I have the original delco radio in my 87 R10. It looks great and sounds great when it plays. I replaced the wire harness because the tabs looked worn out. So, I figured the connections were not snug. It didn’t fix the problem. Basically if I apply pressure on the side of the harness, pushing it...
Awesome! Thank you midnight! I am very pleased with how the sheet metal looks on this truck. It's remarkable. The stuff I applied thus far was super easy to apply and seems to be of high quality.
It is the L shaped frame. The first three inches or so at the bottom is nice and easy. The rest just feels like a machine needs to do it. Seems like the rib inside the seal is a MM too thick. Says the attachment is too large when I try a picture.
I am trying to get the vent window seal on the L shaped frame. Any tricks on getting it on without having cardiac arrest, fatally stabbing myself with a tool, slicing my hand open or ruining the strip trying to get it in the channel? I am one frustrating hour into the passenger side. I try lube...

Also, there is a little brass cup that goes in the hole on the left, under the yellow...
What's up square body friends? So, I have been enjoying myself doing my first drum brake job on my 87 R10. I have found amazing videos on Youtube and I'm about 90% there but that 10% is driving me nuts. A few things eating at me.....
