    Looking to swap in a 6.2 into my c10

    Yeah those 6.2's are great on mileage. Yesterday I took my truck out on the highway and holy crap, She has power now. Just that timing change changed everything. Start better, runs better, has better power and throttle response. Now I am second guessing myself again lol. I've been doing that way...

    manual trans I have found.

    I'd like a 4 speed manual. Love to have a 5 speed manual but don't know how well that would fit in my truck. I would have to take the bench seat out, which I am planing on putting in bucket seats anyways. Now that I bring that up, would I have to modify my cross member to get a 5-6 speed in my...

    Looking to swap in a 6.2 into my c10

    I'm going to add on to this. I am thinking of building this truck so I can withstand some stuff. Pretty much a home made tank lol. First off that 305 won't last long. I need something that will be strong enough to pull heavy loads but not so massive and hard to work on when it breaks down. Turbo...

    Looking to swap in a 6.2 into my c10

    Yeah I know that lol. I am sure I could get a 6.2 in and running in nothing flat but my garage is freaking small lol. I would have to put my 305 somewhere and get the 6.2 in and running so I could move the truck cause that bitch is freaking heavy. Those little imports are easy to push by...

    manual trans I have found.

    I have found two replacement transmissions. I don't much about these trucks so what trans would drop in with least work. Napa has a Sm465 and a NP833. This truck is a 2wd truck. Has a 700R4 in it now. I want to know what trans I should look for. I am going with the Z bar set up. I know the...

    New from Nebraska

    Lol that's funny. I know a lot of chicks from cali and well I'll be honest they are freaking weird. At least there's no emissions here lol. Anyways, I love seeing others from Nebraska. You definitely know where people are from when they are wearing a heavy coat and gloves when it's only 60...

    Air bag suspension.

    That's what I thought. Still going to lower her though. I am shooting for a classic look but with modern twists. Nice and clean. Pretty much a sweet cruiser/daily. Leave the high performance stuff for later in the build.

    Air bag suspension.

    Okay before I have said I am thinking of doing a static drop but now that I have a job finally lol, I am leaning more towards a full air ride suspension. I have worked with air ride suspensions on Semis. What I am wondering the most about having this kind of suspension is will my long tube...

    Looking to swap in a 6.2 into my c10

    My truck has an after market oil gauge. Go's to like 100 psi I think. Anyways I am thinking of either getting a new truck that is a diesel or swap diesel in. I am thinking just getting a diesel truck would be best. Now that I have gotten all of the gremlins worked out of my truck. Was debating...

Anyways I reset the timing and wow she really purs now and starts like a freaking dream. Smooth idle and has power. Also replace the TV cable seal and the trans stopped leaking. That...

    Stupid dome light!

    Okay y'all this is really ticking me off. Since I owned this truck the dome light has never worked. I put a bulb in it and it used to blow fuses but now it doesn't. I replaced the wiring pretty much. I tested the new harness out and it didn't light up at all. Never knew getting a damn light bulb...

    Edelbrock questions

    I'll have to do that. I have a new problem now. Well I've had it since I owned the truck. I'll post it in electrical section. I might just do that today if I feel like it. Oh yeah before I forget I noticed that when I run my truck I see water droplets coming out the exhaust. I noticed it more...

    Edelbrock questions

    lol thanks guys. I have it timed at 4 degrees. I tried 10 and she don't run right. I haven't replaced the dis cap in awhile and the pump probably does need replaced since it's the factory one lol. Yeah I haven't updated it either lol. I have to recheck my stuff again to be sure I didn't mess...

    Edelbrock questions

    To start off I have a 305 with a 600CFM Edelbrock carb. I notice that I smell gas badly. The filters all have been changed out. See no leaks. She does have her issues of hard starts. I have linked it to being too big off a carb for it. I've looked up if I have the right carb and what I have been...

    DIS Set up

    You do know they make a plug for it right? I know the cam needs to drive the oil pump and that plug has that. They use it for the front drive dizzys in racing. It was all a thought though. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/maa-29003/overview/ Thanks for the other information though. I might just...

    DIS Set up

    I've been thinking about updating my ignition system to a new set up. I am thinking of doing a DIS set up. I can plug the hole for the distributor and get a pick up from MSD to fire the coils. I was just wondering what y'all think about a set up like that. I do play to Fuel inject my truck too...

    Lowering?

    Yeah I have to remind myself it's a truck lol. Once I get it lowered I will decide what I like best. I would love to lay frame but big rims really kill performance. Yeah 24's look sweet but eh I don't know. Like I said once I get the money for it I will decide from there. If I want to get really...

    Lowering?

    So I've been thinking about what to do next with my truck. I want to lower it as low as I can. I will be running 18" rims. I am going for a performance look and feel. It has to handle amazing. Right now it's okay. I do feel the back traveling in its own direction and that's going to happen with...

    Looking to swap in a 6.2 into my c10

    For awhile I have been thinking of swapping in a 6.2 diesel into my truck. Right now it has a 305 in it with a 700R4 transmission. 2wd 1/2 ton. What would I have to do to get it in and would the fame handle it? I've been told that a 6.2 is about 800 lbs. I do know that I would need a diesel tank...

    The mean 700r4

    Alright I've had this truck for 5 years going on 6 and since I have owned it it has leaked. I just replaced the gasket and filter in the trans. It didn't leak til today. It got really cold last night and I think the gasket shrunk enough to let fluid piss out. I am thinking the pan is junk. I...

    Sound Deadening in Cab

    I'm gonna go with Classicparts.com sound deadner kit. It looks like it does most of the cab. If I need more I can get the mats too. I want it dead quite inside. Right now my Kenwood head unit is set on 15 which is pretty loud for it. I can hear it but the drone from the exhaust and the road...

    Fix Slamming Doors - Striker Door Latch Repair

    classicparts.com has the replacement bushing for the striker. 99 cents. I rather have the proper part instead of rigging it up. Plus it's built for it. Piping isn't. But this is a good fix for when it does break and you can't replace it right away.
