1971 K-10 Slushbox to Standard - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys I purchased a 1971 K-10 basketcase 6 months back. To make a long story short I have ate slept and breathed this truck since I have purchased it. The truck was in total pieces when I purchased it and a few more months it will be back on the road. I installed a SM 465 behind my SBC 400 with no problems other than drilling a hole in the block for the clutch pivot. I am in dire need of a 4 wheel drive clutch rod. I have played the game of welding and extending clutch rods before and do not want to go this route. So I am reaching out to you guys to see if anyone has one since they can't be purchased new. Also I am looking for some of the plastic factory spark plug wire loom holders that snap in the brackets on the rear of the intake.
Thanks

You'll need to pay the subscription fee in order to ask to buy parts on here. something you might consider is a hydraulic clutch. Board member Captainfab sells the parts to convert to one over in the parts side of this board. You can use a novac slave cylinder that mounts to the stock iron bell housing(no need to switch to a later model bell housing) just food for thought. Welcome to the board from a fellow 4x4 guy, and we love pictures around here.

I wasn't aware that I needed to pay to ask for parts I will take care of that. I restored a 1970 Chevelle bout 10 years ago and I installed a hydraulic clutch in it and to be honest I hate the feel of it. As far as pics go I will try to upload some I am new to the site as far as posting things go so ill give it my best.

I have a 71 blazer with your transmission I'm getting rid of. If you become a member I can sell you all that stuff.
