    Transmission grinds going into L or R

    Encountered the same phenomenon again today, after putting another 2k on the truck. Groaning going into 2nd and sometimes just wouldn’t. Adjusted the clutch and took it out for fuel. Drove like it normally does (no abnormal sounds, went into and out of gears effortlessly). I shut it off at the...

    Has anyone received door panels or sun visors from USA1 since March 2023?

    I did receive the door panels. The sun visors have not shipped. Hoping to order a dash pad and some carpet in the spring so I can wrap up my interior.

    Has anyone received door panels or sun visors from USA1 since March 2023?

    UPDATE: I received my door panels today, only 13 days after placing my order. The color match to the seat cover and belts (Also USA1) is phenomenal. They appear to be high quality. The sun visors have not shipped yet.

    Has anyone received door panels or sun visors from USA1 since March 2023?

    I originally ordered charcoal-colored custom deluxe door panels (manual windows & locks) and sun visors from USA 1 in February of 2022. After 13 months with no ETA for either item, I obtained a refund. They have a 10% deal for cyber Monday (today) and I still am interested in purchasing the...

    Transmission grinds going into L or R

    Update: It was a clutch adjustment issue. Sought the assistance of a buddy who is more knowledgeable and competent than I and we got it resolved. Thanks for your assistance.

    Transmission grinds going into L or R

    This is occurring while stationary and has not always been the case. I’ll try adjusting again and start looking into a new clutch. Thanks!

    Transmission grinds going into L or R

    1984 Chevy K30. 454. NP435. NP205. 33k on the clock. It has definitely turned over at least once. I have put about 8k on the truck since I purchased it in 2019. Recently, my transmission has been grinding when I shift to Low/1st or Reverse. I adjusted the clutch (mechanical linkage) and the...

    049 Heads

    1984 RCLB Chevy K30, 454, SM465, NP205, D60, 14FF w/4.10 gears I found a pair of complete 049 heads locally for $175. From what I’ve read, they’re a desirable head for daily driver/towing applications. Depending on what I find (2 vs 4 bolt mains, stock bore vs .030, 0.060) when the 454 in my...

    14 bolt FF hub seal orientation

    Thank you for responding, you saved my new brake shoes. I already purchased a new seal and axle flange gasket to correct my error.

    14 bolt FF hub seal orientation

    I’m in the process of installing new brake shoes, drums and hardware and inner and outer wheel bearings and seals in my 84 K30. The rear axle is a 14 bolt full floater. I took pictures during disassembly but am now second guessing whether I may have installed the passenger side seal backwards...

    Sounds as though you may need to adjust your clutch linkage rod.

    Brake pedal needs manually reset after depressing

    After tearing into the dash with the intention of replacing the brake pedal return spring, I decided against it. Reason being, everything worked fine before I changed the hydroboost unit. Also, the spring, which looks to be entirely enclosed in a steel tube of sorts, appears to be in good...
