    Vent window trick?

    I used the 2 piece vent window seals, I borrowed a mini rivet setting press tool from a friend, use plenty of lube non-petroleum based and take your time, it’s very doable just a little patience and you can do it. Good luck

    Aftermarket Turn Signal wiring?

    My question is why didn’t you go back with the factory set up, I think you’d be better off in the long run IMHO

    Mirror and Vent Windows

    Yes, they are a pain but doable, I got the two piece set for each side and everything else needed to rebuild from lmc and one of the window frame was broken on pass side take your time, be patient and you’ll be able to do it FWIW

    Headers/fastners

    FWIW- I usually source all of my oddball studs and nuts through McMaster-Carr they have a wide selection of both and you can choose from several different alloys and grades for each, and they don’t gouge you on shipping. Good luck I’d be interested in what parts you use for future reference

    USA1 Industries

    I’m done with them, you have to get in touch with them to even find out that your order is back ordered without an ETA, and the fact they charge you immediately and keep your money tied up instead of waiting to charge you when and if they ship your order

    What fluid and capacity in 85 Chevy k10 manual 4-speed ?

    I just replaced the shift forks and put a kitin the top cover and I put exactly 4 quarts in mine, make sure it’s the 80-90wt GL-4 from what I’ve read and heard that the GL-4 is better because of the brass synchronizers in the internal parts, just my 2 cents worth
