The Bent77 K10 now tow pig

[70jimmy]

early days of gm trucks our vintage you could get factory skid plate . 2 crossmembers and a thick plate between the 2 . and a set of L-brackets on the rear one if it was a short bed or blazer to hold the 2nd crossmember .

My 74 had this also, both crossmembers attached to the frame.

Where you moving too? Just a new house in the same area? I have been moving for the last 3 days til midnight each night and I still have all my garage stuff to do and a ton of stuff to do at the new house.

About 40 miles north. Just enough to have to pack.

I really hate moving

Me too...when I moved up here in Nov my work paid to move me which was way nice. This time I'm moving 10 miles which sucks. Only thing I got going for me is that we got cleaned out and hallway packed still from the move in Nov. The worst is when you are somewhere for a long time and then move.

That's us. We put an equal number of bags on the curb for trash, on the porch for donations, and boxes packed

Well I hope it all goes well for you. At least you get a chance to purge all of the crap out that you have accumulated. This is my 5th and final move in the last 3 1/2 yrs. I'm down to only what I need. Is this a good move? Like closer to work and stuff and a better house?

 

[Bent77]

I do Service out of a van, so it doesn't effect me there. Bigger house, less people. I will be allowed to keep my dog

Newish magic spark maker
Thanks @Justin V

 

[mrk5]

Bigger alternator?

 

[Bent77]

Yep. Have to ask Justin what the amperage was

The old 55A one crapped the bed coming home from Moab. Stops charging above 3000 RPM

 

[mrk5]

You need 105a

 

[Bent77]

Was stamped 97A on the case

 

[mrk5]

It'll do. Don't talk on the CB at the same time you're listening to the radio

 

[Bent77]

Sure thing. That's probably what killed the old one

 

[mrk5]

No a/c either

 

[Bent77]

Has 2n40

 

[mrk5]

I can only manage 2n30 on the passes.

 

[Bent77]

That's getting fixed though

I keeps on tellin' ya'll that you need a CS130 or 144....
Old Bruiser holds 14 volts at low idle...
And only drops to 13.5 with the lights on..
