    how worried should i be?

    thank you, makes me feel less worried. I will defiantly be trying to kill as much rust as i can and protect it from getting worse. i have encountered the wheel well seams. i ground those down, treated and fiber glassed, primed and painted

    suburban middle seat belt floor bolts

    Do you guys think one of these bolts is a better choice than the other? I wonder if the phos & oil bolt will prevent it from locking down as tight even with a thread locker. Thoughts?

    suburban middle seat belt floor bolts

    Thank you so much that is a big help. I did heat them and it still took 2 days of PB blaster and then Free All, three Torx bits and a torch. They were really rusted in there. I wanted to be certain I use the right grade for my daughters safety. Thanks for being so quick and for the picture...

    suburban middle seat belt floor bolts

    FYI the RED arrow is pointing to what I believe is a nick from the torx bit. Not the machined markings

    suburban middle seat belt floor bolts

    I beg you all tell me what grade this dang bolt is? Im going nutso with these bolts. I want to replace them with hex head since the stupid torx bolts suck. I know its metric ( M12) and the thread size is 1.75 but the grade is where im stuck.

    Hey there Adam, I'm curious if you did the flex seal thing over your seam seal. If so how did it go? Would you recommend?

    Replacement Heater Core

    thru my research (currently doing the same thing) i have found that most feel the copper heater core pumps out heat best( your truck was built with the copper one). I only have the heater in front so i chose that one. If you have a front AND rear heater you probably could get away with aluminum...
