Dashpad Referb - Color Selection?
I haven't started yet. This is one of those projects where I would like to have all of my components (ex. paint) before I start, because it will go fairly quickly. I already have the foam, resin, and base paint (truck bed liner). -
Custom Door Lock Knobs
I write this post with my hands still oily from the machine shop. My black plastic door knobs are 39 years old. One of them broke apart in my hand when I tried to unlock the door when it got down to about 20 below a few weeks ago. After a few weeks of pulling on threads to lock and unlock my... -
Upgrading Your Blower Motor
Awesome, well I'll update the OP letting people know this is for '80 and before trucks. Wish someone with a newer truck would find an upgrade for theirs then we would have it complete for the series. Thanks for the digging guys! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Edit: Looks like I... -
Upgrading Your Blower Motor
Could be that they upgraded the fan motor with the facelift in '81. Could also be that it has the same cowling depth as the later '94 truck I mentioned in the OP. Could you measure the depth from the flange to the end of the squirrel cage? I'm worried that it's not the same as the earlier... -
Dashpad Referb - Color Selection?
Hey, I'm going to fix all the cracks in my dashboard using the method here: http://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/how-to-refurbish-your-dashpad.8614/ The pad was tolerable but recent cold weather put a crack straight down the middle of the passenger side and I got really fed up with it really... -
Upgrading Your Blower Motor
I'm going to go fix those IMG errors. That was me trying to link the pictures from Imgur (and failing). They're just the same pictures you see. If you want more pics of anything let me know and I can snap some. In the future I want to retrofit a cabin air filter too. I drive in dusty... -
Upgrading Your Blower Motor
'Afternoon fellas. This morning I went through the process of upgrading the blower in my '79 C20 standard cab long bed. I's been below 0 here for two weeks now (central Indiana) and the heater in my truck struggled to keep the cabin at a passable temperature on long interstate drives to and... -
High Hump Transmission Cover Fit Problem
A couple of years ago I did a transmission swap on my '79 C20 from the TH400 to the SM465. I pulled the 465 out of a truck that was going to be scrapped and got everything I needed for the install into my truck. I used a plasma torch to cut the hole in the low hump of my truck for the tranny and... -
Edelbrock intake fit?
Friends, The day has finally come. I've heard horror stories about the Rochester quadrajet from every Chevy guy I've ever met. My truck is running rich, so I ordered the long flexible adjustment tool to lean er up. It doesn't come in till next week, but it got me thinking. I HATE all the...- OneShot

New Custom Bench Seat!
Yeah it's some cloth that's supposed to not catch on your jeans. Black (fake) leather in the center and around the sides and back. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk -
New Custom Bench Seat!
The original seat in my '79 square had seen its last days. It's my DD so I had to get it replaced (or replace it myself ) but I'm also a college student so I had to get it done on the cheap. Ended up finding a guy on the south side of Indy that did the whole thing for just under $400. What... -

And can you expand on this please? What else would you need to do, and why is there no such thing as an RV cam anymore?- OneShot

Remanufactured Engine ID Nightmare!
This one is a 4 bolt main. What was the original nickel and tin content in the blocks anyway? The ones that were NOT said to have high concentrations of these. I'm an engineering major at Purdue and I have many friends who are chemical engineers. I'm sure I could bring them a sample of the metal...- OneShot

Remanufactured Engine ID Nightmare!
Alright glad to hear some of the history behind these blocks. He has an "RV" cam in it and stock heads as far as I know. I don't think he's ever had it on a dyno. So the block will accept L31 heads? The vortecs? If so there's a set local on Craigslist that have just been rebuilt for like $400...- OneShot

Remanufactured Engine ID Nightmare!
Okay, So assuming it was Jasper who rebuilt it - although it could have been anybody - would we just go to their website and try to look it up? Or call them? Certainly there is an online database with this kind of info in it. Also I don't think his has a snitch plug. I'll have to look...- OneShot

Remanufactured Engine ID Nightmare!
Greetings! A friend of mine has an '84 C10 that he bought from his uncle. Long story short, his uncle swapped in a 350 in the early 2000s but doesn't have the paperwork or anything from that time. We found the block casting number and it's 3970010... which could be anything... But we did...- OneShot

C20 Leaf Spring Problems
Awesome, thanks for the help. Now I just need to find a replacement leaf! For some reason I am having a hard time finding one. Maybe I should just go to pick-a-part or a junk yard and look... But I just went out and measured and they are 56"! Thanks for the info!- OneShot

C20 Leaf Spring Problems
Okay, gotcha. So it's just a clamp that goes around the springs. If I had the opportunity, could I swap a C30 spring pack in there and the other side?- OneShot

C20 Leaf Spring Problems
It's broken about 2" behind the center of the leaf. The front half stayed in place for some reason. I can post pictures here in a bit for clarification. Now that I look at it... the leaf just above it is bent a little bit. The main leaf. Is this a problem?- OneShot

C20 Leaf Spring Problems
So the other day I was installing dual exhausts on my '79 C20. When I was under there I noticed something... one of my leaf springs was sticking out into the back of my tire!! Okay thankfully upon further inspection it had been caught by the back of the brake drum (the non rotating part...- OneShot
