    need some help to finding the correct gaskets for my np205 swap

    Hey guys, I got some questions. I'm swapping over to an NP 205 this weekend, and I tried looking up the gaskets for the rear driveshaft to transfer case, the big flat gasket between the NP205 and "center support" (it mates and supports the tcase and trans on the crossmember), the 2 lip seals in...

    Looking to rebuild a TH350 and add lockup

    Okay, So I read the stickies and I've been trying to look into rebuild kits and the parts needed to convert my TH350 to a TH350C. What rebuild kit should I use? I want something that'll easily handle 350-400whp, and I'd probably tow with it down the road. I also want to convert it to a lockup...

    Having a hard time deciding between TH350C and 700R4

    So I lost 3rd gear in my TH350 two days ago. I've been planning to rebuild a spare TH350 I have with a nice rebuild kit and converting it to a lockup style. I feel in terms of strength and moderate fuel economy, this would be well rounded with 3.42 gears and 33inch tires. However, my buddy...

    ISO black 3 point seat belts + middle lap bet, LS 4x4 swap stuff.

    I changed the color of my interior, and now I need the 3 way driver and passenger seat belts, and the middle lap belt. Preferably the best condition possible since most of my interior is new or redone. I'm also planning an LS swap. Engine mounts, harness, fbody or vette exhaust manifolds, maybe...

    14ff/8 lug setup vs. 12 bolt 6 lug setup

    Hey guys, So I'm at a crossroads in my build. I have a 79k10 with a th350/203, 12bolt rear and corporate 10 bolt up front. I've been thinking about doing lockers front and rear, doing a manual locking hub conversion up front, and doing a c clip eliminator kit and disc brake conversion with a...

    What grit is good for sand/media blasting frame?

    Hello, I'm about to finally do my cab swap, and while I'm there I'll be cleaning up the frame. What grit and type of media or sand would be good to clean my frame? It's mostly surface and light rust, nothing too funky looking. Thanks!

    Running speaker wire to the rear single cab speakers

    Hello ya'll, I'll be doing a cab swap soon, and when I put the new cab on I'll be installing sound deadener and rubber matting. While I'm there I'd like to run new speaker wire to the speakers(that I'll be installing later). My question is, what kind of wiring should I use? I have no problem...

    I need ideas on where to get a rubber mat for the whole cab floor.

    Instead of carpet, I wish to get rubber matting for the whole floor of my automatic 79 K10. I notice LMC has what I'm looking for, I'm just curious if I can get better quality or maybe get it cheaper somewhere else. Thanks!

    Sound deadening information and research threads

    I've been doing quite a bit of reading into sound deadening, and I'm still in the process of researching it. I figure I'd share what I found so far with others and maybe get some more feedback and help others with it. Some of these links are a couple years old so it may be old news to some, but...

    Going from Quadrajet to Edelbrock 600cfm

    Hey guys, I'm looking to swap carbs. The QJ that came with the truck is beat and it doesn't work right, the previous owner hacked it up. It has a manual choke conversion which doesn't work right, the electric choke was gutted and removed. Also my secondaries don't work right, they don't open...

    My pitman arm has a lot of wear where the tie rod goes in....

    And even with a brand new Moog and AC delco TR, the threads are past the pitman arm hole and the nut bottoms out and the TR wobbles up and down about a 1/4 of an inch. I tried looking for a stock style replacement, but all I find are the modified ones for lifted trucks. I don't plan on lifting...

    I'm about to replace the entire braking system....

    And I'm curious if the 3/4-1 ton trucks have any heavier duty calipers/drums that would be a nice swap on my truck(I have 15 inch rims, so if the "bigger" trucks brakes won't fit I'm okay with that) I don't plan on towing much, and the biggest tires it's going to see for a while are 33's, so I'm...

    Noob question about rim/tire fitment on stock lift

    Hello everyone, I have a painfully obvious noob question. I'd like to rock 33x12.50R15 tires on the stock lift for my 1979 K10. I'm not afraid to trim/massage my wheel wells to make them fit if need be, but I'd like the tires to stick in as close to stock BS as possible. I was looking at the...

    Hello from Connecticut!

    I wanted to join this forum because I've been looking for a nice 73-79 K series for quite some time. Most of the ones around here are rot boxes or C series trucks. I've been doing a lot of research on these trucks, and I hope to find one I like and buy it so I can have a reliable back up/winter...
