    Front end assembly hardware

    No Problem, for $53 bucks way better than trying to buff and repaint a bunch of old rusted bolts. The bolts are grade 8 factory spec so no-brainer IMHO.

    Mirror quality question

    I bought a pair for my 79 k10 From LMC they are not the best in the world but they are stainless and look good. (See my Profile Pic) The only problem I had was that wind would blow them back so I had to put some large diameter wire heat shrink wrap on them a couple layers now much better.

    Printed Circuit Question 79 K10

The reason I had not gone for the new circuit option was twofold - one the PCB's have many different options (knowing LMC has 78-80 w/out tach) excluding the obvious tach option which I don't have for example mine has 4wd indicator some don't mine...

    Which Mirrors are BEST quality?

    I also put on the stainless ones from LMC, fair quality but going down the road the wind would blow them in tightened up all the way. I had to get multiple pieces of 1.25 inch wire harness shrink wrap and put on the stem before they would stay. Be careful with the O-ring type seals on the top...

    Take a look at this rust spot, please.

    What I had to do on mine was find a replacement roof from a Junker. I just needed the passenger corner where the windshield pillar is welded to the roof and about a 3 inch strip down the top of the windshield about 18 inches. Cut out my old one, welded in the replacement smoothed it up, a little...

    Transtar 2k Epoxy Primer Problem

    Thanks for the replies, left it out in the sun each day last week, it was in the 80's and still never cured. Could dig my finger nail in and finally pulled the plug. Got 5 gallons of lacquer thinner a bunch of rags and a new respirator. Coming off with effort but starting again...ugh
