    Vent window latch issues

    OK thanks, that's what I thought. This what the truck came with other than the one new vent window so must have been changed at some point

    Vent window latch issues

    Hello, so I am rebuilding a 1979 k10 pickup. I cleaned up and repainted the frames on vent windows and new 2 piece rubber from precision as well as one new glass as I had one tinted and one non tinted. So put the windows all back together but now the latch on the new glass won't reach the frame...

    How many coats of paint?

    The color your spraying and the tier of product will determine how many coats of base are needed. A really transparent color like some reds and yellows and a cheaper product line might take more costs of base to get proper coverage. Sealers and tintable sealers can help with this. 3 coats of...

    2wd fuse panel in 4wd

    The 4x4 truck has no fuse panel so I have a 2wd parts truck that I took the whole wiring harness out of. They are both 79's but are glass fuses and not ATO style fuses. I think it should work, don't see any problems. Just gonna have to add the wires in for the 4x4 which won't be a big deal...

    2wd fuse panel in 4wd

    Just curious if there was any difference from a 2wd fuse panel to a 4wd panel besides not having the the ground wire and the pink/ black wire that ran to the transfer case to light the 4wd indicator on the gauges. Both trucks are 79's.

    Truck is now finished. Had to fight with the headers as they were leaking bad on the rear drivers side so ended up cutting the flanges and using remflex gaskets to get them to seal up. Glad to be done this one and ready to cruise around.

    Usa 1 Industries Dash pads

    It's a risk sure but lots of parts are on backorder from lots of companies these days. I've never had good luck from LMC and the last urethane dash pad I tried was a horrendous fit so I figured I'd take my chances and pay the money for good quality stuff.

    Materials on dash pad? I started out by filling all the cracks in the dash pad and smoothing it all out and then the guy doing the upholstery covered it in the same leather that he is using on the seat. He did a tuck and rolled seam around the gauge cluster hump which is quite thick and looks a...

    So close to being done, just waiting on the seat from the upholstery. Recovered dash pad and Headliner installed. Added just some little steps and the trim rings on the wheels.

    I would say better than LMC, they deal with Auto Metal Direct for sheet metal I believe, which of all after market suppliers for sheet metal I find the best. I have used AMD for years and have no complaints. I just got the AMD interior mouldings and first glance they look great so we will see...
