    Tech: How to Identify Original, GM Replacement, and Aftermarket Body Panels (Fenders, Hoods, Doors)

    I'm thinking maybe GM replacement fenders had the stamp. My 85 has factory fenders without the stamps also. I've noticed that factory doors have seam sealer along the door skin lap to the inner door, and the aftermarket don't. I've got 9 doors here and that seems to hold true.

    Headlight bucket Question

    I'm reinstalling my headlight buckets on my 85 with 4 lights, and I noticed there are two different configurations , (Besides the right and left.) there's 2 tabs where the elec socket would connect to the bulb that face different directions and not sure why, I can't see where it would make a...

    Replacement outer rocker fitment

    Any chance you could show a pic of the fitment issue? I'm having trouble picturing it. If the rocker fits up with the fender and the cab corner, then it sounds like a door issue to me.

    GMT 330 buckets in a Square? Anybody try it before?

    Had some time to kill today so I hit the local yard to see what's new. I came across two Old's Bravadas that had some nice leather power bucket seats. Just wondering if anybody has used these in a square before. I didn't think to take a tape measure, but they looked like they'd fit nicely.

    OEM Tire size??

    It might be easier to get yourself a GPS speedometer for 25 bucks and not worry about it. ;)

    OEM Tire size??

    Not sure if they still did it in 88, but there's a data tag on the driver door of my 85 that has the tire and wheel size from the factory

    78 k10 stepside fenders

    I have no experience with them but I've heard Mar-k products are top notch. http://www.mar-k.com/Catalog/index.aspx?LID=8176 You should consider cutting out the rusted area and making a patch panel to replace it. it's a flat piece of 16 gage so fabbing would be simple, but it would be a lot of...

    Can these bed sides be saved?

    This isn't my style but they make bed rail protectors that might cover the banged up top rails. something like these? https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=truck+bed+protector As far as the fuel filler goes, you can cut out and weld in a new one or maybe move the tank to the other side

    Can these bed sides be saved?

    Here's a link to a bed side reskin. https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/bed-side-panel-removal.23109/#post-444806 I would think a clean bed in your area would be easy to find for a reasonable price. unlike here in NY where a nice one can't be found for any price.

    Bench seat foam cushion

    On a side note, make sure your seat springs are in good shape, a couple busted springs will cause the seat to sag too.

    thinking of posting on craigslist need help with price

    It looks clean but without more pic's it's hard to give a number. But like Viktor mentioned, Sitting in NY, I'd but a clean one out of the Southwest and spend $1,500 for shipping and only be into it for $5500-$6500.

    79 k10 bed weight

    I was looking at model weights at the GM Heritage site, but couldn't find a cab/chassis model weight. If you could find that info and compare it to a standard pickup weight is would answer the question. I think. When I pulled the sides off my short box they were heavy but I could carry one...

    Fleetside or stepside

    That's a tough one to answer, I guess it comes down to personal preference. I got spares of each, so I can change my mind if I want.
