Hello
 

I just got a 1986 C10. It was my Father-in-laws and my wife and I just bought it from him.

I started off on Reddit asking about the engine (5 liter/305) knocking and only running on premium (timing). Then I asked about the driver side door being hard to shut and somebody posted a link over here to a thread about 1/2" pex tubing. Thanks kind stranger. The doors work much better now. So I signed up.

I just did a search here about the ashtray and learned how to take it out. I still had one of the springs so I put it back and now the ashtray stays up. You guys have helped me out twice already and I've only been here 2 days.

I'll be taking it to my local mechanic to sort the timing and get the AC working next week. Then the week after I have an appointment with the local detail shop to give it a good clean. I'm really digging this truck.

Does my breath stink? Do I have body odor? Have I broken some rule?

Re: Hello
 

Something in my teeth?

Re: Hello
 

Welcome. Yes it's the teeth, but not yours. It's the flywheel teeth. :-) The welcome area doesn't get much activity, I didn't see much going on over here when I first posted either. Post some pictures of your truck over on the The 1973 - 1987 Chevrolet & GMC Squarebody Pickups Message Board area. Just a brag thread with pictures, we would love to see the whole truck, engine, etc. and see if anybody reacts and welcomes you better.

Re: Hello
 

Welcome to the board.
Hope you get that AC fixed.
It will come in handy soon.
If you post pics in the link below you will get lots of response.
