Build and modify your 1973-1987 GMC or Chevrolet truck in your garage with step-by-step processes to boost power, add curb appeal, and improve stopping ability, handling, safety, and more. GM’s square-body trucks are a solid, simple, and easy-to-find rig--and that makes them perfect for modification. They’re American classics, and they’ve become the hot rods of a new generation. Veteran magazine editor Jim Pickering brings these trucks into focus, taking you through the aspects that make them so popular and modifications you can perform to put a modern spin on their classic looks. He takes an in-depth look at all the major systems in your C10 and covers what can be done to them to turn your classic hauler into the modern hot rod that you want: a truck that’s fast, safe, full of curb appeal, and reliable enough to drive whenever and wherever you want. Built in massive numbers during an 18-year production run, these trucks aren’t hard to source, but finding a good starting point and mapping out your plan are important. This book covers a lot of territory: how to find a good starter truck, LS power builds and installs, slammed air suspension and coilover systems, automatic and manual transmission choices (including a 6-speed manual conversion), cooling system upgrades, safely adding a modern alternator to factory GM wiring, modifying a mechanical clutch pedal to use a hydraulic master and slave cylinder, making new fuel lines and brake lines to support fuel injection and big brakes, installing a 4-link rear suspension system, fabricating an under-bed mount to hide air suspension components, building exhaust, adding LED lighting, interior restoration, and more. If you're building a square-body truck that you’d actually like to drive regularly, you’ve come to the right place. There hasn’t ever been a more comprehensive, authoritative look at building a complete truck for street use that includes all the steps required to make it work.

For uninitiated readers--or those too young to recognize a Grateful Dead sighting--Chevrolet's C/K coding denotes model year 1960's two new pickup lines: C for conventional two-wheelers, K for their brawnier 4x4 counterparts. Showcasing many truck-market milestone moments, the lengthy C/K tale recounted in this book encompasses three generations: 1960-66, 1967-72, and 1973-87.The first-generation 1960 model year was launched in the fall of 1959 with a new body style and designation system. This new truck featured many firsts; the most important of these were a drop-center ladder frame that allowed the cab to sit lower and the change to independent front suspension, giving the trucks an almost car-like ride. The second-generation C/K debuted in 1967 with a major redesign that earned it the nickname among enthusiasts "Action Line." At this time, GM began adding comfort and conveniences to a line-up that had previously been for work purposes only. These trucks have proven extremely popular with collectors thanks to the attractive styling and excellent drivability. The third-generation debuted in 1973 and was produced through 1987. This generation had a total restyling. Due to a relatively smooth appearance created to encourage better aerodynamics and fuel economy, these trucks came to be known as the "Rounded Line" generation. The first three generations of Chevy's popular C/K pickups are the most popular, affordable, and collectible pickups on the market today. High production numbers means used parts are easy to find and there is a large aftermarket for reproduction parts.
