    Air Conditioning Delete

    There seems to be a ton of dust getting in my cab. I know the windows and doors could use new seals, but this is dust that is under the dash and even behind the plastic over the gauges. The truck has A/C but it's disconnected. I am wondering if there is dust getting in through the disconnected...

    Wanna slam that 63-98 C10/C1500? Lets talk about it!

    Shoot, thanks for the info. Looks like the 6.5s have the same backspace as the 8s. 7” wide has a 3.625 bs, so looks like you’re right. Back to looking at 20 inch wheels I guess… Sorry to hijack the thread @bluex!

    Wanna slam that 63-98 C10/C1500? Lets talk about it!

    79 C10, dropping 5/7. Looking at 15" rims (I did buy the tubular control arms based on your previous recommendations) - is 4.5" backspacing/0 offset on a 15x8 going to give me wheel clearance issues? As for tires, I am thinking 255/60s all around. ETA: read some more threads and other forums...

    Digital Gear Indicator

    I tore it down to replace a few things in the column and then reassembly was when this breakage occurred. I was just too rough on the 45 year old plastic. I might give it another shot if I get bored, but this digital indicator has peaked my interest. It is fine...for now. We all (should) know...

    Digital Gear Indicator

    Thanks, let me know if you get around to installing it. I’ve been thinking about going all digital for my gauges. I’m torn, though, because I do like the old gauges (even if they don’t work, haha).

    Digital Gear Indicator

    Anyone ever installed one of these? Either Jegs or Intellitronix, or any other brand? https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/41499/10002/-1 The plastic “bowl”/shroud on my steering column that the shift indicator wire clips into is broken where it snaps into the metal part of the steering column...

    transmission oil change

    Thanks. Delayed engagement is only when cold, otherwise, it is fine. I would bet it is the cloth filter. The previous owner(s) seemed cut a lot of corners on this truck, so I would be surprised if they changed to a better filter. Everything on NAPA is showing a rubber gasket, so I'll grab the...

    transmission oil change

    My TH350 doesn't like to get into gear and go when cold. I will check the fluid level when I get home this evening, but I don't know when it was last changed. If it's low and I just wanted to add some, would this be the NAPA equivalent of what you suggest...

    Need advice for doing Kilmat/Boomat/Dynomat

    Well I've been working to get ol' Waylon back on the road for about 9 months now, so I was eager to get it all back together and go for a cruise to test it out last night. I didn't get any pictures, but I do have new carpet coming, so I will get some when I tear it back out. I didn't do the...

    Need advice for doing Kilmat/Boomat/Dynomat

    Thanks everyone. I did the kilmat over the tunnel and floor, then the 2 in 1 over the entire cab floor . Probably overkill, but man, what a difference it made. I can’t say the double layering did more than a single layer, but I had the material and couldn’t return it, so I let ‘er rip. My...

    Nasty...don't bury my question...haha! Whichever brand, where would you recommend laying down a double layer?

    Need advice for doing Kilmat/Boomat/Dynomat

    @CalSgt @Grit dog (and anyone else) - I am planning to put some 100mil Kilmat down in select areas, then putting Siless 2 in 1 closed cell foam (200mil, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09LQQ4KSW/) over the entire floor pan and firewall. I am limiting Kilmat to select areas because I don't want to...

    Stupid dome light!

    Old thread but bumping because I’m appreciative of the knowledge on this forum! Drove myself crazy trying to track down a short blowing fuse after fuse while rewiring my dome light that appears to have been inoperable for years. Triple checked the wiring but kept blowing fuses when I tried to...

    *SOLD* Retrosound D-412 4x10 Dash Speaker

    Installed for about 6 months, works perfectly fine. I bought a bigger amp to power a sub and it would be too much for this speaker. Would be a great upgrade in replacing a stock speaker, or could be used with a small amp. More info here...

    STEERING COLUMN QUESTION

    Gotta love the internet. So, I found a part that may work, in large part thanks to @hatzie and his scans on the 73-87chevytrucks.com forums and gmwiki. Here is the part number I found: 7827077. I couldn't find that part anywhere, so I found a non-tilt shroud for 84-94 GM non-tilt columns...

    STEERING COLUMN QUESTION

    Resurrecting an old thread because I’m looking for this same part. How did this work out for you? I found the part number for tilt models (7836010, called a “shroud”), but can’t find the part number for non-tilt. If anyone can help with that part number that would be great, too.

    15x8 rally tire sizes

    That's great to read. I've got a 5/7 I'm waiting to put on my truck (now that I finally got done with rust repair) and have been toiling over whether to keep the stock rallys. I looked back through the thread but maybe I missed it - did you get aftermarket LCAs? The truck looks awesome. Quoting...

    80' K10 sound system

    You can certainly get above average audio quality for under $500. I bought this Bluetooth receiver from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HRG75NV/. I split the power from the original radio and placed the receiver in the glovebox, so the stock radio still shows the time but is not hooked up...

    1979 headlight bezels

    @bigcountry78 sorry for the delay, it only took me 3.5 weeks... I am still in rust remediation purgatory right now and pinching pennies to fund the necessary repairs. I might circle back with you but please don't hold them for me.
