    Fuel Doors

    I found what looks to be a very low mile original '78 K10. it has one fuel tank and no door, just like a '77. I thought all '78's had fuel doors? is it possible some early 78's didn't ?

    Exterior Decor Package

    It should be pretty easy to paint on. vinyl would work but cost more in the end I'm pretty sure. nobody makes the vinyl and I doubt they ever will since it's not very common or popular.

    Exterior Decor Package

    It appears the years did change the format but that's no big deal. by measurements I mean how wide is each stripe and how wide is the space between them. in other words if you were going to mask it off to shoot it what stripe dimensions would you mask off ? The colors are listed in the GM...

    Finally Found Hickey Grille Guard

    Painted and installed. this might be as close to a GMC Desert Fox as I'm going to get.

    Exterior Decor Package

    Did you get the measurements off the stripes hopefully ? I suppose a guy could just guess it's not like anyone could prove you wrong unless they had an original one.

    Exterior Decor Package

    Does anyone know where to find information on the exterior decor package in the late 70's models ? I remember seeing a few but I can't find any specifics like colors or stripe dimensions . I know it had the center of the hood painted the secondary color and several color stripes on the edge...

    Finally Found Hickey Grille Guard

    Not a big collection by any means but am eclectic one for sure . I like them all that's my problem. I've had all of them except the K10 for some time, the Challenger for 30 years.

    Finally Found Hickey Grille Guard

    After 2 years of searching I finally found an original Hickey set up for my K10. it was in Denver and straight as an arrow but it did take a some blasting and priming to smooth out. In my opinion nothing looks like Hickey, who made all the accessories for GMC Desert Fox and the Rockford...

    5.7 Exhaust Manifold Bolts

    I was afraid of that. it runs perfect and doesn't leak a drop of anything I'm not really into a big project over an engine paint job. I'll probably either do the best I can with them in place or just forget it altogether.

    5.7 Exhaust Manifold Bolts

    My '77 K10 has a low mileage all original 350 TBI out of a '92 K20 in it. why the PO didn't paint the engine blue before he installed it I have no idea. I really want to remove the exhaust manifolds and paint everything correctly to look as original as possible. what are the chances of...

    TBI Off Idle Transition Problem

    Tried that and it didn't change anything. I'm going to look things over again and if nothing seems off I guess I'll just live with it. I wonder if my '77 pedal assembly has a different fulcrum or something than the TBI models ? maybe it builds up too much force when you push on it and then...

    TBI Off Idle Transition Problem

    It has a cable on the RH side and a square electrical plug in on the LH side. so you're saying disconnect that and see if it helps ?

    TBI Off Idle Transition Problem

    looking at the pan it's a 700r4. It has a new complete Painless wiring harness going to the computer in the dash.

    TBI Off Idle Transition Problem

    Engine seems to run up smooth in park. so now I'm wondering if it isn't a transmission issue. Transmission cable is tight. from what little I've read this is not correct ?

    Hickey Push Bar And Grill Gaurd 73-87

    Hickey brand. Hickey sold lots of 4x4 accessories in the 7o's and 80's. look at pictures of the 1977 GMC Desert Fox , Hickey did them for GMC and it's all Hickey.

    Hickey Push Bar And Grill Gaurd 73-87

    I'm looking for a '73-80 Hickey set up. willing to pay a fair bit for one if it's in nice shape. and even a damaged one would be considered. thanks

    TBI Off Idle Transition Problem

    I'll check all these suggestions out thank you. the 700r4 doesn't have a lock up converter does it ? the shifts are pretty firm but I assumed when it was recently rebuilt they may have done that.

    TBI Off Idle Transition Problem

    No everything is in great shape. the entire drive train is like new . When I say chirp I don't mean a burn out, it just slips a tire. it shifts great through all the gears the best way to describe it would be a mild neutral start. the engine jumps from about 700 RPM to 1200 when you...

    TBI Off Idle Transition Problem

    Stock 350 out of a '92 in my '77 K10. 4.11 gears. it will chirp the tires on smooth pavement if you don't really ease into it . if you really ease into it then it just jumps. once you get rolling everything works perfect. 700r4 transmission. I don't think the transmission has anything...

    TBI Off Idle Transition Problem

    Ever since I bought my K10 the TBI 350 has jumped when you go from idle . it runs great but when you go to take off no matter how hard you try not to it jumps and sometimes even chirps the tires. It has a new cable and I replaced the TPS and nothing changed. it does seem like it pushes...

    Armrest Pads

    Yes I have a '79 F250 4x4 Free wheeling package my dad bought new. it's black with the goofy rainbow side graphics which are now reproduced. it's a flatbed on the ranch we use now and then today. For the record I bought the OER armrest pads and they are color molded.

    Armrest Pads

    Yes that's the look I'm going for minus the stripes. my pickup is tan with a white deluxe two tone so stripes aren't possible. . I have the roll bar and I found a set of the wheels . the grille gaurd is now reproduced by Hickey and should be here soon. I have a set on Cibie's for the grille...

    Armrest Pads

    The GMC Desert Fox is probably what you're thinking of. it was all tan and had no trim . it was one of the coolest pickups ever made in my opinion and Hickey did all of it. my plan is to keep my pickup original but add as many of the features as possible. not a clone just a vintage correct...

    Armrest Pads

    That's easy enough. I can't find any pictures of my can but I have some of my pickups I've restored in the last 15 years and still own. I'll have to find some of the Challenger. the K10 is getting a body color roll bar with KC Daylighters. a hickey push bar and grill gaurd and I found some...

    Armrest Pads

    Nice charger. you probably don't want to see what it's worth today. I can't figure out how to get pictures on here. so sites go to my pictures this asks foe an ULR and I don't even know what that is.
