    Speedometer key broken?

    Hi all, I have a 76 K10 with full time 4wd automatic transmission. It looks like just my speedometer key broke but I can't get the broken bit out. My question is: If I remove the speedo gear box, will I be able to push the key out from the other side?

    Heater not very hot

    Hi all, Merry Christmas! I have a 76 K10 Scottsdale with no A/C and my heat never gets very hot. It gets warm at best. I replaced the thermostat and that didn't make any difference. I might try and bleed the system just in case there's an air bubble but I'd appreciate any advice on other...

    76 K10 rear main seal

    Hi all, I apologize if this has been covered but I wanted advise on my specific year just to be sure. I have a 76 K10 Scottsdale and the PO of my truck told me the rear main seal was leaking and based on what I've read I believe that's correct. My question is, how big of a job is it to replace...

    No turn signals but hazards work

    Hello all, I just replaced my turn signal switch and got the steering column all back together but now the turn signals don't work. The hazards work just fine and the switch clicks to the left and the right as expected but still no signals. Any ideas for me to check?

    Oil pan removal

    Hello all, I know this has been discussed but I haven't gotten a definitive answer on my year. I need to know if I need to raise the engine in order to remove the oil pan from my 1976 K10 Scottsdale.

    Loose motor mounts? Please help

    Hello all, Lately, my 76 K10 has been "klunking" when shifting from reverse to forward or vise versa. It also will occasionally rumble and shake after I turn the truck off.

    Differential skid plates

    Hello! Recently I've found myself on some precarious roads that have made me want to get skid plates for my front and rear diffs. I have a 76 K10 Scottsdale, the front axel is what I believe to be a dana44 and the rear is a 12 bolt. As far as I know both are original to the truck. My first...

    Hello all, The speedometer in my 76 Scottsdale K10 has never worked correctly even after replacing the cable but the odometer was always accurate. Recently the odometer quit working and the speedometer (which used to just bounce around) doesn't move at all. Am I correct in assuming there's...

    New wiring harness difficulty

    Hello friends, I have a 76 Scottsdale K10 that I bought from someone locally and have been trying to fix up. I have no experience working on vehicles so I'm learning as I go.

    Truck won't turnover sometimes

    I have a 1976 Scottsdale 4x4 that usually runs great but sometimes I go to start it and it turns over once and then nothing happens. I've been able to get it going by disconnecting the ground and sparking it on the positive to short the starter (advice from someone I know) but that doesn't...

    Need help - Brakes still spongy

    Hello! I recently got this 1976 Chevy Scottsdale and the brakes were really spongy. I replaced the brake booster and master cylinder and then bled the brakes but when I was done the brakes were still spongy. The vacuum hose going to the booster has good suction so I don't think that's the...
