So my 83 makes a weird hum/buzz sound and I can't figure out for the life of me what it is. Happens when I start going but only for a little bit then stops if I slow down. I'll see if I can get a video posted of the sound later.

Engine or belt or something else?

These power steering pumps are noisy devils.
Unfortunately no power steering. Almost sounds like air going through an open hole. I can only hear it while driving which is making it hard l to pinpoint.

It's an auto c6 with 351w. I just had the trans rebuilt last fall. The noise started to happen this winter

Remove the belt temporarily. You should be good for a few minutes with a cold engine.
What will that check? I can only hear the sound while I'm moving, not in park and just running. I was thinking maybe a bearing cause it has something to do with the movement of the truck.

He's saying go for a quick drive with the belt off, he's right, for a couple minutes you should be ok without water circulating
Does it change when you rev it up in park?

Thats why i think its a pump or torque converter.
Have you checked fluid levels in the trans? I know my 77 F250 with a C6 would make some odd noises when it was low
It does not
