    Rear glass sash rubber

    Well i installed the glass into the sash using the rubber and urethane. First I test fit dry using the rubber and the sash basically slipped right on, not very tight at all. I then laid a bead of urethane in the sash, got the rubber just started in the sash, then a bead of urethane in that, and...

    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...

    Rear glass sash rubber

    Hey guys, tearing into my k5 tailgate, the rear glass sash is completely gone. I found a replacement and the rubber strip that holds the glass into the sash. Apparently you form the rubber around the glass and then press or gently tap the glass into the sash with a mallet. I am skeptical...

    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?

    Floor and rocker options

    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...
