    Delco Radio Short

    I have the original delco radio in my 87 R10. It looks great and sounds great when it plays. I replaced the wire harness because the tabs looked worn out. So, I figured the connections were not snug. It didn’t fix the problem. Basically if I apply pressure on the side of the harness, pushing it...

    Rust Options

    Awesome! Thank you midnight! I am very pleased with how the sheet metal looks on this truck. It's remarkable. The stuff I applied thus far was super easy to apply and seems to be of high quality.

    Rust Options

    Hi everyone! I am doing some slight rust work and was wondering. I applied the product in the link below so is POR15 redundant? https://a.co/d/4UskXMi

    Vent window adjustment?

    It is the L shaped frame. The first three inches or so at the bottom is nice and easy. The rest just feels like a machine needs to do it. Seems like the rib inside the seal is a MM too thick. Says the attachment is too large when I try a picture.

    Vent window adjustment?

    I am trying to get the vent window seal on the L shaped frame. Any tricks on getting it on without having cardiac arrest, fatally stabbing myself with a tool, slicing my hand open or ruining the strip trying to get it in the channel? I am one frustrating hour into the passenger side. I try lube...

    Shake, rattle and roll!

    Also, the shake does sometimes feel like a knot on my tire but can’t find one. And great tread.

    Shake, rattle and roll!

    Lol. What is messing with my mind is why it isn’t consistent. BTW, I put a new imported EGR in like two months ago and the code is back. Never ends.

    Shake, rattle and roll!

    Hi guys! 1987 R10 with 305. I experience two distinct types of shaking and both are intermittent. Shake 1: the truck seems to hate 35-45 mph. It sometimes shakes while accelerating and cruising and shakes similarly but more violently when braking down through those speeds. 2 out of 10 times...

    Brake shoe placement?

    A guy helped me out. Had to grind down the bar that fits between the shoes, that is under the wheel cylinder.

    Brake shoe placement?

    It's all back together. The adjuster is all the way down and I even opened the bleeder screw to get the pins in the wheel cylinder pushed in further. Is there another tip for getting the drum back on besides beating the ever loving **** out of the old one with a hammer in frustration?

    Brake shoe placement?

    Hey there. I was planning on bleeding both sides and replacing the fluid in the master cylinder a little at a time until it runs clean.

    Brake shoe placement?

    I think I am good now and thank you for the replies! The picture gave me that extra confidence. It is a lot sturdier now that it is all together. Now I am just struggling to get the drum over all of it. Also, there is a little brass cup that goes in the hole on the left, under the yellow...

    Brake shoe placement?

    What's up square body friends? So, I have been enjoying myself doing my first drum brake job on my 87 R10. I have found amazing videos on Youtube and I'm about 90% there but that 10% is driving me nuts. A few things eating at me..... 1) Do the shoes sit deep in the lip of the backing plate...

    Rear Brake Options 87

    I have a 1987 R10 Silverado. Have been agonizing over my rear brake options. Option 1: purist approach and install new drum brakes. Option 2: disc brake conversion with the kit requiring axel removal. Option 3: bolt on disc brake conversion that doesn’t require axel removal. I will likely...

    Fuel Selector Switch Issue

    All good there. I pulled all of them from the panel down below the steering wheel.

    Fuel Selector Switch Issue

    Hi all, I was replacing my fuel tank selector switch today in my 1987 R10. I was prying the plug from the back of the switch with a screwdriver. Problem is I was lazy and didn't disconnect the negative battery cable. There was a small zap when the screwdriver touched the contact and the truck...

    AC wooshing and smoking

    Hi everyone! I replaced my throttle body today and was trying to troubleshoot high idle. I had my AC on high and started to hear a wooshing sound and then white smoke came out of the engine compartment and the vents inside the cab. Is it just out of refrigerant?

    Belt Hell

    Thanks Big Ray! Didn't take it off. Just loosened the two bolts in the tensioning brackets. Somewhere along the way it pulled forward. Eventually, after a lot of sweat equity, I got it done. Now, of course, my squeal has stopped but it's apparent that the AC compressor clutch is bad. LOL #moneypit

    Belt Hell

    Hi all! I used up every ounce of energy this afternoon wrestling with my friggin belts. 1987 Chevy R10. Three belts. AC truck and power steering. Got them all in place. Alternator belt is good to go. Power steering pretty good too. Any tricks on how to get my AC compressor lined back up with the...

    R10 Fan

    Hi I have a 1987 Silverado R10 with AC. I cannot find a radiator fan to save my life. Will fans from any other models work just the same?
