    75 C30 leaf spring hanger replacement/relocation queries.

    I have no clue if the hangers for the other year truck you posted will work. You could use C30 or K30 hangers, but the K series are longer by about 2". The ones from the 14' bed should work. Measure your wheel base. It will tell you if you have a chassis cab or a pickup chassis. My K30 is...

    These wheels came on my K30. They are the 2000 and up PY0 wheels. Here's the info on them. The tires were 265/75/16 and did not hit the front springs. RPO - PYO Rim 16x 6.5 Lug 8 x 6.5 Offset +29mm Backspace 4.875" Photo #3 is Frankenchevy's truck. 16x8" 4" BS 285/75/16. I know his truck...

    How much paint do I need, and other questions

    When I had my '80 3+3 painted in 1995 it took 2 gallons of paint, plus everything else to go with it. That included the full interior and truck box.

    Removing power window regulators glass down

    I had to replace the motor in mine and what a difference. The pass is as slow as molasses. I'm sure I'll have to replace that motor too. I'm interested to see once I put new weather striping in the windows if they slow down.

    Vacuum line into the firewall?

    Here's the diagrams you're looking for. In photo 2 disregard the upper left. It's for a fuel injected vehicle.

    Popping when turning left in a 1973 chevy k10

    Is every thing greased? I had a similar issue with mine after my power steering box started leaking. It was draining into the drag link and thinning the grease causing a popping noise when I turned lock to lock. Fresh grease cured the problem in my case.

    454 kickback/dieseling after shutdown?

    My truck is a stock 454 with all the smog equipment. My truck has an 11/84 production date so it has a single smog pump emissions system for 85. The OEM timing is 4* @ 700 RPM. By anti-dieseling valve, to you mean # 1 & 4 (photo 2)? From what I've read, it is actuated by #3 (photo 1) which...

    1988 K5 headlight issues

    When you pulled the pins to clean them did you move the pins to match the H4 bulb? I believe the ground and high beam are in different locations for the H4. It's been over a year so I can't remember if I'm giving the correct info, but I do know they are different and that is why Hella gave the...

    1988 K5 headlight issues

    I had some issues on my '85 when I installed Hella H4/H1 headlights. Hella provides a short harness to connect to the H4 bulb. I had also added one of the high load headlight harnesses I found on Amazon. I had a problem similar to yours, but I can't recall the specific's now. I know I ended...

    Removing power window regulators glass down

    You can use a cordless drill battery to power the motor if it's off the truck. Just use some jumper wires.

    1987 Chevrolet V20 front leaf spring replacement

    Here's another spot to check. Are the bushings at the front of the springs equal size or off set at all (Yellow arrows)? I would also take some cross measurements from here and confirm the frame is square.

    Stock Window Trim 87 Silverado

    I only assumed this as all of my squares have been Silverados or Sierra Classics. Here's a couple pictures of my '87's. The blue one was purchased in July of 1989 with about 15-20k miles on it. The 3+3 was purchased in 1991. Both had black window trim and OEM glass.

    Belt trim fastener on fender?

    Here's my '85 (11/84 production date) the day I bought it. It had 1 repaint, but the side trim had not been removed for the paint job. The only holes for the trim are at the bed corners.

    Stock Window Trim 87 Silverado

    I've used Precision window rubbers and have been happy with the quality. Chevy came with chrome trim and GMC came with the black. Here's a link to the chrome trim: https://www.prp.com/product/detail/104166?SearchType=AGR&sort=u.Name&paginationCount=24&year=1985&make=Chevrolet&model=C10&type=All
