    Where do I buy new interior kit?

    Odd question: were the side headliner trims always metal? Mine never originally had them, but I bagged a nice pair at the yard and they were metal. Everything else was LMC and looks / sizes up well. I have heard the sills were either plastic or metal......dunno. Thx.

    I finally gave up.

    I ordered a charcoal dash pad from USA1 pre-covid and it came in record time (8 +/- months). My guess is someone else ordered it during Reagan's second term and never picked it up, so it happened to be there. After waiting many many months for (and thus cancelling) door panel and interior...

    Rear axle replacement

    I dont know if any of these codes would be in the glove box on the SRO decal, but found this in the back of a Mitchell's guide I had (for GMC '87 4WD trucks). GM8 2.56 ratio GU2 2.73 ratio GU4 3.08 ratio GU6 3.42 ratio GT4 3.73 ratio

    The switches can also be suspect. Look into adding relays.

    Rooftop AC for Overlanding

    I would look into the old campers with the van front ends - they have smaller units than the huge CDL-required rigs. My uncle had one and it would freeze meat if you wanted it too. I bet there are MANY types and sizes in that club to choose from. You're definitely in custom-mod territory.

    GMC Grill

    There was when I posted it. It can be a lead as to 'will they get more' or was this a freak find too.

    GMC Grill

    First time I've seen them in a looong time. Quite reasonable too. Wouldn't expect OE quality but the price is good. Dunno.

    So the tooling is out there - wonder where and how much to procure it? Alot less than $25k me thinks.

    So sell it for ALOT more. Would STILL sell. Wonder what the tooling cost would be and where you would have it made?

    Bed Bolts?

    I was looking at the threaded ends too.....aftermarkets are usually squared off and the OE's are tapered.

    Bed Bolts?

    Those 3 with the shorter shoulder dont look OE (to me anyways). Wonder if a ghost of owners-past swapped some out?

    High Pressure Gas shooting out filler hole

    FOUR charcoal canisters? Never saw more than one on anything. Can you blow air through the vent hose to make sure it doesn't have a blockage upstream like a spiders nest, etc?

    How do yall ground your Alternator?

    I would use an insulated wire - never saw a strap used unless it was from a wiper motor or block to the chassis.

    What is you headlight setup

    I've got the Hella e-code lamps to install - they use the H4 and H1 bulbs. Have heard of some using HIDs or LEDs in them, but no idea how well they work. Cibie was the very best for pattern and light, but they are long gone now.

    1980 z28 rescue

    I love these older Z's. Curious: when you swap a BB into one, do you have to change the front suspension at all for the extra weight? Or is it close enough?

    Unusual radio issue

    I had an issue like this on a car I was flipping years ago - turned out to be a sticking relay.
