    Tack Filter

    The tachometer filter can be constructed from Radio Shack parts. It's just a couple capacitors and resistors in a metal can. The 1983 wiring diagrams show the internal components... http://rodneydickman.com/CorvetteTachFilter.html...

    Which Wiring Harness Question

    I'd consider the 1985 cab if they are both in good shape. The 1985+ washer pump in the reservoir is less expensive than the earlier gear driven pump. Creature comforts like intermittent wipers are easier to add to the 1985+ stalk controlled wiper setup and the later pulse switch is a bit more...

    Blower fan not working

    No HI is usually either a bad relay or no power to the Relay common from the J-stud on the firewall.

    4wd conversion on 76 dually

    The rear frame will not be different between the K30 SRW & a C30 dually... as long as the dually donor isn't a cab n chassis truck. Your C30 isn't a C&C so... The K30 (1 ton 4x4) was not available till 1977. On the plus side intermittent wipers, power lock and, power window upgrades are...

    Relibile dimmer switch manufactuer

    The factory 35/55 Watt lamps run 110W through the dimmer on high and 70W on low with dual lamps or 220W on high and 70W on low with quad lamps... This doesn't include the 5-15W per bulb for the parking/running lamps that is routed through the dash switch along with the headlamps. 370W without...

    never jerk a stuck truck with a chain

    Chain can go right through that. You might get lucky but I wouldn't bet my life on it. I did an experiment many years ago on a car that was going to scrap... It settled an argument about how ridiculous it is for the movie good or bad guys to hide behind a car door in a gun fight. The...

    Windshield washer pump, horn button

    The wiper and washer on the for all the squarebody trucks gets constant ignition power from the same fuse. If the wipers work then probably the gear drive pump has had it. There's an electric replacement available from Trico (#11-515) for the 78. The horn is a completely different circuit...

    Dual fuel tanks

    Fuel pump relay? Is the dash switch or fuel pump relay getting power?

    Fuel Pump/Fuel Sender Questions

    If it's a long box then you can put a 20 on using the same straps. Short box not so much. There isn't enough room for the 20 gallon tank on the 6' bed frame.

    Evaporator housing "gunk" + leak

    I'd use what we used to call Dum Dum tape. The actual trade name for it is Prestite tape. http://www.acsource.com/prestitetape.aspx http://www.amazon.com/CoolPro-Climate-Control-Products-Prestite/dp/B000FS3UHW...

    Replacement bed floor?

    That's a 73-80 E81 fleetside. I've seen that restoration and it's gorgeous. It was a heckuva lot of work. Not easier than a steel floor. There's a thread about it on the 47-Current Chevy truck forum. Here ---> http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=432498 The side flanges and...

    Front accessories, pullies etc

    Updating to a GM serpentine setup might be a nice on the cheap upgrade. They started in the mid to late 80's on the 4.3L ST trucks, T400 CK trucks 4.3L V6 or smallblock V8, F-body V8 and, B-bodies with smallblock corporate V8s. The B bodes came with the 307Y Olds so if you find one of them with...

    1987 Assembly Manual

    From a real source instead of my 10th hand rumors. Excellent. This explains why there seems to be only one lonesome 1982 Light Truck assembly book in the wild. It's at least from one year unlike the assembly manual for the 67-72 that looks like a collection of escapees. Thanks for clearing...

    This blowup is from the 1980's. Has the part number been superseded? It's worth asking.

    has anyone installed gearvendors overdrive with there sm465

    I've done an NV4500 in a 1976 4x4. The cost is well over the $ and time to install a Gear Vendors or Ranger Overdrive on an SM465. A decent 96+ 4x4 NV4500 cost me $1200. Add in the flywheel and clutch parts. $350. Fab work on the cab and all the little bits and pieces... My time... If you're...

    Fuse sparks when plugged in

    Before you mess with a headlight conversion get the wiring problems straightened out. The steering wheel is very relevant. The PO disturbed the column switches. The dimmer and horn switches are in the column. Stereo installers do some pretty schlock wiring. I've seen some excellent work too...

    Diesel electrical system and batteries

    Everyone wants to put a tractor button on the dash. Why? Update the obnoxious 85-86 glow controller to the 1995-2001 CK 6.5L glow controller that actually works. For 85-94 it's plug N play. Tell the parts goon you have a 1997 GMC K2500 6.5L Turbodiesel with a 5 speed and you want a glow plug...

    Np833od

    The aluminum case A833 aren't the boogyman they are made out to be. Cast Iron cases are supposed to be tougher but even the Al case units are built like a tank. Seal up the countershaft plug properly and put the right oil in it (not gear oil) and it'll do just fine. I had one behind a built 383...

    Transmission swap, RPMs are killing me

    If you're going to tow the 4L80E or the TH400 and a Gear Vendors OD box are the least expensive way to go. Both are less expensive than any manual conversion fit for towing and they will both hold up very well. Do your own homework but I'd say the GV and a rebuilt 4L80E with a TCM and speedo...
