    Folding outer door skin lip

    Fit about 5" of a new outer skin onto the bottom of one of my doors tonight. Any tips or tricks on how to fold the lip on the sides and bottom without damaging or bend things all out of shape? What have you used or how have you done it?

    Lower control arm bushing sleeve install

    Thought I would post a picture of how I pressed in my lower control arm bushing sleeves in with my ball joint tool. Turns out the old nuts off the ends of the shafts make nice spacers.

    Energy Suspension bushing size

    Anyone installed these bushings on the rear leaf springs and hangers? The kit I bought (#3.18108G) listed all the bushings as the same size but the rear leaf shackle eye size is smaller and the bushing won't even start into the hole. All bushings share the same part number and that looks to be...

    Frame differences

    I fixed a bend in the frame on my '82 long box behind the drivers front cab mount. Decided not to use it in the end and set out to find a different one. Picked one up today, price was right (20 mins worth of snow clearing with my bobcat) and I have noticed a few differences. The new one is...

A few areas have surface rust from water splash marks, a one area that got something dripped on it. I wire wheeled all the spots off but I can...

    1982 front fender wheel arch rust repair

    I am finally getting started on my '82 and am looking ahead to the panel repairs. I see upper wheel arch patch panels available but they are always listed with the fleet side components. Are these compatible on the front fenders as well?

    Hey, just signed up. I have owned my '82 Silverado since '95, bought it from the original owner when I was 17. I had a 383 stroker build for it with angle plug corvette heads, built up turbo 350 with a stall (don't remember what rpm) and 342 rear end. Its been a long time since the truck was...
