    High beam, 4x4 and low range indicator lights

    Yes your truck should have a 4wd indicator. I started a thread here that goes over the harness for it and how it should function. For your highbeam indicator issue, I would start by looking at grounds. Never hurts to clean them up. Interior grounds are located on the parking brake peddle...

    Transmission sheet metal hump.

    @Darryl Bowen The center of the floor section is not being reproduced. The only place to source it is from an original floor section. As far as the floor goes, the bolt-in style stopped in 1983. You could swap in a bolt-in style from a 1981-1983 cab if you cut out enough of the floor around the...

    national parts depot

    I would look up local parts suppliers. I ended up buying my inner fenders at a body part store because the price was competitive with online stores without the insane shipping costs. It's worth the effort it takes to make some phone calls in your area with shipping approaching $100 for these things.

    Bench Seat Covers

    I'm planning on going through this Etsy shop. She does custom orders that turn out great. A bit pricey, but should last another 20 years.

    700r4+np208 swap

    Don't let the wiring of the 700R4 scare you. It is only 3 wires. One goes to the brake pedal, one to the vacuum switch on the firewall, and the third goes to an EGR vacuum device (you can omit this part). All the wiring does is control when TCC lockup occurs in 4th gear. You can grab a...

    Wiring, plugs, speedo cable

    The 700R4 you have appears to be a late model one with an electronic speed output (vss). The plug on the tail housing is for a wire connection. The stock transmissions in these trucks used a mechanical speedometer cable that has a spinning shaft inside the cable. Only the last couple years of...

    Help identifying these connectors

    The 4 plug connector is for a 700R4 auto transmission. It controls TCC lockup. Not sure why you have that as your post says you have a manual trans. The two plug connector looks like the 4wd indicator light connector.

    starter wires

    The single wire that runs to the choke is +12v. The choke itself grounds through the carb body. Many times on factory electric choke setups, there is a oil pressure switch that is in line with that +12v wire. The oil pressure switch doesn't pass through the +12v signal unless it detects a...

    starter wires

    So there are three sets of wires that go to the starter. One large black one that runs from the battery positive terminal down along the oil pan to the large post of the starter. Also connected to the large post on the starter will be two red wires that fuse together into one connector. These...

    WTH Are These Wires

    Those other two wires (yellow and red) look to be non-OEM to me. There should only be 3 wires going through the floor under the shifter and they should be white, grey, and black. I have a thread on what those wires are and where they go. Could be brake controller related as Turbo said, my vote...

    82 k10 fuse box

    Keep in mind that there a couple different iterations of this fuse block/plug. The the first version had glass style fuses. Then they transitioned to the newer blade style fuses in the late 70s I think. And at some point in the 80s a newer version came along that had more circuits. I think this...

    82 k10 fuse box

    My advice is go dig around in a yard and cut one out of a junk truck. These fuse blocks have two halves, the interior half bolts onto the firewall and the engine side bolts to the interior part that sticks through the firewall. Sit down with some of the diagrams of the interior half and try to...

    Fuel Filler Neck

    @LateOnTheBrakes LMC has the vent tubes back in stock although they are out of stock for the fill tubes if you need that as well.

    1986 crew cab 350

    Accelerator pump on the carb? When you punch the peddle it should squirt some fuel down the primaries to remove any 'lag' in the system. Timing could also be off.

    Bed Bar out of a 77 step side

    Know these are sought after and not real common anymore so thought I'd put it out there for the people looking for one. Not mine, just saw it and wanted to share. https://annarbor.craigslist.org/pts/d/ann-arbor-bed-bar-for-c10-or-k10/7130358922.html

    In Search Of...

    I have a complete cluster for an auto. It doesn't have the gear selector add on as I only have one of those but it is for an automatic truck. I'm not sure of what year truck it is originally out of. I came in my 83 c10 although it is the older font style with the 100 mph speedo. It has a clock...

    SBC 350 Fan shroud mounting

    Ah yeah that picture helps a bunch @jtridgley79 Looks like I need to find a new shroud upper at a minimum if not both pieces.

    SBC 350 Fan shroud mounting

    I'm having a difficult time figuring out how the fan shroud is supposed to be mounted on to the core support. I have a 3 core radiator and a 2 piece shroud. The bottom half of the shroud has been trimmed some by the PO to allow it to be removed with messing with the fan. The shroud doesn't seem...

    Fuel Filler Neck

    I'm interested in if you find another source for the tank vent hose as I'm also looking for one. I managed to get the filler neck for the driver's side 20 gallon tank from LMC but the vent hose was and still is on backorder. I will say that I noticed that the leftover heater hose I have seems to...

    90-91 gauge cluster

    I just finished rolling back my odometer. It's really not difficult at all. With the gauge out, pull the needle and face off. On the later speedo (85 mph) versions the needle is screw in. Mine came out without any issue. After that the odometer can be pulled off after removing a little slide...

    4wd indicator light wiring

    Wanted to come back and wrap up this thread for any future searches. The sub-harness for the 4wd system has 3 wires: Grey is the power for the illumination light on the floor mounted shifter. It has a green connector and plugs into the bottom left slot of the fuse block. It is keyed and will...

    4wd indicator light wiring

    I do have a 700R4. From everything I have read about it, everything that runs through that 4 slot connector to the trans is for convertor lockup only. At most, the connector will have 3 connections (depends on vehicle options how many are filled out). 2 of them are to "allow" lockup to occur if...
