    Clunking noise on start up

    Installed a new 355 I built into my k10 this weekend. Got everything wired up and went to start it and it begins to crank but then will make a loud clunking noise. It will then start to turn over again and do it again. Pulled the starter and checked to make sure it was mating with the flywheel...

    Flatbed conversion

    I'm converting my 79 k10 from a shortbed to a flatbed. I have access to a free 90's ford flat bed, and I wanted to know if anyone has tried something like this, and what modifications it would take?

    Hey folks, just bought my first square body truck and joined the forum. I'm 17 and also have a 1978 Corvette that I have worked on quite a bit so I have a decent understanding of 350 small blocks and decent idea of how to diagnose issues. Today as I was driving the truck, it died on me. After...

    Aluminum Silverado wheels

    I scooped a set of factory aluminum wheels for my 87 Silverado. I thought I could just steel wool them and they’d polish up, but that’s hasn’t been the case. These wheels have little ridges in them and I think what I initially thought was grime may be scratches. Any suggestions on how to bring...

    Chevy 250 Exhaust Manifold

    I've looked around and can't seem to find any information so hopefully y'all might now. Has anyone seen this exhaust manifold before? I know people make them custom but I don't believe that is the case with this. If someone does know, is it true dual or just dual output? Eventually looking...

    K10 leaf spring swap

    Looking to build my k10 to be a trail rig for a while. The truck came with 6 inch lift blocks on the rear.
