    Cab lights with no headliner?

    Super helpful. Side question: did anybody spray in foam insulation into their roof gap, and if so did it help with noise and temp control? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cab lights with no headliner?

    I’ve got a ‘78 C10 without an interior headliner or pillar trim. If I wanted to install exterior cab roof lights, is there a way to do it without drilling all the way through the cab into the interior, which would then (I assume) necessitate installing a headliner and trim to conceal the wiring...

    LMC speakers up for grabs!

    I just replaced 4 speakers that I bought from LMC with better ones. They’re almost brand new, and they did the job when connected to my OEM head unit. They’re pretty mediocre...can’t get very loud, paper cones, tiny magnets, don’t have a very rich sound profile...but they work. 2x 6.5” 2-way...

    Is my fuel pump wired wrong?

    Circling back. Purchased the Revolution Electronics relay. Installed it today. Works precisely as advertised. Install was pretty straightforward...connects inline with the fuel-pump-to-battery line, and also hooks into a 12v accessory circuit, the tach wire from the distributor, and ground. Had...

    Is my fuel pump wired wrong?

    Prob should have consulted this resource earlier: the install instructions for the pump: Says wire it into an oil pressure switch. I’ll have to scrounge around tomorrow. It’s night and raining and cold, not the best time to crawl into the back of my engine bay. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Is my fuel pump wired wrong?

    Thanks for the advice, Bruce (and others). Any idea what kind of relay, and/or where I could go to find that info? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is my fuel pump wired wrong?

    The previous owner of my 78 c10 installed an electric fuel pump (a Mallory Series 110). The fuel pump turns on when you turn the key to the accessory position. In other words, if I turn the accessories on, the fuel pump runs. 1. Is that right? I thought it’s not good for the pump to run it when...

    Back to intermittent wipers..

    Interested. Are the parts tested and working? And what is a NOS module? Is it this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-GM-AC-Delco-Chevy-Intermittent-Front-Wiper-Motor-Pulse-Module-12368700/153789995406?hash=item23ce99198e:g:tGQAAOSwdnNeFoRW Ultimately after reading through this thread, it's still...

    Back to intermittent wipers..

    Did you ever get it working Mark? I've got a '78 C10 with the standard 3-position wiper switch. Tried the LMC module (https://www.lmctruck.com/1973-91-chevy-gmc/csb-1973-77-intermittent-wiper-module) and it didn't do anything when I wired it up, so I returned it. It says on LMC that it's...

    Post a picture of your Rim & Tire

    Factory rally wheels. Previous owner powder coated them to factory grey color. Tires are 275/60r15. Been thinking about putting something on with slightly higher sidewalls, just for aesthetics. Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Converting ash tray to audio controls

    It sounds great, but it only sounds as good/full as the speakers you have it hooked up to. So far I’m impressed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Converting ash tray to audio controls

    I used a similar sub that I bought off Amazon: Sound Storm LOPRO10 Amplified Car... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001CY13W2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share It’s a SoundStorm under-seat amp + sub unit. Has a 10” sub (retrosound one has an 8”). This one cost $103 (though currently it shows a higher price)...

    Dash was cut for DIN radio

    I just installed the Retrosound Hermosa. It’s the model with aux/usb inputs plus Bluetooth. Comes with a Bluetooth mic. Couldn’t be happier with it, and I highly recommend it. For one, you don’t need to hack your dash or your dash bezel. Not that I’m a purist when it comes to that stuff...but...

    Converting ash tray to audio controls

    Recently installed a Retrosound Hermosa head unit in my 78 c10, along with kickpanel speakers in the front and cab corner speakers in the rear. Added a sub under the seat. Speakers and sub were Amazon Prime purchases. Really happy with the setup. A huge upgrade from the OEM Delco system. The...

    New here! 78 Big Ten.

    Hey folks, Adam here, new to the forum. Bought a ‘78 C10 Big Ten about a year ago and have been tackling small updates/mods here and there. I’m more of a wood guy than a car guy, but tinkering is tinkering and I can’t stop. Previous owner put in a crate 350 engine, rebuilt the turbo 400...
