@JamesSam this is a ridiculously easy radiator to replace. I had no idea how bad mine was until I actually pulled it out. It was leaking from several places.
And they still make quality copper brass units that are a direct fit and modifications required

I loaded all the scarp mower parts for a run to the dump this weekend. We have built a few racing mowers in my shop, and I needed to clean up the failure pile before it got in the way of winter snow clearing.

Loaded up the K10 with scrap metal today. I've been having issues with the divorced choke, not opening all the way. So I disconnected it and it ran way better on the highway, and used less fuel. I am going to try one of those electric conversions

Been working on converting my GMC to actually have GMC badging.

Picked up a grille and clean tailgate panel for $130 from a swap meet and restored the grille.

Workong on restoring the tailgate panel right now too but no pictures of it

What year is it exactly? '84?

I'm just curious since I've got a 76 with an 80s front clip. Figured this would hold me over until I do a front end swap in the future.
83-84 there is one on eBay looks in worse shape for 400 right now so I think you got a deal

Noticed my turn signal/cruise stalk was loose. Looking thru old pics and noticed that there is a cut out in the lockplate that accepts a round tab from the plastic lock plate cover. Hmmm...

Looks big enough to get to the screw without taking the lockplate off.

Yup ! Still had to take the wheel off.

Dunno if it will hurt since the turn signal lever screw goes in to plastic but I put some blue loctite on it.

Bonus pics of horn spring, horn button (metal) and the plastic retainer, and the line up marks on the steering wheel and steering shaft.
