1995 Chevy K1500 W/T V8. Replaced everything on truck a/c except evaporator.
Worked fine. After winter the a/c wouldn't come on. Pressure on low side was
10 lbs. Checked every conection in engine compartment and didn't find any
oil anywhere. Am I safe to assume it's the evaporator? This thing held a
vacuum for most of the day when I put it together and that's why I didn't
change out the evaporator- everything else leaked.

Yes. Sounds reasonable.

I made the same diagnosis you have with my old Pontiac. Turned out it
was the front seal on the compressor. Compressor had been rebuilt and
had less then 3000 miles on it. I didn't think I was seeing oil
either until it really started leaking, then it was literally dripping
off it.

going to put some more freon in it with some leak dye. If I don't see
anything upfront I'll take the cab apart and look at the evaporator.

replacing an evaporator!
I had one car where the service manual said for removing this to...
1. Remove steering column.
2. Remove dashboard.
(I don't know about what needs to be removed on your vehicle, but
probably not fun.)

even replacing the windshield required a partial tear down of the
