    Emblem Help

    My 1978 C10 had Silverado emblems on the fenders as shown in this picture. I was looking on Classic Industries and LMC and did not see Silverado emblems except for 1981-87 trucks. Are the emblems on my truck now not original or do they just not offer reproductions?

    Any Chevy Engine VIN decoding experts here?

    Yes sir. I finally figured that out a while after I made the thread. It has a TH400 hooked to it that's burnt up but I haven't checked to see if they match. Doubt it. If they do maybe I need this to build a tribute SS or something http://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/5237411918.html

    Any Chevy Engine VIN decoding experts here?

    Looks like the JK means it was a 396/325hp with TH400

    Any Chevy Engine VIN decoding experts here?

    I have a 396 that was pulled out of my truck (not original, truck is a 78 C10) . I was told it was a 1969 when we went to get it and that turns out to be correct. My heads are 1972 heads off of a 402/454. My Block Casting number is 3955272, which is a 1969 396. My partial VIN is as follows...

    Will K10 shocks fit a C10?

    Well, going to give it a try and we will see. I just hate to buy new ones for the C10 when these are less than a year old.

    Need your opinion!

    Don't know the answer to your question but it will be pretty cool having a C10 in Sweden. Are there many over there?

    Spring help

    I was looking at those same Rancho Shocks today. I want to do 2" EZ rides and run 33 inch tires on mine. Sounds like you are happy with the shock choice.

    Will K10 shocks fit a C10?

    I have basically stock replacement shocks on my 1982 K10 and I have Cooper 31x10.5 tires on 6 lug 15X8 Rally Wheels. I am picking up some more 15X8 (5 lug) Rally Wheels tomorrow. I want to move the 31X10.5 tires over to the C10 and would like to move the shocks too if they would work. I am...

    What size tire with 17X8 Rim?

    I think I am going to buy some 17x8 rims w/ 4.5 inch backspacing for my 1978 C10 project. Does anyone know how wide I can go without rubbing anything up front? The truck will probably be lowered a little but not a ton, my roads are pretty rough at times, so I can't go with a straight low...

    Heater Core Problem?

    I do have AC, would be tough living here in Oklahoma without it. We have had a mild summer for us though.

    Heater Core Problem?

    For a while now when my thermostat opens as the truck starts to get warm I get a a fairly strong odor of coolant inside the cab. There have been a few times when it was really strong and it almost seemed as if a mist came out of the vents if I had the blower motor on. I would have to have the...

    Tire size limits WITHOUT lifting? (flares ok)

    I think 33's without any rubbing. Someone else may no better though.

    Replacement Bed Question

    I like it too, there are a few spots where you can see what the paint is supposed to look like. The longer I have the truck, the more I would like it to be my driver. Going to be a lot of work though.

    Replacement Bed Question

    No, this one is a long bed. It's a 1975 4X4 3/4 ton camper special. The tailgate on this one is not repairable (I think) kind of looks like someone just beat the hell out of the top edge. The top of the bed rails on both sides are also pretty beat up. Also looks like someone maybe ran over a...

    Replacement Bed Question

    I didn't even think about building one, was just hoping to find a decent one in good shape.

    Replacement Bed Question

    OK, thanks. This one does not have a filler door, but I don't guess it would be the end of the world if I find a decent bed that has the filler doors.

    Replacement Bed Question

    I just saw a post from JKnight in another thread that seems to explain it somewhat.

    Replacement Bed Question

    I have this 1975 3/4 that has a pretty rough bed and tailgate on it. I am not sure that the bed would be smart to try to save. I am no body expert but it looks like it would add a ton to paint and body even if it's possible to be straightened out. I have not decided if I am going to put a...
