    Armrest Pads

    It was probably OER brand then ? the painted ones are like $80 a set. I've had lots of Mopar's over the years but the only one left which I've had for many years is a '70 Challenger R/T SE 440 six pack 4 speed. red on black. probably have that one until I'm gone.

    Armrest Pads

    does anyone know which brand of armrest pad ( 1977 ) is made of colored material and not just black with spray paint ? some ads say they're painted and some don't say at all. I know color molded ones were made because I bought a set a few years ago, but they don't have any identification...

    Rear Axles, What Changed in 1977 ?

    So it turns out the difference is the 10 bolt front axle. since the spacer isn't specific to front or rear they just say not for anything older than a '77 since the 10 bolt started showing up in late '77. Another problem that can occur is the older models had a larger flange on the axle...

    Rear Axles, What Changed in 1977 ?

    So if this is the case why would they draw a line at the '77 model year ? I may have to call them but I bet they can't give me an answer. Normally I wouldn't mess with it I don't like modifications and I'm no fan of spacers and adapters. but it just looks crappy being so narrow, I just...

    Rust Free 1980 K10 SWB, What's it Worth ?

    I have a real nice '77 K10 SWB Silverado so I don't need another, but I found one. What is a rust free '80 K10 Silverado 350/350 factory air worth? all original less than 100,000 miles , pretty straight 2 owner. drivable but needs work. I'd call it a super clean project not a driver as...

    Rear Axles, What Changed in 1977 ?

    I have a 12 bolt rear and a Dana 44 front. the spacers are for the rear to correct the narrow axle thing so it shouldn't matter then. I think the rear went to a 10 bolt as well but not until the 80's I' thought.

    Rear Axles, What Changed in 1977 ?

    I was ready to order some 1 1/2' spacers for the rear axle of my '77 K10 and noticed the product says '77 up. I think my rear axle is original but the glove box sheet says I have posi and I don't so I'm not positive. what is different in 1977 so I can be sure before I order ?

    15x8 Wheel Backspacing on K10

    I'm sure that's right, I pulled a wheel off and it's 3 3/4" . I think I found an original set of chevy 15x8 wagon wheels.

    15x8 Wheel Backspacing on K10

    I have decided to go with 32/11.5-15 tires and I'm going to get 15x8 white spoke wheels and paint them body color with factory rally wheel trim rings and center caps like the Desert Rat had. Stock Rally 15x8's were 4 3/4" backspace weren't they ? but mostly I find 4 or 3.75 I'm not sure...

    K10 front leveling

    Is there enough adjustment in the drag link for that ?

    K10 front leveling

    It does look like a no brainer after seeing them. nothing I couldn't fab myself but for $50 I'm not going to. So I'll need longer bolts they have those too. I guess just do I need caster shims and if so how much ? it would just be a guess of course but an average amount if anyone knows.

    K10 front leveling

    That looks simple enough. so would you add a caster shim while you're at it then or just install as is ?

    K10 front leveling

    My K10 has new stock springs but I'd like to get the front up an inch or so. The only I've seen are an add-a-leaf which will probably be around 2' and effect the ride. What about making new shackles about 1 1/2" longer ? that should raise it 3/4" and add a little caster that wouldn't...

    33/12.50-15's on 8" Rally Wheels fit a stock K10 ?

    Those look nice. I think I'll either go with those or the 32's the 12.50's are just a little too much for me. Did you level your front ? that's the stance I want I just need to figure out how to get it the easiest. since my springs are all new I hate to replace them again.

    33/12.50-15's on 8" Rally Wheels fit a stock K10 ?

    Pretty similar. my '77 tan is darker than that but the same paint scheme. I can't believe that sold for that price it's nice but I don't see it. Those must be 35's ? way too big for my taste .

    33/12.50-15's on 8" Rally Wheels fit a stock K10 ?

    The 32's are much less popular and much less to choose from. I may go with them in the end though because I'm trying for a modified Dessert Rat look and the 32's are bigger than stock but not overwhelming. the 31's I have now just seem a little wimpy. I have a '77 Silverado K10 SWB with a...

    33/12.50-15's on 8" Rally Wheels fit a stock K10 ?

    Those do look good. I don't care about tread wear as little as I drive it but do those drive half decent ? I'm sure they're noisy but that comes with tires like that.

    33/12.50-15's on 8" Rally Wheels fit a stock K10 ?

    That's a possibility. In the picture it looks like the front tires are outside the wheel well a bit, maybe it's because the wheel is turned a little. I'm wanting to avoid that since there's so much rock on the road in this country it would blast the paint even worse than normal.

    33/12.50-15's on 8" Rally Wheels fit a stock K10 ?

    Yes and there are less choices in the 32 11.50's as well. do you think without a lift the 12.50's would be a problem ?

    33/12.50-15's on 8" Rally Wheels fit a stock K10 ?

    I have 10.50's on my wheels now and they're a little lacking on looks. I was planning to go with 11.50's but I'm wondering if 12'50's may be an option. I have a '77 K10 with new stock springs and leveled a bit in the front. it's not jacked up . will 12.50's fit okay and will they look...

    1981 Tailgate Panel retrofit ?

    I'm not sure how to do that. but it's just like this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-1980-Chevrolet-Chevy-Truck-Silverado-Tailgate-Band-Trim-Molding-Panel-CK/112985050926?hash=item1a4e6f0f2e:g:ou0AAOSwufBa9ESM I found a perfect NOS one but man is he proud of it.

    1981 Tailgate Panel retrofit ?

    That's what I'm thinking. I just don't know if the size is close enough to make it work. I need to find an 81-87 one to compare it to. I'm sure it's been tried but I can't find anything on the web about it.

    TBI " unswap " ?

    It's a '77 SWB. no question it's an improvement. it just doesn't seem right though.
