    84 OEM Cruise Control

    Does anyone have a diagram or pictures of the OEM cruise control for an 84 K10? We have now dubbed this truck "Frankenstein's Monster" since it seems to be an assembly of unrelated parts! The steering column is a mess and needs complete rebuilding and it has a lever for cruise control but we...

    Converter Lockup?

    On my 84 K10, I am having the 700R4 rebuilt and the mechanic asked me if I wanted to change the converter lockup to a one wire system. He says it is one wire that goes to a toggle switch on the dash and it will only lock up the converter in 4th gear (overdrive). Is this a good idea? Your...

    Can't identify the engine!

    I have searched as well as I know how and can't identify the engine in my 84 K10! The Engine ID stamped on the pad on the passenger side front reads "V0705DDM". I really would appreciate any help! Thanks. I FOUND THE ANSWER! Someone has changed the engine. The VIN calls for a 350 and the...

    Lifted '84 K10 speedometer

    That's very generous of you Joshua. Not sure what I need yet. Now, I am considering changing the gears in the differentials. Do you or anyone else have a recommendation as to what gear ratio would bring performance back to near stock with the 35" tires? The differentials are the original 8.5"...

    Lifted '84 K10 speedometer

    Thanks to you all. You folks are amazing! I was mistaken and the Transfer Case is in fact a 208 C. If it is aluminum, it sure is heavy! Bucket, thanks for the cooler idea. It has a brand new one that is almost half the size of the grille opening. Will that be enough for daily driving in...

    information on running gear of 1984 K10

    Thanks Grit Dog, I am learning a lot I bought this truck from the widow of the original owner and she knew nothing about it. It is a rust free Arizona truck in pretty good shape for a 38 year old vehicle. I will check out that GM site. How can I tell if it has a part time kit? is it...

    information on running gear of 1984 K10

    Hi! Me again. Trying to learn more from the Forum Gurus. The 1984 K10 that I recently bought seems to have all of the original running gear but I don't know if that is correct. The engine is a 305 built in late 1983 and matches the VIN. The Auto Trans is a 700R4, again built in late 1983...

    Lifted '84 K10 speedometer

    Thanks Joshua! I have the 203 transfer case and not a 208 Does that make a difference? Sorry, I read your comments on my phone and misread the number. I see now that it is related to the 203. Your advice is greatly appreciated Where should I go to purchase the proper gears? MY BAD, IT IS...

    Lifted '84 K10 speedometer

    On my '84 K10 that I just bought, I am having the 700R4 rebuilt and I have a question for you guru's. The Truck is running the original 203 transfer case with a stock 3.08 ratio rear BUT, the PO lifted it and added 35 x 12.50 R20 tires and wheels. I assume this makes the speedometer read...

    700R4 or 4L60?

    Thanks, Dutch. The person who recommended the 4L60 is in fact a "crusty guy at a reputable transmission shop" here in Phoenix, AZ. He says the cost is about the same and it's a waste of money to rebuild the '84 700R4. one more thing, down the road, I plan on a warmed up 350 or small block 400.

    700R4 or 4L60?

    Upon further inspection, I find the PO lied and I have a 305 c.i. engine with a 203 transfer case in my 1984 K10. The original 700R4 is toast and no remanufacturer or rebuilder will take it as a core. now, I am told that the newer the transmission I buy, the better. The recommendation is to...

    Smog Pump Required?

    I just purchased a 1984 K10 with the 350c.i. engine and auto transmission. This truck came from a non-inspection area of Arizona and I live in Maricopa County which requires smog checks annually and OEM equipment. This truck has no smog equipment and I don't know what it would have had when it...

    which 700R4?

    I have a 1984 K10 4WD with a 350 c.i. engine and matching 700R4 transmission. The transmission is toast! Will one of the improved later model 700R4's such as 1987 or 1988 be a direct, plug and play swap or do I need to change something? You sage advice is greatly appreciated!
