    Shift pattern terminology?

    Like gotyourgoat said, I have generally heard these trans referred to as 3 speeds, with the low gear usually being considered a separate "granny" gear for towing or other technical driving. I'm definitely aware of lots of guys calling this a 4 speed as well, so I think the vernacular comes down...

    These trucks are impossible to park, it's a major design flaw

    Couple extra wheels

    These have been sitting and I want them gone. Set of 2. $50 OBO. I'll ship them wherever, but buyer has to pay actual cost. I can get better photos if requested. Tires are not great, but they will drive.

    Show us your lights

    Junkman, that's one of the coolest push bars I've ever seen. I assume it's a custom fab? Those lights are a perfect fit in it

    Show us your lights

    Let's do a thread about different setups of driving/fog/aux lights. I want to get some new ideas. This is how mine sits now. The orange fogs came with the truck, and as far as I can tell they are original era. I pulled the top lights from a fire alarm because they were free and matched my push...

    Yeeeehhawwww boys!

    I'm looking at these photos again and realizing that not only is this sumbitch the same color and one year off of mine, but it's got the same push bar and tires too. It's almost like an obligation to follow in this guys footsteps

    Bench seat foam cushion

    Bench seat foam cushion

    Has anyone tried using raw foam from the crafts store? I'm okay making my own from scratch, but there's no way I'm paying $200 for foam

    Newbie trying to park this thing

    My rig is way too long to park on the street, I can't find a space anywhere for it

    leaks!

    Shit breaking is part of the charm of these old vehicles, as long as it's simple stuff and not total overhaul, lol. I've been a shadtree mechanic pretty much my whole life and I have a major love-hate relationship with the idea. When it's something simple and obvious, there's nothing more fun to...

    1974 K10 Newby here.

    You need a certain number of posts in the regular forum before you can use the sale ads, I think it's 50. It's a bummer but it's to keep spammers from making accounts here and killing the marketplace

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Cranks without starting - ignition?

    Guess it depends on the greybeard that tells it to you, lol. Yeah, this one crapped out of nowhere. There was a loss of power and throttle response, but driving it every day, it wasn't obvious. Then one morning, dead. It was sudden, haha

    Cranks without starting - ignition?

    Got it! Bad fuel pump was the culprit. Per the advice given here, I tested the fuel system better. Found that gas was only barely weeping from the top line when I pulled it off and cranked it. It was enough that I got fooled the previous day, but not nearly enough gas to run. Definitely...
