    Kick panel rust repair.

    I found where water was coming into my cab. Now I need to fix it. These spot welds are done from the outside. Can a guy drill out the spot welds from the inside (wrong side)? In other words, can this kick panel repair be done from inside the cab altogether without removing doors, fenders...

    Question about 1981 cluster backing plate.

    While working on my gauge cluster today, I dropped it. :whymewhyme: Broke a mounting tab off. I check LMC, and I see years 78-79 and 83-89 Am I just screwed on getting a new one, or will one of the other years work on my 81?

    Replacement pad/barrier that goes under the carpet.

    While trying to install my speakers, I found the pad under the carpet soaking wet. I pulled it back and I don't think it rusted through luckily. I'll figure out what happened and fix it, but my question is... The stuff that is ruined, the pad (looks like insulation of some sort) and some...

    Speakers for Stock HU

    I am doing this, but inputting to an amplifier that has bluetooth. Then when I get in my truck it will automatically pair with my phone and I can stream audio via the internet. I can also unpair from my phone and use good old fashioned AM radio too.

    How to remove the instrument cluster?

    And you get to the wiring harness and speedo cable reaching up from underneath (by the brake pedal)?

    How to remove the instrument cluster?

    I searched the whole internet high and low, so the problem must be me. I have taken out the dash pad and removed the screws on the cluster tabs around the edges of the cluster. The cluster moves, but I it seems there's more that must be taken off. It's not going to easily slide out as-is...

    Need help identifying this squeak. Maybe bearing, maybe speedo?

    Connected to my trans is a stewart warner speedo reducer (because it's impossible to get the right drive and driven gears for my rear end), which I thought might be it. I disconnected the speedo wire from it and the sound went away. I picked up a new speedo wire yesterday and will install it...

    Need help identifying this squeak. Maybe bearing, maybe speedo?

    I'm leaning towards speedo cable. I put the camera on all 4 corners and it's loudest over this wheel (driver rear), and second loudest over driver front. I can hear it well in the cab with the windows rolled up. Makes the sound in gear and out. With brakes and without. Skip to 1:50 or so...

    What is the trick to working on the driver gas tank?

    I was able to fix it today. I had used new hoses, but cut them too long. When I put the gas tank back on, it crimped the hoses. I took the tank back off, cut an inch off the hoses but before I tried reinstalling it, I took off the clamps holding the hard lines and also took the clamps off...

    What is the trick to working on the driver gas tank?

    I replaced the fuel sender on the driver side gas tank. It was a giant pain in the ass to reconnect the 3 fuel lines when putting the tank back in. Turns out, I crimped one of those 3 lines in the rubber connector (from sender to hard gas line) now I have to take the tank back out to fix...
