    Power window and door lock install

    Been a while since I did this but in order to drill the hole through the cab the door needed to be off. Also in order to drill the hole where the wiring goes into the door it requires the door to be removed. There were dimples on the cab and the door to locate where the holes needed drilled.

    Bed cover build with/power lock

    I ended up pulling it off, I had the truck repainted and the black rhino liner didn’t mesh. As far as sitting on it with chairs it’d definitely hold up to that. The family has stood on it with no issues. It still looks the same as when I built it.

    What oils do I need

    5w 30 for the engine oil should be correct. It's usually written on the oil filler cap. I usually get 5 qts. Dextron transmission fluid should be correct for the transmission, not sure the quantity, the type of fluid used is sometimes stamped on the dipstick. As far as antifreeze I use the...

    a little help here..trying to get my pwr locks working

    Looked through some old post to verify and the power windows are direct from fuse box and power locks are controlled by a relay. http://www.gmsquarebody.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6399

    a little help here..trying to get my pwr locks working

    Been a while since I swapped my manual locks to power but I believe there is a relay for the power locks that is hidden under the dash near the center. Also check the fuse. I have in the past had a bad switch also.

    Show Us Your Man Cave

    And thanks scott and Caesar. I love my shop couch and love seat from the suburban seats. I need to steal the buckets (love seat) and get some perches and mount them in my truck. I set them in there one time and they looked sweet but I didn't have the perches to bolt them down right.

    Show Us Your Man Cave

    Sounds like you and me think a lot alike. I have a tv on the side not pictured with satellite. It's a little 32 inch, wish it were bigger. I spend a lot of time out in the shop so I figure make it comfortable. It's only 15 ft from my house but I still wish it had a shitter in it. The septic...

    Show Us Your Man Cave

    Ha, I definitely get it dirty. I only took the pic because I cleaned it. I Had the engine and transmissions out of a suburban and my r10 in there at the same time. I build wood projects in it all the time too. I use the sawdust that I sweep up from the wood as oil absorb. The painted floor...

    Show Us Your Man Cave

    Thought I'd bump an old threads. Here's a panoramic view of my shop interior. It's 30ft by 30ft. It was framed up to match my house but was just open studs when we bought the place. The previous owner was actually using it as a horse barn. I insulated it, built a workbench and storage...

    Ideas for dome light?

    No problem jerry, I did it the easy (lazy) way by screwing it up like that but it holds up well. Doing it like this also helps hold up the headliner too which is a plus. If you decide to put it up like this it doesn't take much time at all.

    Ideas for dome light?

    Here's the best pic I could get, has tons of glare but these suckers are bright. They are obviously blue. The map lights I purchased not realizing they were multi-color lol. They change about every 10 seconds and there are seven different colors. My kids think it's cool though, looks like a...

    Ideas for dome light?

    http://www.gmsquarebody.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9713 Here is the old thread where I put it in. As far as contouring it to the cab it fit tight with no gaps. I did option 1 jerry, that may have helped with having no gap also being it squished the headliner between the console and cab roof...

    Ideas for dome light?

    Found the pic on an old thread. This is before I hooked up the lights. It also has the map lights you can use which are nice.

    Ideas for dome light?

    I cut and installed an overhead console from a 91 burb that I think looks good. I went ahead and swapped the bulbs out for LEDs and it is like a supernova in the cab at night.

    Tail gate cover

    I've used these a couple of times in the past. It just depends on how well you want to seal it. As far as putting it on its pretty easy, just pop it on. On one truck I just welded the inner lips on the top and bottom of the tailgate and clamped and tacked the sides in several spots. The...

    power door to manual

    Changing the guts out is pretty easy. I went from manual to power and it wasn't hard, power to manual would be even easier. Once you get the door panel off you will see the bolts necessary to remove to get the window mechanism out.
