    Gauges Paint

    I cleaned mine, everything was fine nothing came off. I reassembled it and put it back in the truck. After a few days, some markers were gone.

    Gauges Paint

    Has anyone repainted indicator marks on their OEM gauges? I cleaned mine recently and all was fine. Not sure if the heat has anything to do with it, but some white marks and orangish warning zones have disappeared. Does anyone know of a OEM color/paint match?

    K10 Air Conditioning Condensation Leak to Interior

    so there is no special pipe or fitting, it’s just a hole? There is water coming out but it’s running back to the firewall (out the drain). I’ll pick it out again, maybe something is letting it come out and build up.

    K10 Air Conditioning Condensation Leak to Interior

    I’ve seen quite a few posts but haven’t seen this particular line of questioning. What actually causes the condensation from the evaporator housing to run back into the interior? I can see water flowing out of the housing and down into another hole. Is there supposed to be a pipe or hose that...

    A/C Drain

    I realize the date In this post but I have a question. Is there a hose/tube that comes off the evap housing? Something that would keep the condensation from traveling back into the cab from outside the evap housing? Say a tube from the bottom the housing keeps fluid flowing/draining down...

    Interior lights issue.

    Understand this post is months old but I have a question. It’s been years since I messed with the dome light. Does the dimmer switch (twisted all the way over to the right) cut off the dome light if the doors are open?

    Rim Size for Aftermarket Brakes

    I have a K10 in need of a new brake caliper. There appears to be discussion on minimum rim size for certain calipers. I have been looking at Wilwood replacements. Will these replacement calipers fit on Dick Cepek 15” rims or cast 15” rims?

    GM 10 Bolt Front Axle Yoke Thread Size and Pitch

    I am replacing my steering knuckles and have ran into a problem. The knuckles I purchased came with the ball joint adjustment ring, which I’m replacing. Turned out to be one of “those” jobs, you know the 30 min broken bolt job that turns into 3 days. Turns out the passenger side gave me with...

    Crossover Steering Box

    After doing a fair amount of looking, reading reviews, and comparing prices, I went with the new Lares from RockAuto. Honestly, $350 ($401.25 tax & shipping) for “new”. Paid $425 total with some extra items, shipping, and no core charge. Bluetop, Redhead, AGR, and Borgeson are in a category...

    Crossover Steering Box

    What’s the best box for the job? I’ve been researching the site and external sources before posting but can’t find what I’m looking for. My current steering situation it’s past its prime and I am upgrading to crossover/high steer. I know that I will need a 2WD box. I have been looking at PSC...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Where to start? Replaced both tanks, cleaned the lines, rebuilt the carb, fixed a fusible link, troubleshooted the electrical system, cleaned the fuel pump, fused the lines again, resealed the AC compressor, fixed a couple tires, rebuilt the front end, sprayed the underbody with paint, installed...

    Need a inline fuel pump for Carbed 350, what brand/ part?

    I’m running a Holley Red on mine

    What new tools have you got lately?

    M18 1/2” impact M12 3/8” impact AC clutch tools (which I had to modify to meet my expectations). The clutch plate puller (for old style pancake) is a horrible design, I broke two, compared to the newer metric R4. Modified the old to accept the newer push screw.

    HF plastic welding kit

    Make sure you drill the end of that split so the crack doesn’t propagate.

    Best Door Hinge Lubricant

    I use Kano Kroil Oil the graphite based spray. It’s called penephite. Best hands down. Had it on the farm and use it on 40+year old equipment. Never lets me down. Little expensive compared to the others but a little goes a LONG way. If I don’t have that I use Deep Creep. Been using deep creep...

    Dual Tanks with electric fuel pump

    I have an 86 K10 with factory dual tanks. It’s been sitting for a while and I’m trying to get it back running. I have a Holley Red regulated at 6psig going to an Edelbrock 1406. In the future, I will be rerouting my pump to get closer to tank level but mine is mounted to the fender well. I’ve...

    Fuel line Options

    Thank y’all. This is what I ended up doing. Went to NAPA and got a 2 micron fuel filter, one that will match up with my duramax (because I have extra filters) which has a CAT 1R-0750 filter, and a base to accept. I put it between the hard line and the pump (with a clear inline filter between)...

    Fuel line Options

    What options are there to remove the trash from the lines without hard line replacement? Now for the back story. I had bad fuel in my tanks after sitting for years. The tanks/sending units have been replaced and the carb was cleaned. When I went to start it, it would fire and shut down...

    Electrical Issue No Power When Keyed On

    I found some fusible link wire at LS wiring. I couldn’t confirm before ordering so I got 10-18 gauge wiring. The wire I posted (earlier in the thread) was the culprit and is a 16 gauge fusible link. Its fixed and all power has been restored to the dash, tank selector switch, ignition switch...

    Electrical Issue No Power When Keyed On

    This is what I found. I checked all voltage from the starter, the alternator, the terminal block, and double checked the hot terminals on the ignition switch. I have voltage to all but the ignition switch. I rang out the wire from the terminal block to the ignition switch (the burnt one that I...

    Electrical Issue No Power When Keyed On

    Yeah sorry about that, this is my first encounter with fusible links. I’ve been researching them and a lot of other posts on this forum. Not sure what that disconnected wire with that “fancy” connector is but I’ll figure it out. Thank you for the pictures and the information. I found the ’86...

    Electrical Issue No Power When Keyed On

    I have a meter. I may have put that in wire loom years ago to “enhance looks.” I believe that was the only wire in the loom. Is that typically what they look like?
