    Rough Idle and Stalling

    Apologies in advance, this may be rather long. I have a 1984 K10 that has a rough idle and stalls. I’m not an expert at this by any means, but I bought the truck 3 years ago and have done all maintenance and repairs, except for rebuilding the transmission, which I felt was well beyond my...

    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...

    1986 Rare Build sheet? Tell me what you think!

    Hi all. I am new to the group! I purchased a 1986 K10 from my dad, who chose all of the specs when he ordered it in 1985. It currently has 54000 original miles. From my research, I am yet to find another truck with similar specs! So I’m curious if it’s fairly rare, or more common than I think...

    Looking at a 1984 and have questions

    I want to pick everyone's brain. So, got a chance to look at what I'm calling Lil Red last night. I want to buy it. My wife not so much. Especially if I get it for $2500 or less. He needed to pour fuel directly into the carb, but once it was running, it ran just fine. I didn't feel anything...

    Edelbrock 1405 carb running rich

    I have a 1978 Chevrolet K10 with what appears a bone stock 350. It originally has a quadrajet carb that severely needed rebuilt.

    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.
