    Missing vin on k10 can they be swapped over from a parts truck with most of the parts?

    Ok, so no paperwork on the new cab but does it have a vin plate? It is legal for you or you're authorized agent to remove it to do repairs. So you aren't breaking the law (my opinion) if you have a bill of sale for the cab and know the vin number so the police can search to see if it's stolen...

    Do you have titles for both trucks? I wouldn't see a big problem if you did.

    Did you find a RH one? Now that you mention it they would be left or right, because of the finger indent to open it.

    I need to add a fuel door....

    Looking for an aftermarket patch panel for adding a square factory fuel door in a bedside. I've seen one listed somewhere before but now that i need one, I can't find it anywhere. Has anyone out there come across one before?

    So I have a camper special rotting on my property

    What are your plans for it? I see a few good parts that you could sell for a few bucks it you wanted to part it out. the bed isn't a square body bed but would have some value. I personally wouldn't consider restoring it. Do you have the title for it? the vin tag rivets don't like original.

    Options for beds - aftermarket, used, new, substitutions

    Here's a link to a complete bed, http://nsanehotrodz.mybigcommerce.com/1979-87-gm-truck-short-fleet-bed-kit-w-steel-floor/ but you're better off finding a used one and doing some bodywork if needed. you'll be money ahead and it will be real steel.

    Non Existent VIN 1977

    I'm stumped, I was thinking it looked like Dodge vin but that didn't work when I tried to run it. Is the tag still on the door jam? I'm in NY with vin issues too, so I feel your pain.

    Color wiring diagram

    I think it should be 2 wires. A red to the junction block on the firewall, and a purple to the neutral safety switch under the dash.

    Interesting observation of my thermostat/temperature gauge

    Just a guess here, but I bet you have an air pocket trapped in the system.

    Bed Panels: Welded or Bolted?

    The bed bolts together. The bed sides inner and outer panels are welded together then bolt to the floor and the front panel. There are two small welds where the rear stake pocket meets the floor easy to cut with a grinder. Looks like another weld on the leg down, behind the tailgate trunion
