Re: 81 Chevy K10 ShortBed

Still driving the truck every day, getting 12-14mpg not as bad as I thought. New quadrajet carb really helped, tuned it for maximum vacuum and 14 degrees of timing. Last couple of weekends I finally fixed the oil pressure gauge, so now all the gauges work! Also readjusted the transfer case lever, so now it stays in 4x4.

I forgot to add a picture of the seat and interior all finished up.


Also I went to the local pick n pull and I scored a set of drip rails as mine went missing after it was painted 15 years ago I paid 9.50$ for them. I will get pictures of the install when I put them on in then next couple of days. Anybody have any tips?

I also got a picture of this beauty, just for clarification old vehicles still rust out here, just not as fast as you guys back east. Bondo was at least 3/4" thick lol.


And for another update, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on vintage air kit. The constant 100+ days are really starting to irritate me, and sitting in traffic a lot sucks with no air.


And hopefully sometime next year I will be getting 3.73 gears, Detroit locker for the back, and true trac for the front. I will have to have this professionally done, I don't have the required tools and most importantly skill's to do this.
