83 C10 'burban
« on: August 24, 2014, 03:23:23 PM »
So this was my ride, 'til gas prices went too high. I moved it into my shed, took it out every couple of weeks to run it round the block. Went in one day to use it to go fetch a pile of wood, it wouldn't start, mice nested in the carburetor, mouse pee had rusted that sucker up, no amount of carb cleaner would fix. It's sat for maybe 5-6 years now. I want to start working on it again, and I'm thinking rather than pull the engine, could I just remove the Fenders, inner and outer as one piece? On either side, just so I can get at the block easier. I got a Holley 4360 to drop in it, want to make sure it's not seized, and if it is unsieze it.

Any instructions on removing the Fenders as a unit?

     Welcome from California.  Is it the G series ?  In our Tech section you will fine the manuals for all our trucks.

I'm afraid I don't know what a G series is?

      I have to admit I did not look hard enough.  Your sig is breadvan, so I assumed it was one of those step vans like they used to deliver bread in.  I now saw the header that said suburban.  My bad.

I used to own a Breadvan, but it was a Freightliner, not a Chevy. Seemed like an easy username.
