Heater fan switch not working
With the car running, does it only run on high? If so, your blower motor resistor is bad. It’s a five minute fix to replace it.- Mobius

Spring keeper?
Not sure what to call it. Where can I get one of these? The one at the back of my left leaf spring is missing.- Mobius

New alternator wiring question
I recently installed a CS144, 140 amp alternator, to power my dual electric cooling fans and whatever else I add down the road. I’ve read through some of the info here, and know I need to upgrade some of my wiring. People talk about the charge wire. Are you just adding a bigger wire from the alt...- Mobius

New bench upholstery!
The whole job only took me a couple hours, and I’m very pleased with the result. They offer the upholstery in damn near every color imaginable, in tweed or vinyl, tweed with vinyl inserts, full back or open back, and you choose whatever vinyl/fabric color combo you want. -
Refurbishing the interior, need parts advice
that’s why I’m asking before I spend money. Hope to find out which company makes/supplies the best of each part. I don’t mind ordering from multiple sources to get the best stuff. -
Refurbishing the interior, need parts advice
Who has the best quality and/or value for interior? I just replaced my bench seat upholstery, and I’m planning to also replace the carpet, door panels, and dash pad. Eventually, I’ll also do the kick panels and other miscellaneous trim bits, since I’m converting the interior color over to black... -
New bench upholstery!
I just finished reupholstering my bench seat. As with most of these old trucks, my vinyl was cracked and split in many places. Fortunately, the foam was still in good shape, as the sun hadn’t eaten it up much where it was showing through. My quandary was that I didn’t want hot, sticky vinyl, and... -
Best evaporator?
ive seen mixed reviews on the various evaporators available for our trucks. What is a good choice? I have a 79, if it matters. -
Accumulator?
Also, is the pressure switch on the accumulator a low or high switch? I discovered my R134 was low (there was only about .2 lbs in the system) but the compressor was still running. Should it be shutting off with low pressure? Is there also a high pressure switch? -
Accumulator?
Is there an accumulator that will fit our trucks that already has an R-134 low side fitting? Or do I just need to buy an adapter? I don’t really trust the adapter I’m using now, because it’s giving me wonky low side pressure readings. I’m getting ready to put in a Sanden compressor and parallel... -

Question about dash air vents
Your fan only working on high is because your blower resistor has gone bad. Replace the blower resistor and you should be good to go. -
Parallel flow condenser?
On a related note, if I get a universal one, how big should I go? As big as will fit? -
AC Blower motor noise?
I don’t know the cutoff, but on most or all of the 70s trucks at least, the blower motor will always run on low to provide some ventilation, even if everything is set to off. I’m not sure if my 79 with AC does, but I know my heat only 77 did. That being said, yours is really loud. I’d replace...
