    What’s this and where does it go

    BTW...you should replace that nylon line with a copper one before the nylon line blows out and drains your engine of all its oil.

    What’s this and where does it go

    Looks like you have a manual oil pressure gauge installed. That connector went to an electric oil pressure/idiot light sending unit.

    Hubcap restoration

    Oven cleaner will strip the anodize. After its off you can polish them, repaint the details and seal the aluminum with Shine Seal or Shark Hide.

    Thanks! You saved me $45. Guess I'll have to work on fabricating my own.

    Bed Floor Patch Panels

    Has anyone used this bed floor patch panel from AMD? Do the ribs line up and are the contours correct?

    1980 Door Speakers

    Does anyone have a set of 1980 door speakers that they'd like to sell? Like the ones in this picture. I don't necessarily need the speakers. Just the shells. Color is not important as I can dye them to match my door panels.

    GMC orange color code

    I use Duplicolor Orange-Red Engine Enamel. I have a set of NOS 73-74 grill letters that I compared the color to and its nearly an exact match.

    I know this is an older post but did you find your tailgate letters? I have a couple sets (maybe more) of varying condition.

    Fender Antenna

    I believe the fender mounted antenna was an option. It seems that if you had a camper or ladder rack etc. that hangs over the roof and windshield you would lose reception so GM made the option.

    Fleetside tool box...

    That pic in the brochure is a little off from the actual tool compartment. These things were notorious for rust which is why they probably quit making them after 75. The door had vent holes but no coating on the inside so they rusted out. The hinges would get rusty and make it hard to open...

    Lowered C20

    Has anyone here lowered their C20 just 2 inches with drop spindles and shackles? I want a lower ride but still need to be able to haul 1500 lbs and tow an air compressor that has 400 lb tongue weight. Is it worth all the work for only a 2 inch drop? Anyone have any pictures of a C20 with a 2...

    Question for you out there that have run a 292 in a truck

    I have a 1980 C20 with a 292. Plenty of power and 15 MPG with 4 speed and 4.10 gears. Do yourself a favor and put headers and duals on it if nothing else. They breathe a lot easier that way!

    Flip Front Seat?

    Folding seat back was an option. Non-folding seat back was standard.

    Big Block Pictures? Under the hood?

    Not pretty but all original except headers. (And tune up parts of course)

    Help!!! Removing House Paint???

    Soda Blast it. And I don't mean one of those cheesy units from Harbor Freight. Check the web for a soda blaster in your area. They'll be able to strip your entire truck in a few hours. It might cost a couple hundred bucks or so but you'll save one hell of a lot on sand paper and stripper...

    Wheel paint

    Eastwood sells a very good argent silver wheel paint https://www.eastwood.com/ew-rally-wheel-argent-silver-paint-areos-12-oz.html They also have a black self etching primer which would match the factory primer. https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-self-etch-primer-black.htm

    White Interior?

    I pulled those pics off the web but a friend of mine had a black High Sierra with white bucket seat interior. His were vinyl. I couldn't imagine having white CLOTH. You'd have to "git neked" before you could get in the truck!

    sticky gummy steering wheel.

    Lemon Pledge. I know it sounds hinky but it works! I tried it after some one on a classic Oldsmobile site said that it worked for them and it worked for me too!
