Thanks everyone for the reply's. My cab had some serious rust all around on both pillar posts and I ended up finding a nice cab to swap out. Much to my surprise, the owner had cut the dash for another radio and left the original support in place and just bent it out of the way. A bonus for me...- texasmike

VIN tag
Can one of you guys tell me what an original vin dashboard tag looked like? Mine is a solid piece of rust but is still readable. I need to replace my windshield and that would be a good time to clean it up and refresh it. Thanks.- texasmike

GAS CAP
I pulled the rubber cap off of the end of the steel line in the engine bay with the intention of leaving it off until the paint work is complete and then put the canister back and reconnect the line. However, the fuel smell was so strong that I replaced the cap. It just doesn't seem like a good...- texasmike

GAS CAP
Thanks for the reply Jeremy. The cap is original but I had bought another cap which has a locking feature for my model and it also builds up pressure. There are three lines at the tank, one is the feed line, one is a return line from the bottom of the fuel pump and the last one was from the...- texasmike

GAS CAP
i have finally got my truck running fairly well and am now waiting my turn at the body/paint shop of my choice. I am not driving the truck very much but I noticed that when I filled up the gas tank, there was a lot of pressure released when I removed the cap. It has the original cap and has had...- texasmike

Thanks for doing that for me, Jacob. I'm a recently retired very low tech guy who's still trying to figure how to best use this site. I'm trying to save this special truck and I know I'm going to have a lot of questions and need a lot of help. Every week, I look forward to reading the most... -
Bench seat cushion
I need to replace the bench seat cushion and would like to use the one advertised with the holes cut out for the seat belts. My seat is original and has the flip back option. The back cushion is okay and just needs to be recovered. Has anyone tried this and are there any problems with the seat... -
OEM Radio Bracket
I want to keep the original radio in my 84 C-K but have misplaced (lost) the support bracket. It appears that it would be quite a challenge, at least for me at my age, to fab something that would work well. Does someone out there have one of these they would be willing to part with or know... -

Is there anyone out there in square body land who has, or may know how to find, the support bracket for my AM/FM radio. Mine was misplaced and cannot be found, UGH. I am including a picture.- texasmike

84 C10 Body Questions
I have 3 questions concerning the resurrection I'm in the middle of: 1. Should the back of the bench seat tilt forward when the truck is not running? There are no levers or buttons to push/pull and it will not budge. 2. Are there any issues or concerns I should be aware of if I replace all of...- texasmike

Stock A/C not working
Hi everyone. I would welcome some advise on how to get cold air flowing into my cab. The truck was sitting outside on the dirt for over 13 years before I decided to rescue it about five months ago. I have finally got it in pretty good running condition and passed state inspection. The heater... -

Hi Jerry. The picture came through and that's a really nice looking truck. Kinda wish mine was a short bed but I'm glad to have what I do. Congrats on the upcoming B/D. I just finished my 75th trip around the sun on Thanksgiving Day. I'm also looking forward to pissing around with mine if I can...- texasmike

I'm not a very good picture taker and have not taken very many but this should give you an idea of what I'm working with. The company owner had an employee complete an amateur paint job in 92. From what I've picked up on the forum, I believe the red portion should have stopped at the front end...- texasmike

I'm one of those low tech dinosaur guys trying to figure out how all of this stuff works. I have no idea where this will wind up. I recently decided to resurrect an 84 C10 LB that has been sitting out side, facing due west, in our heavy equipment yard since 2005. The picture, if it shows up, is...- texasmike
