    A caddy Led light conversion

    Could take a 9 volt battery and touch wires and see what lights up, that's what I'd do anyway.

    Fuel Gauge

    No problem, and thanks. For doing just a couple of the gauges you could cut away some of the printed circuit around the tabs that hold the circuit in with scissors to isolate it from the remaining printed circuit. Just an idea if you wanted to attach your wires to the metal tabs. But whatever...

    Fuel Gauge

    I did and it turned out fine. I soldered the wires onto the little tabs that hold on the printed circuit, and placed them in wire clips I got off amazon. Now I had the bright idea to join all the grounds together so I had some redundancy with my grounds, would have worked but the warning lights...

    stepside vs fleetside bumper brackets

    This summer I'll be swapping to a stepside bed. Currently the truck has a sport bumper, looking at the lmc catalog it looks like fleetside has inner and outer brackets and the stepside only has an inner set. How similar are they? Do I need to get stepside brackets or are the inner brackets from...

    Fuse box picture?

    Thanks, that is very helpful! Here's some pictures of mine. Sorry about the quality and angles, was quite tricky to get my phone to play well and the brake line for the trailer brakes was in the way. Looks like the original owner added more to the wiring than I thought.

    Fuse box picture?

    Thanks, between that and my user manual (it lists all the fuse amps but doesn't show which slot is which) I should be able to figure it out. I'll check those out, this has been a nagging issue for years. Actually early on it was intermittent, sometimes it would work as intended, others it would...

    Fuse box picture?

    So most of lettering and numbers have worn off my fuse box. I want to make sure everything has the proper fuse and was hoping that someone might have a picture of a fuse box with the proper fuses. I have an 81 c2500 with electric windows and locks. Also my left turn signal indicator stays on...

    New member intro and questions

    My 81 is blue, most places just call it "chevy blue". I feel quite confident saying yours would have been blue.

    Cutting the dash for later stereo mounting?

    I have a retrosound and I love it, looks at home and works great. I got the simpler model at the time (several years ago) so I just have an aux input cable for playing from my phone. It hasn't given me any trouble. I personally would recommend retrosound.

    Long bed to short

    Perhaps it would be easier to sell the long bed and buy a nice short bed? I think you would have to cut sections out before and after the wheel wells to keep them centered over the wheels. Also noticed the little info thing says you have a 292, I'm quite fond of straight sixes. Wish the trend...

    Timing is way off...

    I agree with 74 Shortbed, it sounds allot like frozen weights to me. I had it happen to my truck, ran like shit and we had a hell of a time trying to track it down. Kept checking timing and fiddling with carb until we found it. Then it was just a matter of some wd40 and working it.

    Ash Tray Switch Panel

    When I was abit younger nitrous sounded like alott of fun, I thought I'd put the controller in the ash tray to keep it stealthy. I'd probably hide some switches there too if my dad didn't smoke.

    14 bolt clunks on throttle release

    Well I put the parking brake on, threw it in neutral and crawled under. My u joints are fine, no slop in them. I have about 10-20 degrees of movement in the pinion, was kinda hard to judge how much travel there was so I may be a bit off.

    14 bolt clunks on throttle release

    So my dad and I swapped my gear ratio a couple weeks ago from 3.73 to 3.21 in my 14 bolt ff. Changed out the bearings and installed the new ring and pinion, did the break in procedure then I had about a 200 mile drive back to college. I didn't notice anything on the freeway, but I was driving it...

    Choosing engine for future flip

    Hmm, I think the big-block would have the most appeal to the majority of people. My only concern is a healthy big-block would be pushing the limits of a 700r4 and stock axles. But I spose if you drove it keeping that in mind it would probably last alright. Maybe someone will add in on how the...

    79' C10 Silverdao

    For the fitech you either need to redo your fuel system or get the command center. The command center acts as a pressurized resivoir for your fuel so you don't need a high pressure pump. The command system would be easier but I think I'd personally do a return system fuel system if I had the time.

    Stupid Q of the Day

    I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work for you. Honestly my only concern with running something like that would be getting the rest of my engine bay pretty enough to match.

    Windshield interchangability

    Believe so, LMC lists compatability as 73-87 for all of them. I personally have a windshield from a pre 81 cab in my 81 so you should be good.
