    question about gmc vs chevy

    I recently purchased a 1984 GMC Sierra 1500, I know that Squarebodys made by GM are pretty much the same besides the badges and I was wondering if i would be considered "wrong" if i put chevy emblems on my GMC truck, I simply like the bowties and prefer it more, Let me know... thanks

    78 k10 starter problem

    I’ve got a 78 k10 bonanza and the starter has given me hell. Most of the time it works fine but sometimes it will be turning over and clunk and disengage. I’ve tried different shims. Could it be timing? Flywheel destroyed? The truck sat for over 10 years before I bought it non running.

    First time doing a restoration and I've got champagne expectations and beer money. But this truck has a good body to start with. I'm wanting to keep it as close to original as possible. Except for the running boards and bug shield that grabs my shirt every time I walk by it.
