Thank you sir.
Should I just search for OEM clutch fans and R&R? I have zero experience with timing stuff, so I may have to take her in for that, but it sounds like that may be my biggest issue. What have you used for shield material? And if I swapped out the starter for a high torque new one, would I experience the same issue you think? I didn't even think about the o/d trans...
I appreciate everyone's warm welcome and help/input! Really do.
Found the truck on CL and it has lived in CA it's whole life. Original owner in Redding area, then bought about 8 years ago and lived in the Yosemite area. I will likely keep it as stock as possible, adding intake, maybe upgrade the exhaust (dual glasspacks right now, which sound great, but would like a more throaty sound), and possibly stereo/speakers but don't want to cut on the dash.

#1 - recommend go back to properly sized factory clutch fan
#3 - check dieseling solenoid on the carb and ensure initial timing properly set.
#4 - put the half-soup can shield between starter and the block. Don't see any, but no headers, correct?
#6 - what gear ratio are you seeking? Probably have a pretty decent one from the factory for the K10 with big tires added. Might be easier to add an o/d trans than swap both gearsets.
