    1976 K10 Fuel Filler

    From what I researched when I did my 84 the bedsides are the same just need to order one with the door. The door came on my new bedside. I will tell you that every right hand aftermarket were not made like the originals. The left ones are decent with a few minor adjustments. I bought 2 and ended...

    Window Needs Glued

    I took mine out and to my local auto glass shop. That glass is held in by a piece of rubber and I think slightly crimped they charged me $20 to do them both. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looks good. You can buy a new replacement but they are thinner gauge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Front Bed Panel Removal

    I just built one of these beds. You will have to take most of the bolts out of one side. The bed is welded in the back. You will have to remove the seem sealer. Mine came apart fairly easy. It's just a lot of bolts. Has to spread about one inch on one side. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Dad has cancer-help me fix his AC please

    I feel your pain. My dad passed away about 2 years ago. I have the first pickup he ever bought new. I was restoring it when he died. I was hoping to get done with it before he passed but I didn't make it. I think he rides with me now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    steering column repaired, NOW more problems

    If I remember right it will be related to that "ignition switch actuator rack." Something in there was a @&$*^. Sorry I can't remember the details. That spring I think. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Suspension

    A short bed truck that is lifted will not ride good. You can get them okay but it takes coil overs and a 4 link if you want it nice. Not a cheap undertaking. Those rear springs in the picture appear aftermarket as well. Wrong taper on the end of the spring leaves. Shocks made as a stock...

    Suspension

    If you want to set up a suspension you first need to know what your goals are? Front springs not stock they came originally with a 2 or 3 leaf tapered spring for improved ride. I always run the 2 leaf on a stock truck. Prefer Dayton or Triangle for quality. I never used "Deaver." I always made...

    Installing a new Stereo

    If you don't want to trim anything you have to stick with the 2 knob style. If you want to go with a single bin you can get a kit to convert it but you have to trim it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Air ride shocks

    I've never been a fan of air shocks. A lot of load can be put on the mounts. They ride bad. A good gas shock is all you need. Keep the air bags. Separate the two so you can adjust each side individually. I used to put them through the top two license plate holes. Handy and they really help with...

    Where to get pieces to put my 76 Ac back

    As long as you have the cover that bolts to the firewall and everything under the dash. You can get about everything else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Need help with fuel issue

    If there's no fuel probably a vent. What type of smoke? Black white blue? I would go to a manual fuel pump before I went to the old setup. Might as well fix it. Overheating generally means lean. Not enough volume. I'm assuming this was an inline pump? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    who makes the best body panels

    You can find a fairly decent aftermarket drivers side panel, floor, tailgate, header panel and wheel wells. It's the passenger bedside you cannot find that's worth a crap. These are the best parts but they don't have everything. http://www.autometaldirect.com/body-components-c-23.html Sent...

    86 C10 stepside fender front brace mounting

    At the front of the wheel well you see a hole on the bottom. That's where 1 end goes. The other goes up to the ledge in front of the tire. There is 2 holes it goes to the inside hole. Can take a picture of mine if that's not explanation enough. It braces the bottom of the rear of the front...
