    Twin Fuel Tank Idea

    I know this has been discussed previously, but I couldn’t find the thread. The idea of having 2 tanks that are both feeding the motor, to eliminate the need for a tank switch, has been knocking around my melon for quite some time and I think I came up with a solution. I drew a quick diagram...

    Caged Nuts For Cab Mount

    The bolts that hold the cab onto the frame go into a caged nut, which is basically a 2" steel square plate with a tapped hole in it. The nut, in the front, lives in the cab support bracket that goes between the inner rocker and the longer cab floor support. Mine is all messed up, as one could...

    Caged Nuts For Cab Mount

    Hi guys. I'm having trouble sourcing the caged nut for the cab mount. The ones I have are so krusty that I'd rather use new ones. I know I could make them, but it's probably more time and effort to do it and I'd rather spend that time on the truck itself. I've checked all the usual places...

    Seat Belt Question

    I needed them removed to do the body work and the bolts holding them in were giving me a hard time... I sort of melted some of the passenger side away while trying to convince the bolt to come loose with a torch. So then I figured I might as well just replace them both. The bolts probably...

    Seat Hump Patch Panel?

    No, the passenger side is really in pretty good shape in comparison. It needs rockers and cab corner work, but it's not like this. I am going to be doing both cab support pieces on both sides. They were crusty enough that I'm just going to replace em. Hopefully the weather will cooperate...

    Help identifying under dash connector

    I haven't fixed it yet. I got new cab support pieces and I've been diligently disassembling things all over the place. Got both gas tanks dropped today during breaks in the rain...

    Seat Hump Patch Panel?

    The truck was registered, when I got it. He had some sheet metal screwed down and the edges smeared with seam-sealer. It was actually a reasonably good patch job, if you didn't care how it looked. Everything is still in alignment, amazingly. The floor supports are both toast, but are holding...

    Seat Belt Question

    I'll eventually have to replace the seat belts that I destroyed... I really don't like the older style belts that requires 2 hands to buckle/unbuckle. I'd much prefer to put in a more modern type, with a stiff braided wire for the female side of the buckle and a single belt reel with a sliding...

    How To Build Custom Door Panels

    This is awesome Have a thought! I always dislike when trim parts have a hollow feel or sound to them. What'ya think about making the panel and then filling the back-side with spray-foam? You could then cut it smooth or recessed wherever needed and I bet it'd feel and sound great, plus it'd...

    Seat Hump Patch Panel?

    I got in touch with a guy yesterday that said he'd let me cut out what I need from a truck he's parting out and it looked pretty clean in the area I need. So, I think I'll be able to salvage it. The other side needs work, too. But this is the worst of it, on the cab. The bed might be a...

    Bed sills

    I don’t really know jack about squat, but I did read somewhere that ‘85 and ‘86 model years were identical. IDK if it’s helpful at all, but that’s what I can offer.

    Seat Hump Patch Panel?

    A quick googling hasn't yielded any helpful results, so I'm asking here. Are there Seat Hump patch panels out there? My floor/rocker rust extends pretty well up the vertical portion of the seat hump and it doesn't look like the commercial patch panels would cover it. I could try to find a...

    Hi, everybody.

    Howdy. My name's Phil. I just got my '83 K20 a couple days ago; 350 runs strong, but has a metric ton of rust and an eclectic array of other issues. My intent is to fix her up as a long term project and [some day] put a whole lot of power under the hood. I like the look of a beat up, well used...
