    Rear glass sash rubber

    Thanks. Do you think the RTV is helpful or just go with the rubber? I do have RTV on hand but not urethane and I know its expensive.

    LS regasket question

    So i got around to doing the covers and the oil pan. The pan was the most finnicky for some reason. I put a healthy glob of rtv in the corners, checked, rechecked and torqued down. Then checked again, and somehow it had moved just out of spec. So i had to back off the bolts and readjust to my...

    Rear glass sash rubber

    Thanks saltdog. My fear is the glass will pop out of the sash due to the older components and just the reputation the tailgates have for friction and not working well. I plan on going manual but its just not in the cards this year and i need it “functional” at least with a cordless drill to be...

    Floor and rocker options

    Awesome, thanks for the pics. I am a decent welder and work with sheet metal so I think I can bend up some hat channel and weld it in place and fill the holes as well. Do they sit on the frame or no?

    LS regasket question

    I see you removed both covers and the pan at the same time. Wondering if i should remove and reinstall my front and rear covers while leaving the pan untouched. THEN do the pan last. Thoughts?

    TotallyHucked, you dont happen to know what the underneath of the back floor (bed) and the step-up from the front floors is supposed to look like? For more context, my rear floor looks like its been replaced but is loaded with bolts. The step-up is as well. Underneath the rear floor is cross...

    Hi Bucket, yes it’s stock height and OE GM shafts. I do plan on maybe a subtle ~2” lift after it’s running and driving. So not for a little while
