Spring keeper?
Not sure what to call it. Where can I get one of these? The one at the back of my left leaf spring is missing.- Mobius

New alternator wiring question
I recently installed a CS144, 140 amp alternator, to power my dual electric cooling fans and whatever else I add down the road. I’ve read through some of the info here, and know I need to upgrade some of my wiring. People talk about the charge wire. Are you just adding a bigger wire from the alt...- Mobius

Refurbishing the interior, need parts advice
Who has the best quality and/or value for interior? I just replaced my bench seat upholstery, and I’m planning to also replace the carpet, door panels, and dash pad. Eventually, I’ll also do the kick panels and other miscellaneous trim bits, since I’m converting the interior color over to black... -
New bench upholstery!
I just finished reupholstering my bench seat. As with most of these old trucks, my vinyl was cracked and split in many places. Fortunately, the foam was still in good shape, as the sun hadn’t eaten it up much where it was showing through. My quandary was that I didn’t want hot, sticky vinyl, and... -
Best evaporator?
ive seen mixed reviews on the various evaporators available for our trucks. What is a good choice? I have a 79, if it matters. -
Accumulator?
Is there an accumulator that will fit our trucks that already has an R-134 low side fitting? Or do I just need to buy an adapter? I don’t really trust the adapter I’m using now, because it’s giving me wonky low side pressure readings. I’m getting ready to put in a Sanden compressor and parallel... -
Parallel flow condenser?
does anyone sell a direct fit parallel flow condenser that isn’t $300+? Or is my best option to buy a universal one for $80-90 and have some fittings made? Also, are the condensers directional, or can I mount a universal parallel either way? -
What is this wire on my blower motor?
while changing out my blower motor today, I noticed the purple wire first runs to a smaller gauge black wire with some kind of insulated bracket on it. Is it just a bracket? Is there a resistor or something important inside? Or can I get rid of it and just plug the purple wire directly into the... -
What are the fittings called?
I have a 79 GMC C10 with factory air. I’m installing a March serpentine conversion soon that gets rid of the huge factory compressor and uses a passenger side low mounted Sanden 7176 unit. When I go to order/purchase custom A/C lines, what size/type are the fittings that run to the accumulator... -
CS144 alternator charge wire question
I’ve seen that one or more of the wires/cables need to be upgraded when changing from a stock alternator to a higher amp unit like a CS144. Exactly which wires do I need to change/upgrade? Just the one that connects to the back of the alternator? Where does that wire go on a 79 GMC?- Mobius

door and ignition cylinders?
I just got a 77 C20, and I only received the ignition key. I need to purchase new door locks and I was hoping there is a set available that would include an ignition cylinder that uses the same key, instead of having the traditional two keys? Can anyone point me in the right direction? If I'm... -
New-ish here, new Chevy!
Howdy, folks. My name's Eric, and I'll be getting my first square body this weekend. My wife's grandfather is selling me his 77 Chevy C20 long bed. It's a little beat up, with some minor rust issues, but it runs well. It's been a farm truck for as long as he's had it. The 350 was rebuilt 20...- Mobius

2WD Lift?
I've been reading some threads, and doing some Googling, and it doesn't seem like there's much available. I'm buying a 2WD '77 Chevy 3/4 ton longbed from my wife's Grandfather, and I'd like to lift it. I see 4X4 kits everywhere, but haven't had much luck locating anything for the 2WD models...- Mobius
