    Power Window Relay Mod

    I read about this upgrade on ck5.com about 2 years ago and finally got around to trying it this week. I've tried just about everything else: cleaning/lubing tracks, new motors, and even replacing the regulators with new ones from Classic Parts; but this has been by far the biggest improvement...

    Power Steering Pump

    Has anyone here rebuilt their power steering pump? I'm wondering how hard this is and if there are any tricks I should know before I take mine apart. My hydroboost system has always had the common seeping problem, but lately it seems to have gotten a little worse. I ordered a new set of AC...

    good dyes for seats?

    I have a pair of seats from an '87 Suburban I want to put in my truck. The seats are blue (velour w/ vinyl back) and my interior is black. There are no rips or tears, only the padding in two of the armrests needs to be replaced. I just spent a lot of money converting my truck to a diesel, so...

    Taking apart seat tracks

    Has anyone taken apart or know how to take apart seat tracks? I bought some bucket seats from an '87 K20 Suburban to put in my C10. I also got the tabs for the front inner corners of the seats. But the problem I've found is that the tracks are different in the rear. The Burb's tracks...

    center console latch

    I bought a center console from a '82 Blazer to put in my truck when I install bucket seats. I've taken apart standard latches on glove boxes, but this is the first locking one I've dealt with. I dont have the key, which I've heard is needed to remove the latch. Anyone know if this is true...

    Painting interior door panels

    I just bought a pair of old door panels so I could upgrade my truck to power windows/door locks. The only problem is that the panels are grey, whereas the rest of my interior is black. I bought some vinyl paint, cleaned them with some diluted detergent (as the paint reccommends) and painted...

    Adjusting Electric Choke

    I had my carb rebuilt recently and now my truck is having trouble in the mornings. The engine runs smoothly until I put it into gear, if I dont give it some gas it will stall and it has trouble accelerating. I already took it to my mechanic once to adjust the choke, but now that I'm going back...

    2 piece driveshaft removal

    I need to replace the driveshaft bearing on my truck. I know I need to take the driveshaft into a machine shop to get it pressed on, but how do I remove it? I've taken off the rear piece, but it still has the molded plastic retainer type U-joints on the front section. Would it be possible to...

    8 lug conversion

    i'm planning to replace my 5 lug 10 bolt rear with a 8 lug 14 bolt FF axle over the summer. What's the cheapest way to convert the front end to 8 lugs? Is there any difference between the spindle on my truck and a C20? (I know the wheel bearings and ball joints are different) I looked in the...

    4.3L fan shroud

    I was wondering if Chevy Duty sells the fan shroud for a 4.3L engine. Looking in your catalog I didn't see any that matched what I am looking for, a 2-piece 6 cylinder. I need the upper half (mine's on duct-tape life support::7 ). thanks, Craig

    carb rebuild

    I've been looking into rebuilding the carbuerator on my truck, so I emailed a company called carbs only for info/ a kit. Only they told me they couldn't find a rebuild kit for my carb (17083502) even though they had the carb # listed, and that not even AC Delco makes a kit for it. x( They...

    leaf springs

    I recently bought some leaf springs off a junked '75 3/4 ton chevy for my '85 C10. They look to be in pretty good shape but I still need to replace the old rubber bushings with some new poly bushings. I'm wondering what's the best way to remove the old bushings?
