Chevrolet C10 Parts

The Chevrolet C10 was introduced in 1967 that retained its low-center chassis and suspended rear axle. The Chevy C10 features an automatic transmission and two-tone paint. Many improvements were made to the powertrain, and a big-block V8 was offered for the first time in 1968. After 1969, GM switched entirely to Chevrolet engines for C/K trucks including the Turbo-Thrift 250 which was also known in truck parlance as the High Torque 250. It had the same 98.4 mm bore and a 90 mm longer stroke, increasing cylinder capacity to 4.1L. The "integrated" cylinder head and intake manifold provide higher torque, lower fuel consumption, and smoother, quieter operation. The 4.3L engine was upgraded to a Small Block V8 in 1986 and 1987, and the rear main shaft oil seal was changed from two parts to one in 1986. In 1992, the 4.3L engine block was modified to allow the installation of a balancer shaft. Although the 4.3L is a powerful V6, the 90-degree position is not ideal for handling. The balance shaft is located above the camshaft and passes through the center of the balancing chamber.

Although the Chevrolet C10 is favored for its car-like appearance and moderate towing capabilities, it can present significant issues, particularly if it serves as your primary mode of transport. The first major issue is engine failure, often indicated by unexplained whining noises, engine misfiring, or hard starting. As the problem progresses, fuel economy can suffer, and the Check Engine Light may come on. Regular checks of the spark plug, air filter, oil filter, serpentine belt, crankshaft gear, and engine mount by professionals can preempt these issues, particularly if there's a noticeable loss of acceleration power. The second problem is braking failure, a critical issue with potential safety implications. Symptoms include persistent and intensifying noises during braking, poor brake response, and a pulsating brake pedal. Prompt inspection of the brake pad set, brake disc, brake drum, and brake rotors is essential when such symptoms appear. Routine maintenance is key to the C10's longevity, particularly for parts like the windshield wiper, fog light, headlight, and antenna, which provide visibility under harsh conditions and contribute to a safe and comfortable driving environment.
