    84 Bench Seat Frame

    No, I put it back in the truck for now. I look like Cheech in Looww Rider. I am thinking maybe expanded metal and new springs.

    Wing Windows

    Looking for some help. My wing windows in my truck are in need of TLC. LMC has rebuild parts. I have heard but never seen full replacement assemblies.

    Instrument Bezel Referb

    I ended up using Chrome paint on the AC vents. I did use the pen on the Custom Deluxe badge. You can see the screws I have used over the years on the smaller bezel. I have had this truck for 34 years. I have a list of stuff to do still. Windows, seat, floor etc.

    I bought the pens. Today I did a test on the AC vent. 9 hours later I thought it was good enough so I tried another. The pen would not push paint out.

    84 Bench Seat Frame

    I finally found one place on the web that sells the springs and cross members. I called to verify and was told the manufacture stopped making them. I buddy told me a place where he lives is using plywood. Then putting the foam over the top. Anyone else tried this?

    Are you saying you painted the inside rather just the front outer ring?

    This is not my bezel, but you all know what it is. Some of the black is starting to peal. I am thinking about painting it. Then use some silver paint for the edges. Any thoughts or recommendations?

    Dash light question (Is there a bulb back there?)

    Dash light question 84 Chevy K10 95% stock. Looking at my dash, the right side of the fuel gauge is dim. It makes me think there is a bulb out. Question for anyone who has pulled the dash apart. Are there light bulbs back there? Anything special I should know before I dig into this?

    Fuel Valve replacement (I made it worse)

    UPDATE I replaced the rocker switch on the dash with Napa part FS500. Flipped the switch, gauge read full. Put it the other way, gauge read 1/2 I let it run for 15 minutes on both tanks. Never died. I am going to call this a win. Ended up replacing the fuel valve from Rock Auto -...

    Fuel Valve replacement (I made it worse)

    Yes sir. pushed it down, held it down pressing even hard "like that will matter" and said a few more bad words in the process. My wife reminded me the truck in 40 years old. Then told me I don't work like you did 40 years ago. :/ Smart A$$ woman.

    Fuel Valve replacement (I made it worse)

    Yes, I was out of work when I filled that tank up. I put 60 bucks of fuel in it then couldn't get to it. That fill up will forever be in my mind. The new valve was from RockAuto, "Looks" like the one I pulled out. But who knows if the pin out is really the same. Heading to Napa for a new...
