Things you hate about our trucks

[FresnoK5er]

The worst thing is the weak frames at the steering box. I have broke mine 3 times so far twice with the reinforcement plates on the frame. My father broke his 77 2wd silverado at the box twice.

LOL, I forgot about the trampoline seat!

My buddy pulled kis 77 K10 into the parking lot, turned left and his whole steering box ripped right off the frame and he hit a colt vista station wagon

the turning radius of these trucks isn't the best.
the headliner likes to give in to the law of gravity--but, i guess anything 30 yrs old will eventually.
to get picky, there is a bolt that holds the door hinges on the cab that must be removed from under the dash, after removing the kick panel and after many curse words.

The awful quality dashpads that don't hold up!

[oldwhity]

Both of mine have all these little noises inside the cab. Most of them sound like they're coming from inside the dash and the air blowing through the window seals.

At least you would be getting some good highway mileage lol.

[luke6016]

i definetly dont like the weak hoods, the weak doors, and i hate the hard to cure frame flex on my k10

[VileZambonie]

The vent window air leaks are a big one! I almost forgot about that.

[cubicdollars]

Every single truck like this has had window leaks dang it drives me nut's. Does the wing window delete wistle as well?

[FresnoK5er]

I put new wind wings on my truck and I DO NOT open them EVER. That should help the seals last longer.

[farmallgray]

I think the cab should be longer for more leg room.  It's hard to get an aftermarket seat that fits well.  And the biggest thing, how easy they rust 

X2!!!

And I never open my vent windows either.

I know if I was searching on the net for info on these trucks and came across this thread I sure wouldn't buy one.  Keep it coming, that will more available for us when they pass them by.

[fitz]

 I would have to go with the 10 bolt rear and the 700R4.

My personal truck? The A/C not working and the bonded title haha. In general though- the fact that GM did not keep any sort of record about wiring schematics for particular year/model/features etc... The dimensions of the factory am/fm cassete making it hard to install cd player. And yeah, the "trampoline seat" that someone mentioned. Especially because the driver's side foam on mine has a chunk missing, so I drive kinda tilted to the left, so when I go over a dip I feel like I'm about to f-ing rocket launch out the window! Haha. And oh! How about new bench seats costing 1000 bucks?! I could buy a whole new set for my living room for that much!!!! And yeah, I'm not wild about the turning radius. It takes a few tries to get it right in the parking lot if the whole week I've been driving my Civic, Shadow, or my wife's Neon...

Im sure someone mentioned it, but... the dash cracks. Its like written in stone somewhere at the GM headquarters. If you have one of these, thou shalt have a cracked dash. You know, at one point or another. I have replaced the dash before in one that i sold but i have never even seen one that did not have a cracked dash. Perfect example of the sheer magnitude of this flaw -  My next door neighbor's dad bought one of these trucks brand new and garage kept it. He was one of those people that takes very good care of his vehicles, almost to a fault. AND, he worked nights so the truck saw much less daylight than most all others. Not to mention they had covered parking there. Guess what he had? Several large dash cracks.  It must be just cheap materials because cavaliers are the same way.

But the other day i was looking back at some of my dad and grandad's pics of these old trucks, (which they bought new) and i thought... man i wish my truck was in that good of shape.
