    Making headers fit

    I only have one bolt, the farthest forward, in finger tight. Only the farthest forward bolt hole and port line up. The middle 2 and end are off about 3/4”. Yes, these are Hedmann SBC headers (69088).

    Making headers fit

    Hello All, As you can see from the pic, my headers do not line up with my heads. The headers are about 3/4” too short. Also the bolt holes don’t line up. Are there adapter plates available? Or should I cut the header flange into 2 or 3 sections? Thanks

    77 c10 lower control arm problem

    Yes, the lower control arms I was using were 3/4 ton so the ball joint pins were larger OD than 1/2 ton. I reamed the lower hole in my spindle to accept the larger pin. I just used a drill press in my shop.

    How to choose torque converter?

    Yes, sir, stall speed. My intentions for the truck are to cruise around, sound good, and burn rubber. It won’t be a daily driver. It will be my muscle truck.

    How to choose torque converter?

    Hi guys, Asking about my ‘77 c10 again. It’s got a 400 (406) and th350. This cam is in it- https://www.jegs.com/i/COMP-Cams/249/12-423-8/10002/-1 I have an Eaton posi with 373 gears. Is there a formula for figuring your torque converter?

    Nope, no plans for hydroboost or a 2nd alt.

    Serpentine belt conversion kit

    So if I’m running a standard setup I use a mid mount? Top left setup in the pic attached for reference. I don’t think the aftermarket 3row alum radiator would change anything.

    Serpentine belt conversion kit

    Hey guys, I’m putting together a 77 c10. It’s got a 400 (406 with a roller cam) and no plans for a/c. I’m thinking about putting in a serpentine belt kit. I don’t think I’m going electric water pump. I will probably go with a 3 row aluminum radiator. The original was rotted. One thing I...

    77 c10 lower control arm problem

    So the solution that I chose was to ream the spindle to fit the larger ball joint. I’ve attached a pic of the reamer.

    77 c10 lower control arm problem

    I bought the lower arms complete. I didn’t need to assemble them. But yes, they are how you describe the C20 shaft.

    The ball joint shaft (pin)? I will if I have to.

    77 c10 lower control arm problem

    I had hoped that was the case but I don’t think it is. I haven’t actually measured it yet, but it looks like the 3/4 body is about 1/4” larger than the 1/2 ton.

    77 c10 lower control arm problem

    Hello, So I screwed up. I ordered 3/4 ton lower arms for my C10. As far as I can tell, they’re the same as 1/2 ton except for the lower ball joint. Has anyone reemed their spindle for the larger lower ball joint? Or Is there a 1/2 ton ball joint that’s a large OD to fit the 3/4 size? Any...

    Carrier & gear ?’s

    So if I have a 12 bolt truck rear with a series 3 carrier and I want to put in a 3.73 ring gear, then it has to be a thick ring gear and pinion set, correct?

    77 C10 cab work

    When I got this truck it didn’t the outer rocker backing plates (?) or inner rockers. They were apparently rusted off. I installed a new outer rocker on the LH side. The first image below shows the outer rocker installed with the outer rocker support (? If that’s what it’s called) semi in...

    Carrier ID

    No, I’m saying, how do I identify just a carrier, the series and style? Which markings do I use?

    Carrier ID

    Hey guys, Is there a chart online with carrier marking ID info? I’m looking for a carrier and have seen several but all I can get is the markings on the carrier and no other info. Any help?
