1983 K10, Shannons truck. ***UPDATE POST #418***

With some trimming to the lower, she got the shroud in. Can sit and run all day at 180 now.




Then today we took it for a nice fall color tour cruise and got lots of nice fall shots.

Happy running truck = smiley girl.











 
Nice! :bow: Looks like you are a week or so behind us, color-wise. Last year at this time we discovered (accidentally) that we could make fall happen twice if we timed a road trip just right. Looks like you found the only time and place where that truck is camouflaged. :haha:

pic 2: Is that the the steering wheel's natural (straight) position? :screwy:

Are those wheels running spacers, or are they just that wide? :eek1:
 
Yeah thats straight position. Could use an alignment im sure.

And they are just that wide lol.
 
don't waste your time .

tape measure and her for the extra hand . set toe your self .

then count # of turns left / right to make sure steering box is centered . if not adjust drag link till . this will not effect toe set.

and a lot of alignment shops wont be able to fit / read sensors with tire/rim combo that wide .
 
Definitely!

On a side note, does anybody have a heater blower motor kicking around that works? Shes trying to save cash, but no blower motor kinda brings the suck during the fall lol.

I've got one. It's in a truck I'm scraping so you can have it. AC cab right?
 
I picked up a brand new one from Autozone for like $13 this spring.

Her truck is looking pretty good! M22 was a bit green last weekend, you should catch it at the perfect time if you head up there this weekend!

Yessir! Does it work?

Yeah, it worked before I started tearing the truck apart. But..if they are only a few dollars at the parts store it may be cheaper to go that route vs. getting mine across the state.

FWIW: I'll be going on the BundyHill run and could bring it with me, but I doubt you want to wait 3 weeks for it.
 
and if new route there is a upgraded part # to use . gets more flow of air .

been talked about on here a few times in the past .

We are hoping to come. Just gonna run down in the sonic though if we do. Bring it if ya can. $15 or whatever is $15 at the end of the day lol.
 
I have a few used blower motors hanging around,most were replaced because they squealed like a stabbed pig on low speed when the truck was cold ,and I kept one or two that were good for spares from GM cars I parted out..

--I've never needed to replace one that died completely though--a few that I thought seized up turned out to have drinking straws or pencils stuck in the blower wheel,(or a rats nest !)--or the resistor was toasted...one I had was bound up tight,but after I removed it and sprayed it with some WD-40 and got the fan to spin again,it started working again and never gave me any trouble afterwards..
