    Anyone know what this bracket is for?

    It wouldn't work. Rules are I would have to lose complete access to it before its true purpose revealed. These things just know.

    Anyone know what this bracket is for?

    My Plan B is to just toss it. Then guarantee within a day, I'll need it and know what it was for.

    Save Money On New Vintage Gauges this month

    I've done many side projects with NVU in the past, like repopping dummy light panels to exact knock offs of 1960s - 1970s gauge faces. I intend on doing something 'different' with a couple of my truck's gauges as well. I loved that 70-80s style gauge they had - the fonts were spot on - and had...

    Aftermarket Door Latch Mechanisms

    Its not a big deal - sometimes an aftermarket can be better / improved, and if that was the case, I wouldn't feel bad ordering a pair if I cant refurb these (which I probably can). I did many sets of door mechanisms for cars that there was no aftermarket option and they all came out perfect...

    Aftermarket Door Latch Mechanisms

    They will plate anything I take them (that isn't chemically prohibitive). Its so thin it isn't like powder coating and baking/painting everything in place. Last couple times I did something similar, it worked and looked excellent.

    Aftermarket Door Latch Mechanisms

    Thats my Plan B if the aftermarkets are junk. Once 'cleaned' re-plating is possible also.

    Aftermarket Door Latch Mechanisms

    Has anyone bought new (aftermarket) door latch mechanisms, and if so, what was the quality like compared to the originals? Does one supplier sell a 'better' repop than another? Mine work fine but have alot of corrosion in some areas. I considered buying new ones but if they're asian-cheap, I'll...

    Anyone know what this bracket is for?

    I also suspected something for emissions? This was a left coast truck and had plenty on it. I took 1500+ pics of this truck pre-demolition for just such an emergency and cant find it in any - but the emission junk was pulled long before that.

    Anyone know what this bracket is for?

    Been sorting loose parts and came across about 8-10 brackets I didn't recognize. Figured them all out but one. My guess is something with the radiator support but cant find any pre-demolition pics with it in place. Any idea? THX

    Vintage Air Firewall Installation

    Trying to find the space between the hoses and that bell housing edge. I have never had any use for the cheap overflow tanks the SBs had - never cared for how they mount either. I have bought 2 and both leaked. Read a posting once where a guy bought 4 to get 1. I like the 95-98 styles - mount is...

    Door realignment after paint, what technique did you use?

    Have 1-1/2 gallons of a satin black sealer that it will get before color. Help the coverage a bit better than over the light gray.

    Door realignment after paint, what technique did you use?

    Its a 2015-18 GM blue metallic. There are 5 shades with the same code (wtf?) and this one is the darkest - almost black until its in the sun. I got almost 2 gallons of it in base - inside of bed is getting something like rino-liner so no paint there. Only thing the shop is doing is the roof...

    Door realignment after paint, what technique did you use?

    I am changing colors. New color is metallic - which (most shops agree) should be painted at the same time. Painting the inside of my cab, the area between the cab and bed, the firewall, and inside doors and door jambs allows me to set the cab back on the chassis and start assembling lines and...

    Door realignment after paint, what technique did you use?

    Yes to the reaming - no to the doors back on. Am kind of in between - I want to get the cab into paint so I can start re-assembling, but the roof skin needs replaced and is scheduled around the first of the year. So even if I get the cab into paint (which includes insides of doors, jambs and...

    Door realignment after paint, what technique did you use?

    I drilled 2 random holes on each hinge - reamed to 1/8". Using one inch long 1/8" dowels indicates the hinge exactly to where it was.....and press fits into place flush. Disappears when painted. Here was a test to see how they fit.

    Vintage Air Firewall Installation

    They made a place my buddy worked at some lines rated to 2500psi. Every time I'm there someone from ODOT or a couple local stamping plants are there. I used to restore 4N cars and there was a high pressure line that had been out of production since 1993. I found one (that was bad) and they...
