    Steering stabilizer K30 install

    My apologies, completely missed the actual question. I will look at mine tonight but do believe that stud seats all the way into the drag link. More to follow!

    Parking Brake Mechanism Question

    Just had mine apart last night! Not sure about the spring in question, but I was able to find a replacement for the other at one of my more stocked hardware stores. As long as it it tight when installed and stretches the entirety of the travel you'll be fine.

    Steering stabilizer K30 install

    I can take a peek at mine tonight, just installed it recently as well. At any rate I would think there is some play there as long as you keep an eye on lose play every once in awhile. I've removed shocks that looked damn near like they were at 45 degree angles!

    Finally got extended/suitable emergency brake cables onto my rear wheels.

    It may have originally, but nothing was left. I swapped to a 14 bolt axle so really just making it up as I go. I can update here as I go!

    Very nice bezels from Holley website for cheap

    Gotcha. These are the same though, they were being sold on Ebay by Holley.

    Finally got extended/suitable emergency brake cables onto my rear wheels.

    First this is in large part thanks to member "Legopneumatic" who helped me figure this all out! My truck is extremely lifted and the stock e-brake cables coming from the backing plate were unusable. Tonight I finally got around to fixing this. The cables I used are Raybestos part #BC93256...

    Very nice bezels from Holley website for cheap

    When I bought mine they actually had them for several year ranges as well as AC and non-AC models. May want to cruise the site!

    Very nice bezels from Holley website for cheap

    Waited u til I installed it to make a recommendation. They have ac and non-ac bezels for around 40 bucks. If you search the part number you'll fine them being sold by them on Ebay with free shipping! Very nice bezels and everything lined up as it should. I'll share pics tomorrow...

    E-brake options after BIG lift?

    Wow, great feedback thanks! I like the idea of the 85 cables you showed and could get matching lengths for each side depending on how much I need. The end that goes into the axle looks like it is push in rather than the bolt-on bracket mine has, but I believe I could make it work by fabbing...

    E-brake options after BIG lift?

    I was thinking that too, and if so if they would be strong enough to shave to the proper orientation and still have enough material. And yes, 14-bolt floater with a Dana 60 up front!

    E-brake options after BIG lift?

    Any reason a pair of these wouldn't work? Don't recall what things looked like inside the drums for the parking brake. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGLDFWBT/

    E-brake options after BIG lift?

    I have a 205 and live in Missouri. From what I've gathered anything that will stop your vehicle from rolling at idle will work. Never heard of a driveline brake though, will research.

    E-brake options after BIG lift?

    Thanks! The sky is the limit for routing cables as the PO only left me the parking brake pedal itself....

    Turn Signal Issues

    I just fought this on my '76 K10. Looks like I get to be the first to say it, but check your grounds. I added a frame, motor, cab and bed ground strap and it fixed a lot of these issues. If you are hearing clicking in the relay with turns and 4-ways there is something wrong with either the...

    Steering box lash adjustment etc.

    Odd, I just rebuilt a 4wd and 2wd box and didn't have to do any of that. Guess I got lucky!

    E-brake options after BIG lift?

    Whoooo those are pricey! Thanks! Wouldn't address the issues at my axle though unless I installed 2 of them.

    E-brake options after BIG lift?

    Thanks! It is probably lifted a little over a foot, so would have to be a very noticeable extension.

    E-brake options after BIG lift?

    I am trying to find a solution for extending the e-brake cables coming from the rear drums. This is a '78 K10 but I installed 1-ton axles. 1. This truck is lifted VERY high. I've read a lot about getting these for 4-6" lifts but I'm going need more than that. 2. I also would prefer not to do...

    More Washer Pump Questions

    Honestly that would be your quickest and cheapest fix. You can get resevoir/pump combos on Amazon for 15 bucks, then you just run power to that pump and pull the wire from your squirter motor to ground it (turn it on). Too easy. Here's a link to one that has everything you'd need...

    Any explicit help on removing AC components and keeping heat?

    Thanks much! I ended up changing to the original heat-only system. I get your point; but absolutely HATE trying to maintain AC in older vehicles.

    Heater Hose Routing

    I just did this, and it changes between models and transmissions. My '78 K10 is a manual and stated smaller bottom heater hose (5/8 pushing coolant to the heater core) from the intake manifold and larger top return hose (3/4) straight back to the water pump. I think it would work either way...

    Any explicit help on removing AC components and keeping heat?

    I ordered it on Amazon, but on a whim today I went to a junkyard and found a donor truck with EVERYTHING I need.... It was almost intact and wasn't even listed on their inventory, guessing that's why it is relatively untouched.

    Kill Switch - once again

    I would run separate from your factory horn with an ignition hot wire. In fact I would consider a set of air horns. No one is not going to hear those if you're truck is getting stolen! EDIT: Dang, someone beat me to it!

    Need help with 81 c10 radiator

    If you don't get the pics you need let me know. My truck's radiator and supports are pretty accessible.

    Any explicit help on removing AC components and keeping heat?

    Well guys after debating cost and work involved I just ordered an under the dash auxiliary heater. Getting the right parts, even salvage, would have cost more.
