    K10 suspension upgrades?

    The wheels have push through center caps lol I should’ve mentioned that when I said remove a wheel my bad, I’ll try and get some pics and more info at lunch in a few hours I’m about to go to work. It looks similar with the bolts going around where the driveshaft hooks up to the diff, mines got a...

    K10 suspension upgrades?

    The RPO codes say heavy duty spring front and rear but also says 305 cuin for engine option lol. I’ll get pics it’s dark now. I already got the truck running it’s currently got a 350 good wrench engine in it and a manual trans and np205 tcase. The front hubs are very different from what I’m used...

    TBI idle issue

    I did probe the wire to the tps and it read in the range recommended but I don’t remember much else from when I tested it. I’ll try tomorrow to see how it acts with the throttle cable removed and using the linkage with my fingers. Possibly WD40 the linkage?

    TBI idle issue

    My egr didn’t necessarily leave me stranded the truck started but idled poorly the egr seized and had a vacuum leak, off idle tan fine but it wouldn’t idle. The throttle blip does still fluctuate from under the hood I haven’t tried with throttle cable disconnected but I can. Using my hand to...

    K10 suspension upgrades?

    Well I bought an early 80’s one ton today, it’s show time. Plan on using the frame for my 87. I thought it was a 3/4 ton at time of purchase but turns out to be a 1 ton. I need to determine axles and figure out what I want to use. I wanted to use my existing axles in my 87 with this frame but if...

    TBI idle issue

    I’ve had a previous thread and it went all over the place, I’m here now because my problem is back and I never got a fix. 1987 Chevrolet V20 350 TBI Frankenstein engine and sm465 trans. The engine is a tbi from heads up but has an older block. Cold start idle to warm is fine and truck idles...

    K10 suspension upgrades?

    I don’t plan on hauling much maybe pulling an occasional small load. Nothing a half ton isn’t capable of. If I’ve got the parts truck could I just use the 3/4ton driveshaft? Would that fit right in the np205 tcase?

    K10 suspension upgrades?

    You know, you’ve got a point, I’ve got 2 k10’s and an 87 V20. I’ve got everything except a c20 and a k30 on the property. What exactly do I need to measure? Spring hanger to spring hanger? Width of spring perches? Will I have to change my brake lines? I know the brakes will be larger. Will my...

    K10 suspension upgrades?

    I agree lol it was kinda cool finding those wheels. Found a sweet deal on them snagged them for $400 off of a early 60’s c10 tires are old but brand new. Will the 3/4 ton stuff bolt right in? Edit: odd topic question, does anyone else have the mirrors like this truck has? My passenger side...

    K10 suspension upgrades?

    The bed fits fine currently, I was just hoping to upgrade. I wanted to go with 3/4 ton suspension since it’s a work truck and carried a bit of weight. And the dually was so I could get a bigger bed

    K10 suspension upgrades?

    I’m fine with just using 3/4 ton axles and better springs, better springs is what I’m after and I wanted the dually rearend to get a dually utility bed for more room. I’d run half ton gear all day but my opinion it would look a little funky having a big utility bed for a dually on a single rear...

    K10 suspension upgrades?

    Alright I think it’s time to upgrade the work truck lol, I’ve got a 1978 Chevrolet K10 Bonanza that’s been my work truck for several months now. The truck runs fine drives ish fine and has a utility bed so it’s great for what I do. Although I’m thinking about upgrading from half ton suspension...

    Quadrabog bogs

    Alright so I thought I had the issue resolved but I’ve had the steering column apart for the past two weeks changing the turn signal switch. Finally got the truck back together and got new wheels and tires on it new radio all kinds of fancy smancy stuff. But it hardly had enough power to pull...

    Hydraulic clutch problem

    So many questions. Do I pump the fluid in with the slave attached or removed from bell housing? I’ve already replaced the master once, line between once, and slave twice. The slave rod pushes out when looking under the truck so I would think it’s got plenty of pressure but the pedal doesn’t do...

    Hydraulic clutch problem

    Just spent ~2 hours flushing and bleeding the slave. It has plenty of pressure and I had plenty of hopes. After I got clean fluid coming through the bleeder I closed bleeder unbolted slave held it angled so bleeder wasn’t highest point and pressed the rod in atleast 50 times until I got 5 pushes...

    Shudder while taking off

    I wouldn’t doubt oil being on the flywheel, I really need to pull everything apart and reseal the engine/trans/tcase, they all leak. Inside the bell housing is disgusting(inspection plate missing and part has been cut off for some reason). Is there anything crazy or anything specific to watch...

    Hydraulic clutch problem

    Alright recently just got my custom license plate and plan on doing some work to this truck to make it driveable again. I’ve bled in the slave several times and the fluid is dark. What could be causing the fluid to get dark? Heat? From? I plan on completely flushing out all the dark fluid today...

    Shudder while taking off

    1978 Chevrolet K10 350/SM465/NP205. I’m going to start with saying this truck is my work truck and it has a utility bed on it mostly full of all my tools. The truck had an issue a while back where you literally could not take off in first it would shake so bad similar to a wheel hop feeling, so...

    Wheel bearings auto hubs

    Got the front wheel bearings torqued, as always they started finger tight lol. Wheel doesn’t love anymore and spins freely I forgot to check for the click. I like the full time hubs they seemed easier to take apart than the locking hubs I’ve done previously.

    Wheel bearings auto hubs

    Alright thank you. I’ll dig into that soon. Since we’re on bearings, should the rear drum have a small amount of give inward and outward? I could grab the wheel and pull out and push in and hear a small amount of movement(bottoming out and pulling all the way out?) I couldn’t visibly see it. Is...

    Wheel bearings auto hubs

    What torque do wheel bearings need again? I did them on my 87 but I can’t remember if it’s 50 inside then washer then 35 oitside or something like that and you have to loosen them and retorque something. I’ll pop a cap off and dig in soon Edit: also thanks for the correction I wasn’t sure what...
