pretty much, original blue and charcoal gray with the blue interior. gonna leave the blue paint but change to the charcoal upholestry with some light gray in the inserts and on the bottom of the door. gonna do the headliner in light gray as well
getting it together,slowly!! painted the door panels a charcoal gray,then a light gray suede on the inserts!! The floor mat turned out pretty good too!!
well with the floor mat installed on to the door panels! I got some light gray suede to contrast the dark charcoal door panels, hope it turns out good! I used to old fabric as a template to fit the new stuff on.hope it works!!
More work on the floor mat! Heat gun is a must have! lots of humps and bumps to smooth out. going slow so I don't have any more screw ups! drivers side is all pinned down and getting the passenger side to fit. Good thing this ain't a show truck!!
well got the 87 Gmc in the shop, slowly trying to work out the new floor mat to fit the floor. It's still pretty stiff and stubborn! Gonna have to burn the midnight pellet stove to keep the shop warm enuf to get this done! It got cold here in a hurry this year!!
I just got a 140 amp alternator for my 89 plow truck!!Just in time as we got 14 inches of new snow the next day! the batteries are much happier while plowing!
any one know if there is a difference between alternators on a big block and a small block?? Looking to upgrade my plow truck alternator,1989 chevy 1500, from 105 amp to 140 amp. found one but its for a 454 on a 1990 chevy, anybody got any ideas??
hello from the frozen boulder!! winter has kicked in the door and booted summer out!!. Anybody got any hints or tricks to layin in a new MIP floor mat?? I thought the summer heat would help it relax but no such luck. 1987 GMC V2500 4x4. Gonna bring it inside before the snow really starts and try...
Well I finally got the seat mounts welded up and now have the new MIP floor mat in the truck.not finished but getting it to relax a bit in the heat. Anyone got any hints on smoothing it out around the 4x4 shifter and the humps?
I gave 2400 for my 87 GMC Sierra classic 4x4 V2500,with no rustor major issues, it had a few gremlins-fuel pumps,turn signal switch and good glass. I think 3500 would be about 1500 too much. washington truck here as well.
well the GMC is currently waiting on me to finish building the seat mounts for the bucket seats and building them too tall-- head up against the roof! soon as i get that done then time for the new floor mat and finish painting interior moulding!!
I used VHT with an adhesion promotor, Hope it works out!! Might have to break down and just buy some new panels, Can't find any used ones around here. I broke the cllip that the window felt attaches to so thats my luck! Its's the one running along the top of the door panel
Well after the winters work and the truck is outside, time to start on the interior. Anyone used any of the plastic paints with any luck?? Just got done spraying my door panels, guess we will see if its durable or not.
I got mine from Classic Industries,not too bad, had to do a little trimming. Cheyenne Pickup parts.com also has them,claim not to have to trim or modify. I think they are bit spendy though. But ya get what ya pay for
well after a week or so off from the GMC, I was gonna pull itout of the shop from its winter work over. Aftere draining the transmission and welding a drain plug into the pan,while refilling the trans I discovered a anti freeze leak at the lower hose.it was a brand new hose with no miles on...
Thanks for the input guys, I come from the age when we bench pressed the transmissions into place and we only had cork gaskets. scraping old gasket sealer off is a pain in the as$!! I think I will just put the new gasket on dry,It's the neoprene or rubber style,and run this thing for awhile then...
