1973 to 1987 the differences will be the windows and trim some of them had wing windows and some did not.

SOURCE: I already removed the fuel tank and I need to know

There is either a ring you rotate by tapping with a drift, or a ring of screws. Then the whole ssending unit plate comes off.

SOURCE: 1982 Chevy K10 Fuel Problems

Check to see if timing belt is broken. or wiring to crank-shaft sensor and check sensor itself on front of flywheel typically but may be on side of block usually the further towards the transmission is Crank and closer to front is cam sensor.

Check relays by switching from others of the same numbers.
Crank-shaft positioning sensor is bad perhaps.
Remove plug under vehicle that leads to fuel pump and check for voltage when key is turned on. if voltage is there is either defective fuel pump, was put in wrong or is harness from that point to the pump.
try banging the tank with hammer as someone turns key on.
 check harness from fuel pump to where it goes into the body - remove from body plug and inspect.
Should be either and or both a fuel pump relay and fuse! 
Run 12 volts to the positive side of the fuel pump wiring to see if pump is good. 3 wires usuallly  1 is ground for both the fuel guage and the other positive for the pump. and other is positive for the fuel pump guage and these two wires for the guage will show some resistance. put a fuse inline with the 12volts to the fuel pump positive but cut the line to the body prior to this - temporarily.
Could be bad switch in ignition unit in steering column but doubtful.

Hope this helps.

Check to see if the lever activated by the temperature control cable is actually moving when you move the control. Maybe a stuck valve in the heating system.

I have a 1976 chevy chyenne super , and my problem is that my gas gage always jumps to over full every time I start my truck and I don't know where to start testing or how to start testing possible ways...

If you understand resistance in ohms, and you have an ohm meter you can test out the fuel gauge system. The gas gauge is essentially an ohm meter, and the fuel level sending unit is a variable resistor. as the tank becomes lower and lower on fuel, a float in the tank attached to a variable resistor sends a signal to the gas gauge, and that is how the gauge keeps track of the fuel level. Normally if the gauge pegs out when you start the engine, the sending unit in the fuel tank is bad, or the wire going to the tank has a bad connection. If you remove the sending unit you can check it with an ohm meter. A good repair manual available at most major auto parts stores will walk you through the procedure.

79 chevy k10 starter problems

Fusible Links

The engine compartment wiring harness has several fusible links. The same size wire with a special hypalon insulation must be used when replacing a fusible link.
The links are located in the following areas:
  1. A molded splice at the starter solenoid Bat terminal, a 14 gauge red wire.
  2. A 16 gauge red fusible link at the junction block to protect the unfused wiring of 12 gauge or larger wire. This link stops at the bulkhead connector.
  3. The alternator warning light and field circuitry is protected by a 20 gauge red wire fusible link used in the battery feed to voltage regular #3 terminal. The link is installed as a molded splice in the circuit at the junction block.
  4. The ammeter circuit is protected by two 20 gauge fusible links installed as molded splices in the circuit at the junction block and battery to starter circuit.
Other things it MIGHT be are the ignition switch, located on top of the steering column:

The other thing it MIGHT be is a faulty ignition cylinder (where your key goes into to start the K10).

Check the wire harness on the steering column also.
