    Does a seal exist for my factory 1977 c10 sliding window

    I just pulled this seal out of my 1977 C10 Silverado. I'm 95% certain it was the factory because it's so beat-up and had the matching aged chrome lock strip. I've been finding mixed answers on what is the best solution for this fix. I don't have a preference whether it has the Chrome locking...

    SWAPPING 84 c10 body onto 84 k10 FRAME

    I’m buying a donor vehicle to swap the body onto my k10 frame … 84 c10 to 84 k10. my question is how will the hump in the cab be and what can I do to modify this without placing a body lift on the truck and everything else should bolt up I’m pretty sure. Could I also use the 2wd crossmembers...

Before this month it was wired awfully from the swap with a rat nest of unused wires hanging around under the dash. since its engine swapped and only has exterior lights, no blower radio dome light...

    Help me decide, paint the camper shell light blue or dark blue

    Ok guys, I need your help. Picked up this camper shell last week and cannot for the life of me decide which of my 2-tone colors to paint it. It's currently black. I did these completely professional photoshops :rofl: to see how it'd look in both colors. I like it both ways. I'm leaning...

    83 C10 Vacuum System [HELP]

    I inherited this truck with the vaccum hoses all over the place, some off, some seemed to have disappeared, maybe some stuff has been deleted? I did my best to try to figure out where the remaining hoses went and capped off the rest of the ports. How did I do? Can some of this stuff just be...

    Brake light opens when in R

    Hi, I just bought a 1981 chev very recently and I avoid driving it because of a slight issue. When I put it in reverse, 2nd or 1st gear, the brake light on the dash lights up for a second. I'd rather be safe than sorry, does anyone know what the issue could be?

    1979 k10 clutch sticks and only works half way

    So I just did an Ls swap on a 1979 k10 stepside. I put a 2005 5.3 with the original transmission which is a sm465. I had trouble with this before the motor swap but now I’m going to address it. You can push my clutch pedal halfway down before the clutch engages. And when you to lift your foot it...

    Gave away my LS

    I thought the title might grab attention lol, and this is my first thread. Anyways A couple years ago I parted out a Yukon with a 5.3 and planned to use it in my car. The more I thought about the more I decided I love the small block too much to go that direction. My mom still has the 69 c10...

    Hello from CA!

    Hey y'all, I've finally been able to get my hands on a C10 and I couldn't be any happier. This thing is so badass. I have a 1974 C10 with a 400 small block. I want to make it clear that I'm no mechanic whatsoever, but I'm capable of learning. The previous owner painted the truck black, but I...

    Free power mods on 305?

    Does anyone know how to squeeze any extra power out of the 305 in my c10? Like is there something I can adjust with the air intake or something that'd make a difference? Also I'm not necessarily looking for any huge improvements (I mean power costs money lol) but like even 5 more hp would be enough

    73-75 C10 mirror.

    73-75ish Chevy/GMC C10 sport mirror. In great shape, chrome is nice, glass is perfect. Just the one, can be either drivers or passengers just by rotating the housing. I have no use for it, figured someone might need it. Want it to go to use instead of it sitting in a bucket and risk breaking...

    Under hood, what was here?

    Wasn’t sure where to post this one , I scored some windshield washer nozzles at the junkyard and putting them on my 74 c10 hood I see this giant hole, was this for a factory under hood light perhaps? Aftermarket hood most likely so maybe a universal hole? Thanks

    Just put in a full carpet in my 74 c10 and wondering how the floor mounted highbeam switch it’s is supposed to be mounted, under the carpet or over the carpet. The utilitarian in me says the truck just had the switch mounted on top of the carpet with the two screws going down through it...

    52" VS 56" Rear Leaf Springs

    I have a 75 C10 Stepside and I'm changing the rear leaf springs. When I went online and purchased them from SD Springs, they only listed the 52" with a 4 leaf spring pack like I currently have. I "assumed" mine were 52" as all of the 56" had many more leafs. Okay, I admit I'm an idiot for not...
