    Rear blower resistor

    Does anyone know where to get the blower resistor for the rear ac? Lmc has it grayed out on their diagram and I can only find one place online that sells it for 71$ which seems ridiculous considering I spent 30$ on the front resistor

    Carb vacuum cap blowing off

    So a few months back I deleted every vacuum line out of the engine bay, and all that’s left is the brake booster, and vacuum advance. If your looking at the carb from the front (stock 83 q-jet) the top left vacuum port blows its cap off about once a month, and then it still runs good but it’ll...

She’s only 2 so there’s...

    Another electrical question

    I’m new to the square body scene so I don’t know what a lot about these trucks so I’ll probably be posting a lot.
