Re: 83 K10 Survivor Project

Decided on how to handle this project -
1. Suspension/Brakes/Exhaust
2. Body Work
3. Interior work

No engine/transmission in there, as I've decided to leave as-is for now. Just minor maintenance, starting with valve cover gaskets, A/C rebuild, and hoses/belts.

Today I checked that engine runs on both gas tanks. Seemed to work fine, a little extended cranking when switching but that's what I expected.

Here's the transmission. Looks like it had a major oil leak from the valve covers or rear intake gasket. Going to start tearing it apart next week and replacing them.


Any ideas on why the fuel gauge is on full? Suspect it might be a ground issue but not sure. Also, the volts gauge doesn't show any activity either, so need to figure that one out. Good oil pressure though.

Eventually I want to put these wheels/tires on it off my 2011 until I can have the original wheels powdercoated. The lugs aren't long enough, but they do fit. Will get new lugs pressed in.
