    Disney Oklahoma -- anyone ever been?

    I'm going to Grand Lake, Oklahoma for a bachelor party and I'm wondering if I should hit up the well-known off-road area they have near by outside the town of disney. I'm looking up pics and just see pics of jeeps and ATVs. I'd be interested in some humble 4-wheelin down some dusty trails, not...

    help with tuning 350sbc - no vacuum

    I'm trying to dial in the engine. Here's what i know: edebrock 600cfm carb. I don't think the cam is too crazy or anything the idle mixture screws do absolutely nothing to either rpm or manifold vacuum. But they used to! Just a week or two I adjusted them and I was able to get the rpm to...

    Any way to replace front wheel studs on k10 without removing hub and bearings??

    Yeah I broke a wheel stud and I'd really rather not monkey with all the bearings and hubs and crap again. Do I have any choice?

    wheel bearing trouble

    Alright, let me give ya a rundown of all that I've done the the front wheel bearings.. About a month ago, the driver-side front wheel bearing went bad - it was making a chirping noise and the wheel could wobble when it was off the ground - so I replaced it. Actually, there's three bearings...

    HOW TO: front clip swap, 73-80 front clip on 80-87 cab/frame, square eye to round eye

    There are no photo-documented tutorials for how to do this swap. None online that I could find. Therefore, I hope this information can be added to the collective knowledge of the squarebody community. Below is a detailed pictorial of how I made this swap. I'm not saying it's the right way or...

    Door mirrors

    I'm thinking about what kind of door mirrors I might install, and the small ones in the pic below are looking about right. The small little tripod door mirrors... I don't want real little mirrors like the sport mirrors because IMO it looks like T-Rex with his tiny little arms, lol. Anybody...

    Can inner fenders (wheel wells) from an '83 fit the front clip from a '73 ??

    I bought a 73/74 front clip for my 83 k10. The wheel wells/inner fenders are ugly and the passenger side one is completely rusted away where it bolts to the radiator support. No steel left. However, the ones on my truck currently are in plenty good shape. Can I just use what I have? They're...

    I need 73-80 sheet metal and everything that goes with it!

    I'm swapping my 83 front end with the older style. Phase 1 will be buying all the parts, and they add up fast. So hopefully I can save a buck or two and buy used from one of you fine folks. hood fenders inner fenders hood hinges hood latch wipers assembly/gears core radiator support...

    how crazy is this idea?? I want to install a 71-72 grill on my 83 k10

    Cool idea? An abomination? Even doable?? I know a lot of people like the 81-87 front nose, but I much prefer the older 73-80 style. Mainly the shape of the fenders and the round headlights. But to do a front clip conversion, I would need new fenders, hood, radiator support, inner...

    Can the 73-80 side molding be intalled using glue, not the clips/screws?

    I would be installing the trim to an '83 cab+bed with a front clip from a 73-80. So I wouldn't have the holes in the cab and bed for the clips. Before I go and swap all the front sheet metal, I just want to make sure I can install the side molding without drilling holes. So do you think it can...

    REMOVE a leaf?? or, How to Lower a 4" lift to stock height

    I think I want to lower my SWB K10 and put on smaller tires. The first step will be get some 31" or 32" tires. I believe stock was 29/30" and they say 33" could barely fit with stock height. Won't be hard. I'll buy new shocks, I don't want to buy new leaf packs, hoping to use whats on there now...

    Loose driveshaft?! Take a look

    I made a 400 mile round trip drive on my 83 chevy 4x4 this past weekend, with a stop at an Off Road Vehicle area to do a little 4 wheeling. When on the highway, the truck would shake if I drove over 65 mph. After the off road fun - which included a good deal of bucking and bouncing and vroom...

    Engine won't startt. Getting spark and starting fluid doesn't help....

    I was hoping to avoid a dumb thread like this, but I'm totally stuck.... :shrug: I washed the old engine bay yesterday to get as much grim and dirt out as possible. I used engine degreaser and a brush, then washed it away with a hose. The air cleaner was on and keeping water out of the carb...

    will fenders from a 73-80 fit on a 81-87 ??

    Can fenders from a 73-80 c/k be made to fit on an 81-87 c/k?? I only want to replace the fenders. So the hood, grill, doors, radiator support, etc. would not change. Is it possible? How much cutting/drilling/welding/grinding would be involved? I want to know because I have an '83 but I like the...

    help me diagnose this clunking noise

    I can't figure out where this noise is coming. First I'll describe it. very low in frequency. not a squeel, more like a clunking noise. intermittent. Can be felt/heard in the cab maybe half the time or less. only at idle (or can't hear it above idle because of the exhaust) sounds like it...
