovebox labeled "cruise control." Do you have this piece? Want a photo?
