I recently acquired a newly reman 5 speed out of a 97 1500 and want to put it in my 65 to replace my old 4 speed. Don't know if any of you have tried something like that. It looks like I will have to remove the e brake crossmember to make it fit and the trans crossmember mounts toward the...

Looking for a power steering pump bracket for my 65 c10 w/ L6 292. Appreciate any any advice. Thanks, Matt

I have a 65 C10 2wd and am looking to swap to a 4wd frame. I found a 1983 K20 suburban donor but unsure of total length of it. The info I found said the wheelbases were almost the same and I know I'll have to fabricate the mounts. What do you think? Also I went to go rent a tractor on a...

Wanting to go with power steering but am having trouble finding a PS pump that will mount on to my straight 6 292. Will any later model chevy PS set ups work with what I have? Thanks, Matt

My 65 c10 has a 4 speed manual trans. I don't currently have reverse lights but was wanting them. Can they be added to my truck and how? Thanks, Matt

Hey, guys, been gone for a while but am back after it. I just had my straight six rebuilt and now I'm ready to travel. I know most guys want to go bigger but I just like that lil six. I would like to move the gas tank to the rear and was wondering if there were used ones out there (what...

I just got my lady back on the road after my "custom mix and match" front disc upgrade (if I'd found you guys before I started buying parts you could have saved me several headaches by getting a kit). Put new wheels and tires on her and she looks to be coming to life finally. Problem is that...

My old exhaust pipe is run under all the crossmembers and each place is pretty crimped down from bottoming out. Will this cause problems until I can get it fixed? Also right now I have a 292 L6 w/ manual transmission. I want to eventually get a 350 V8 and auto trans. If I redo the exhaust...

About ready to get her back on the road, and had a little question for you guys. My current heater/fan switch is a pull knob. I have seen a console w/ the three levers and was wondering if the two were interchangeable. The lever one has three cables it looks like and mine has only one...

Doing disc brake swap on my 65. This leaves me with 5 lug on front and 6 lug in back. What is the easiest way to convert the rear axle so they will be the same. Do I want to put disc on the rear as well? PS How do you have to pry to get those old ball joints out. I'd hate to hurt my...

Recently bought 65 lwb stepside 2wd and interested in converting to 4wd. Looking for solid frame and working 4wd equipment. You guys are great! Thanks, Matt.

It's my first time on today and you guys have lots of great info. I recently bought a 65 long bed stepside 2wd and want to beef it up to 4wd. Was wondering the "easiest" route to get there-frame swap w/ 4wd already on it or replacing what is already on this frame. If a frame swap is better...
