Do i need a special kind for a zz4, because i thought the bore was different. and with a edelbrock intake on my 350, what carb should i get? i know a lot of people recommend holley and holleys truck avenger carb. Not sure what to get and there's a swap meet this Friday to Sunday so i wanna pick up a couple things.

Re: Schni's Blue 1983 K10
Could'nt figure out why the running lights were not working. Had a buddy check and he found it right away. It needed a new interior fuse (never thought that would cause the running light to not work) and the bulbs were in the opposite way.

Re: Schni's Blue 1983 K10
Think im gonna order my new tires today. Any thoughts on Mickey thompson baja mtz tires? Im getting 35x12.50x15. I had a set of 33's for a couple months on a old truck and liked em, but never got out to really test them before I sold it to get my k10. I think im keeping the ralley rims, thoughts on stock or new rims?

Re: Schni's Blue 1983 K10
The truck is in the body shop, getting a lot done. Its getting all the cabs rust repaired. front fender re welded and aligned (fender bracket snapped due to bad cab mount). misc rust fixed on truck, painting and installing a tailgate, new windshield, new cab supports, cab mounts, and floor boards.
