    Unusual Bumper/Help

    What really gets me is the 4 stainless bolts and nuts right next to all that rust to hold some sort of "brace" that just goes between frame rails and is not even related to bumper nor is not related to anything else!

    Unusual Bumper/Help

    No, two bumper bolts on top, two on bottom. Yeah rust is a real problem in the mountains of NC, lots of salt during the winter.

    Unusual Bumper/Help

    83 K10 4x4 I have never seen another truck with this bumper. It almost looks like a van bumper. Well from the pic you can see my predicament. The brackets look nothing like you can buy. There is a bolt through the top and bottom of bracket holding bumper onto bracket. A long brace the runs...

    What are these wires for?

    1980 didnt have 700r4 because that came out in 82. So if this wiring is original (and it may have been transplanted, who knows what people have done in these old trucks) then the Jimmy could have had a TH350c. It was like a precursor to the 700r4. It had lockup for 3rd gear. Quick way to tell...

    What are these wires for?

    White can also be a signal carrier like into brake switch or any switch such as directional indicator or wiper switch or light switch. I got my information from my 83 service manual, 80 jimmy may be slightly different but I doubt it. Wire colors could have changed.

    What are these wires for?

    the connector inside the red circle. the three wires into the connector and only two wires coming out have to do with the transmission. light green and light blue wires that go out of connector together (2 wires) go to a connector on the transmission and also a low vacuum switch. The light...

    What are these wires for?

    what cluster do you have? Base? Factory Tach? No Tach? Knowing that will determine what the wires are for.

    ISO Fuel Filler Neck

    I need two fuel filler necks for an 83 K10 longbed fleetside. I believe 82 & 83 were the only years with this style. mine are rusted out and LMC is too rich for my blood. I have paypal ready to send money. I need this style that mounts with 2 bolts behind the fuel door.

    Ball Joint Advice

    I used Mevotech on my entire front axle swap/steering that I did last spring. Love them. I even have Mevotech on my 96 Grand Cherokee rebuild I did. They now have a new Terrain Tough line from Mevotech that looks even better than the Supreme Chassis line that I have used.

    Factory behind the seat storage.

    My truck has that cardboard thing but I also have a leather pocket organizer thing behind my seat. it is screwed into the metal up near the back window. it's pretty neat and I have never seen another one. I can put a pic up if anyone wants to see what it looks like. it looks like a dealer add on...

    Belt Part # - Alternates

    I have an 83 K10 with a swapped in early 70s 350. It was done by the PO. I have no idea if they are the 305 (original engine) pulleys or if they are the 350 pullyes. I had bought replacement belts back in 2013. 15405 for the power steering to crank. 15445 for the alternator to fan to crank and...

    83 K10 Spindle

    I took it apart and tried torqued everything to spec again. Still loose. The only thing I can think of is that I reused the adjusting sleeve that was already on the axle and not the adjusting sleeves that came with the ball joint. I found the NEW adjusting sleeves and will see if that fixes them.

    @bucket, what do you think? Inner bearing, spindle, outer bearing. There is a lip for outer bearing on spindle that I can feel with fingernail. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    83 K10 Spindle

    Yeah, I know. Do you think I need new spindles or are they pretty resilient? They sure are expensive which is why I didnt buy new ones when I did the swap. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    83 K10 Spindle

    I tightened according to FSM but you never know.They are new ball joints and I was thinking since the movements are just 12 & 6 that it could be ball joints. But when the ball joint is bad, doesn't that throw the alignment wayy out? Truck drives straighter than our 08 tahoe. EDIT: I don't see...

    83 K10 Spindle

    This past spring I swapped in rebuilt 10 bolt axles with 4.56 gears. Almost everything is new. The only things I didn't buy new were inner/outer front axles, rear axles, front hub assembly and spindles. I picked the two best inner axle/outer axle and rear axles from my truck and swap axles and...
