    Replacement wiper arms

    I just checked and they don't have one for my truck. Also, I'm wanting a different style of arm, not a direct replacement. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Replacement wiper arms

    I ordered a set off eBay for a 2001 jeep Cherokee. I'll let everyone know if they work

    Replacement wiper arms

    Wait... So I could have just ordered wiper arms for a slightly later year truck and they would have worked?? My 84 has the bayonet style arms and I can't stand them. Actually I went to rock Auto and looked at the 85-87 model and they had the pin style. I don't like those at all either.

    Replacement wiper arms

    I was told I could replace my crappy stock bayonet wiper arms on my 84 Chevy K10 with wiper arms from a 2001 Jeep XJ. Does anybody know if this is true? I found a jeep Cherokee I can pull the wiper arms off of for $10. But I googled it and apparently an XJ is a Cherokee and not a Wrangler like...

    Windshield Wiper Arms

    I was told in another forum that an awesome upgrade is wiper arms off of a 2001 Jeep xj will fit my 84 Chevy k10. I have yet to try it, but they would have the better style arms.

    Dome light door switches. How to change without twisting wire?

    Does anybody know how to fish the wire out of the body panel? I unscrewed my switch to replace it and the wire was disconnected. I looked around the floor board and there doesn't seem to be any way to access that area. I was hoping somebody had an easy method for fishing it out with. It's on...

    WTF? Intake manifold crud

    This is what I'm worried about. I just had to pull my intake manifold for a second time, because I didn't put enough rtv in the rear gap between the intake the the block and I had oil coming out pretty badly. 2 quarts a day bad. On the upside, there's no way my driveshaft or underside of my...

    AC Pulley / Belt Alignment

    I'm having the exact same problem! I hope you get an answer. It causes some belt squeal which is annoying. You can't really tell the misalignment in this photo, but everything looks similar to yours.

    Upgrade: Installing the longer 2WD 3/4 ton 454 radiator

    Where did you get that license plate stand? What's the part number?

    305 build advice. Any and all advice is appreciated!

    Are the gears hard to change? Do I have to pull the axles or anything to do it? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    305 build advice. Any and all advice is appreciated!

    I'll probably need some bigger engine mounts. Do you think a 600 CFM Edelbrock will power that thing?

    Is this the engine?!? Did I find the one?

    That was a really good read. Do you think it would be worth switching away from Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil to a racing oil for everyday use?

    Is this the engine?!? Did I find the one?

    I get talked into stuff pretty easy lol. I kept seeing people talk about how flat tappet came aren't very durable compared to roller cams. Wouldn't a good comp cams flat tappet camshaft be just as good if not better than the OEM one that came in my engine from the factory? I don't want to...

    Then what is your suggestion to get a good horsepower to dollar ratio?

    Is this the engine?!? Did I find the one?

    $1000 head swap? I can buy an entire vortec engine for a couple hundred bucks. Are you talking about all the money for the roller cam and all the stuff to make it into a roller block? I haven't priced all that stuff yet. So, just so I understand what you're saying, you're saying to find a TBI...

    I might as well take out a second mortgage now.

    Is this the engine?!? Did I find the one?

    What's the cam button for? The only time I've ever seen one was for the end of the cam shaft to control end play. Oh... I guess that's because the roller cam doesn't have the bevel to keep it in place?

    84 K10 305 to 350 swap

    I already have my freshly rebuilt Edelbrock 600 CFM carb so I'll probably just stick with that. I'll also probably just grab an Edelbrock intake and be done with it. I also rebuilt my original qjet carb, but I could never get it to run right. I'm sure it was more my fault than anything though.

    Is this the engine?!? Did I find the one?

    I guess it's not the end of the world if I have to go with a flat tappet cam and hydraulic lifters. It's like playing the lottery

    84 K10 305 to 350 swap

    Yes I am. At a minimum I'm doing a cammed 350 with updated roller lifters and vortec heads, headers, Edelbrock intake and carb. There's a chance I'll go bigger and do a stroker 383 and change the whole rotating assembly. But even though that's a good idea I doubt I'll go that far just because of...

    Is this the engine?!? Did I find the one?

    I appreciate all your help. Is there a thread telling me what casting number I should be looking for?

    305 build advice. Any and all advice is appreciated!

    Or lack thereof lol. I will update back from time to time. I'm hoping to get this engine I'm looking at. A 350 stock, but complete for $100.

    84 K10 305 to 350 swap

    If the block has the block off plate but isn't tapped, can the machine shop drill it out? I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited about changing back to the single serpentine belt setup instead of the 3 v belts.

    305 build advice. Any and all advice is appreciated!

    So you're saying I should go with a Cummins diesel! You're the boss! On a more serious note though... I've been doing a lot of reading and talking with the fine folks on this site and it just doesn't seem to make any sense to completely rebuild and supe up the 305 when I can do a 350 for...

    Is this the engine?!? Did I find the one?

    Could I pull a valve cover to see how the rockers are made? Would they also have rollers? If I have to pull the intake what would I look for? I'm fine with purchasing the vortec heads separately and the intake.
