    Original bucket seat cover replacements? 1977 truck

    Thank you for the reply, they look similar to the low back blazer seats. I may swing that direction first.

    Original bucket seat cover replacements? 1977 truck

    I have a 1977 K10 project with original low back buckets. Is there a source for new covers? Are they going to be the same as the blazer low backs?

    Electronic Trans Swap

    Not a 4l65e but I installed a 4L60E behind a small block. It is doable, not cheap but doable. I had to do a bit of hack at first to get the torgue converter to bolt up (I used a LS spec 4l60E). I had to have the flex plate drilled for the bolt pattern of the LS style converter and had to use a...

    6.2l L86 / 10l80 swap in a 83 k10 suburban?

    Not in a burb but I started one on my c10 to k10 build. The trans was hitting the firewall but that was due to other issues. The parts exist to make it nearly a drop in conversion. I used- Swaptime Harnesses- nice unit and great customer service. At the time they couldn’t control a 10sp so...

    I get the square ones, I don’t get them from Amazon but it’s the same thing.

    1984 k10 crossmember question??

    I have 2 of the shorts in my stash, they are common and both came off 700r4’s.

    1984 k10 crossmember question??

    Not correct. This one works but you have to have a 208 or other. I used one on my last project. If your going the direction of the 700/400 it should be fine. Tejas

    1985 K10 6.2- won’t turn over

    Considering it, but also considering a Craigslist rebuild on this old dog (5.7 out of an 1975 C30) and I have a returned/repaired sniper system on the shelf. Still trying to find a running 6.2 and missed one out of a burb the other day for 800

    Freeze plugs into the block- how to remove?

    I pulled this out of a truck I’m stripping and it appeared they were fixing freeze plugs but then gave up. Well we were going to replace the plugs when I discovered both passenger side plugs were driven into the blocks cooling channel. Any thoughts on removal techniques? Internet search says...

    1985 K10 6.2- won’t turn over

    Giving up on it. Broke the balancer bolt off and she isn’t budging.

    1985 K10 6.2- won’t turn over

    Not really in a spot to start taking this truck apart until I get this out of the way. Plan is to get it into the shop and pull the front clip to get better access to the motor. Just kinda passively messing with it. I did find another engine on FB that turns and was pulled out in a...

    1985 K10 6.2- won’t turn over

    Updating this, I’ve been dropping trans/acetone mix in each cylinder over the last few weeks. Still no real budge but I do have about 1/8” movement back/fourth. Thinking about pulling the front pulley to attach a piece of bar to the balancer to push against with a Porta power.

    Dakota Digital install with American Autowire harness- ETA adding TCI 4L60E control to the install

    I think they really are hit or miss. I sent mine off and they sent me a new unit. I may try it again sooner or later but who knows. The release of the Sniper 2 says everything about the problems with the sniper.

    Dakota Digital RTX Install Critique

    The DD clusters are good. I’m in the middle of one using the DD setup, 4L60e trans controller and American Autowire harness. One thing to watch out for- do not install the temp or oil sender near your headers. It will melt out the plastic in the plug in. IE the factory water sender location...
