    Column Shift Linkage Bushings

    I did that at first but now remember that they don’t come with the bushing. You still have one of your bushings. Do you have the other one too? I only had the one so I just ordered from gmclassics. I still have the other parts leftover, so I just now confirmed that the plastic bushing fits...

    Column Shift Linkage Bushings

    These worked for me. https://gmclassics.com/part/transmission-linkage-grommet/ I think what you have left on your rod is the plastic bushing insert from the original two-part grommet. I had that plastic bushing as well on one rod, but it was still inside a partially shredded rubber grommet...

    76 GMC C25 Suburban 3-point seat belt trim question

    I would probably try a spade bit myself they have teeth on the outside to score a clean outline. Best to try on a similar material as a test piece to confirm/practice though. Watch out for the included LMC bolt though. On my 76, my hole threads were sae and the supplied bolt was metric. It...

    Are hood latches interchangeable between 76 and 77?

    The handle for the 1976 is offset since the 76 grille has a bar running right up the midline. 77 you just reach right through since there is a grille hole right at the top center. My 76 for some reason, has a 77 style grille and centered release handle. If I switch to a 1976 grille, do I just...

    Trash my dash? And interior panel take offs?

    Will I regret throwing out my old red trim panels and dash? I love the new tan stuff I got from LMC. The old take offs are taking up a lot of space. They’re all faded and the dash is mega cracked. I heard folks talk about maybe using the dash base for reupholstery. Would other people potentially...

    Wiring diagram numbers

    1976 factory wiring diagram. What are the long numbers like I've circled in the pic? Are they of any use to the home mechanic?

    Replacing Outer Window Seals

    Installed new today and got a couple removal/install photos to post. Old ones were as brittle as ceramic. Tips: a hook pick works to grab the clips, even past hardened rubber. There is clearance to slip it into the clip once you’re down there. I did bend the hook on the drivers side. Lineman’s...

    Emergency brake warning light

    I believe that they appeared in 1979. Wiring diagrams pre-79 do not show the switch, but the 79 does. (See '79 wiring detail) My 76 appears to be drilled for it, but it's not there. (hole location circled, though it appears a bit fuzzy in the pic). Curiously, the 76 service manual assumes that...
