    Interior lights issue.

    On my truck I installed a new dome light bulb thinking it was bad because it wouldn't come on with either door open. Took out the door switches and gave them a good cleaning with emery cloth concentrating on the contact points of the switch shaft, viola! Both worked like new.

    Deleting the Catalytic Converter

    Mine is a 77 long bed. Though I still have to do smog checks it came stock without a cat due to the 6050 GVWR. I went with dual 2 1/2" exhaust with 40 series Flowmasters, H pipe, and side exits. Doesn't stink or offend anyone and sounds amazing.

    Temp gauge issues

    Sounds like the resistor on the back of your gauge is faulty. On my 77 c10 the gauge would read low till I replaced it with a new one from LMC. Around $40 if I recall correctly.

    I have Original front rotors?? I need replacements. 1' or 1.25 Look inside!

    The 4th pic from the top of your OP. At the 7 0'clock position are the letters MIN, following that should be a number. I can't read it from here but what is that number?

    I’m so smart

    My 77 doesn't have the inspection holes. You need to remove the drum and adjust the brakes from the outer side. It's just a little at a time until the adjustment is correct then re-install the drum.

    some 4/6 drop wheel help (yea i know)

    Something else to think about. The 2" drop springs have settled a bit and the top of my tire is rubbing the inner fender well over bumps. It's a 28" diameter tire. I bought some 5/8" spring spacers in case the rubbing gets worse but as of now it's not enough to make me want to change the rake...

    some 4/6 drop wheel help (yea i know)

    These rears are 15x10 with a 4-1/2" backspace. I used the same McGaughys parts you are planning to use. There was no way I had frame clearance without the C notch.

    some 4/6 drop wheel help (yea i know)

    On my truck with 2-1/2" drop spindles the 15" factory wheel just clears the steering knuckle. Backspace is 3-1/2". 3-3/4" backspace would probably fit with a little trimming on the knuckle. 4" won't fit with a 15" wheel.

    77 C10 Silverado Longbed spring rates

    Drop spindles have no effect on spring rates. They simply raise the spindle, which in turn lowers the vehicle. A drop of 1 to 1 1/2" isn't enough to warrant a shock change based solely on length. I don't know the stock spring rates but if you really want tunability a coil over conversion would...

    Biggest meat for the street

    The red truck is on 275/60s. The gold one has 255/70s. Both nice looks. The 275/60 is 28" tall and 11" wide. 255/70 is 29.1" tall and 10.2" wide. Thats in a T/A, brands vary a bit but you get the idea.

    4.5 inch backspacing on these puts them right where they need to be to fill out the wheel wells without rubbing.

    Rised white letter or blackwall

    15x10s from Wheel Vintiques. Had to modify them a bit to clear the drums cause the wheel centers were a little different from stock.
