    I'm willing to pay good money for a NOS front bumper (w/o black molding) and passenger side front fender. Even a lead would be nice. Thanks guys, Randy

    I can't believe I wrecked it......

    This truck is by far the nicest vehicle I have ever owned. Yesterday I wrecked it, and I'd have to say it's my fault. Luckily my 3 yr. old grandson, the other driver, and myself are fine. It will cost me a front bumper and a fender. Can someone recommend a vendor where I can get NOS parts...

    Reading ALDL Connector Codes

    I found the section of my Emissions & Drivability Manual that speaks to the ALDL connector, how to enter the diagnostic mode, and see codes. It also has a page the describes what each code is for. What I don't see is any guidance on how to interpret the "check engine soon light show" that...

    TBI in Shop Manual??

    So I believe the motor in my '87 is idling on the fast side and wanted to look in my shop manual to see what I could learn about settings, adjustments, etc. Heck, I don't even know if there are any you can make. Anyway, I pull out my newly acquired shop manual and I can't find any info on...

    87 Service Manual Question

    When I had my '84 stepside, I was thrilled to use the wiring diagrams in my shop manual to fix the problem I had with my TCC lock up function. It ended up being a problem with the brake pedal switch. So my '87 K20 happens to have the same issue, the TCC doesn't function. But I pull out my...

    Anyone Paint Their Rims Black?

    Looking for a picture of the standard white wheels with the dog dish hubcap (like on my '87C20), only with the rim painted black. I think that would look hot on a gray/black pickup, but would like to see it first. Those white wheels just don't seem to make sense to me. Thanks, Stepperado

    305/70-16's on stock K20?

    Will BF Goodrich 305/70-16's fit on a dead stock K20 4wd? I know they are only about 1" larger in diameter. Not sure how much wider. My concern would be rubbing in the front. Anybody try them?

    Swapping TH400 to 700R4

    I am at a complete loss. I thought since our trucks came with both the TH400 and the 700R4 transmissions swapping from one to the other would be no big deal. Well, to make a long story short, I have been told by the good folks at Advance Adapters I need an adapter to the tune of $500 to...

    Swapping Rear Solid Glass for Sliding Glass

    Before I sell my '84 C10, I'd like to swap the rear sliding window in it with the solid one piece glass in the '87 C20 I just bought. The local glass shop said they would do the swap at my house for $110. Are there any issues with this that might come up to complicate things? The window...

    General 4wd FAQ Thread?

    Just looking into the 4wd world and there is too much I don't know about these beasts. It's like your posts are in greek. Is there anywhere on this site that explains the differences in the various front/rear differentials, transmissions, locking vs. auto locking hubs etc. ? What about...

    4wd C20, 4.11 to 3.42?

    I know almost nothing about transfer cases or 4wd trucks. Never had one or worked on one. With that said, I have an opportunity to possibly pick up a 4wd C20 camper special with a 4.11 drive. I can only justify buying it if I can afford to drive it, so I have a question. Will the carrier...

    May have a huge cherry on the way!

    One of the managers at worked noticed my truck in the parking lot today and said his dad has a similar one he is thinking about selling. It's an '87, 4wd, 3/4 ton, 350, long bed, camper special that he's had since new. It's always been indoors, has about 50k miles on it and according to...

    Craigslist…...

    So I take a 2 hr round trip in rush hour traffic to see what may be a great deal on an 86 short bed that was posted only hours before I called. I was to be the first one there. Ad was for $2900 or best offer. Sure enough, it is a one family owner, completely rust free v8 short bed truck...

    '84 Quadrajet Bowl Venting

    Long story short............. If I undo the metal fuel line leading to my carb and depress the little check valve built into the fuel filter, fuel shoots out like it's coming from a Super Soaker. Now I fully expected fuel to dribble out, but it shot out like there was pressure in the...

    Vacuum Switch on Water Neck

    My particular truck is an 84 with a 305/auto, but I know a lot of our trucks had these. In any event, can anyone shed light on the inner workings of this switch? It's pretty obvious the water temp is controlling a few functions here, but I'd love to know what it's controlling and how...

    Removing Glovebox Latch Assy.

    OK, I give up......... How do you remove the locking latch assembly from the glovebox door? Is it a similar process to removing an ignition swich? My latch is loose and it also spins freely on the glovebox door when it's open. Thought I'd take it apart and see what was going on...

    1984 Hood Ornaments

    Why do some '84 Silverado's have hood ornaments and others don't? Is it because some have had the hoods replaced? Seems to be low mile examples on Ebay of both. Thanks, Stepperado

    Body Lean..and I don't mean skinny

    This has probably been beat to death, but what is the most common cause of our trucks not sitting level from right to left? Looking at the back of my truck, the driver side is almost an inch lower than the passenger side. I thought for sure it was due to the 30 year old leaf springs and I was...

    Were Wooden Beds Painted at Factory?

    I am getting conflicting information on this question. I can tell you my clean low mileage '84 had the bed painted, including the wood, metal strips, bolts, etc. I was told it came like this from the factory. However, I'm told by some "car show guys" that the beds were not painted like...

    Build Sheet Location?

    Where did most of you guys find your build sheets. I've always found them in cars up under the seat stuffed in the springs. No luck looking there on my '84Silverado. Thanks, Stepperado
