    I’m doing a restoration on my original no rust truck and was going to mill some wood and and clean up the metal strips and repaint them black. Don’t have a lot of time to do all that so I was looking at these bed kits that include everything. Has anyone bought and used one of these kits? We’re...

    Taking my 87 short step 4X4 apart now and getting ready for paint, seam sealer was black (painted) on the surface, white underneath. Mine has never been apart or repainted and zero rust :driver: Just thought I’d jump in and share. Thanks

    My 1980 K20 with a Quadrajet left me stranded...help

    Back on the road, made it to Blythe. I found a real cool guy within walking distance of the truck, go figure, he took carb off and rebuilt it this morning. It had all kinds of charcoal inside. Runs like a top now....so far. Slept ( not much) in the cold cab last night, I’m bailing early today...

    My 1980 K20 with a Quadrajet left me stranded...help

    Did one of my fly,buy and drive hairbrain things, it’s very nice original truck with no rust. I think it sat for a bit but ran fair when I left the sellers house to drive 1400 miles home. Got stuck in traffic right away on the 210 freeway in San Bernardino, Calif. After about 20 miles it...

    Wondering if I could get some honest opinions

    5-6 grand, plus I’d want to know how many miles on the truck, not just the components. Those driveshaft angles make me a bit nervous.

    High idle help after replacing fuel pumps, 1988 K30, Original, TBI, 454.

    Thank you Dale for the info ! my homework confirms what you are saying about the higher than we like idle, I cringe when I start it on a cold morning. I only have 22,000 original miles on mine but I’m thinking about pulling that engine and going back in with a 580 HP, pump gas big block. Just...
