    1982 C30 custom deluxe single rear wheel

    hey I’m new here and I’m really trying to find out more about my truck. It’s a single rear wheel 1982 c30 (supposedly) with 4 speed Manual and a 350 under the hood. It used to be a refinery truck so it did a lot of idling in its life. But I am curious, when I look up the VIN it says it’s an 82 1...

    Frame Reinforcement for 1/2 ton frame

    I have a 78 k10 frame I picked up to use as the base for my build. It was super clean (which is kinda rare up here in central NY). I've already done most of the chassis work to it, including 1-ton rear end, Dana-60 in the front and some other suspension modifications. My question is, how much...

    1987 Chevrolet 350 tbi high idle

    I figure this has been discussed before but I haven’t found a definite answer, I’ve got a 1987 Chevrolet V20 with a 350 tbi paired to a sm465, and it idles around 2000 on a cold start and comes down to around 1200-1400, I’ve never got it to get below 1000. If I’m rolling to a stop and put it in...
