    New wiring harnesses '83/'84

    also, on the 84 i have no low beams. dome light wont work unless the switch is on high beams. i assume that is because the headlights and dome light draw power off the switch ... swapped the switch and still nothing. i hate electrical work, and im pretty clueless with it ... so where else...

    Wiring harness

    Im in the same boat you are in with my 83 and my 84 .... both of them have been hacked apart over the years with many problems. I think its easier to start from scratch than it is to trace down 40 different issues.

    WTB: Driver Side 4WD Front Spring anchor plate

    not really ... it drives well enough. I dont drive like a mad man so i really cant tell much of a difference between the sway bar connected or disconnected.

    I just put the front window kit into my 84 K3500 3+3 .... Great fit! Thanks for the how-to video, it was very helpful! Easier than i thought it would be ... took me about 30 min per window.

    I am wanting to do this too. Subscribed. Any thoughts on how a spot blaster would do on the seam sealer? That would be my first choice as far as weld prep.

    Grease

    green grease. i use it for nearly everything that falls under the category of "general use". i love that stuff. Fair warning, it is extremely tacky and extremely "stringy" .... so wear work clothes when you are around it. so ... synthetic. Im a big fan of the synthetic stuff anymore.
