    1981 K1500 Power Door Locks- Rear not working

    Quick update...I charged the battery and now getting 12v at the plugs and everything is working good..I think my suspicion was correct that the rear door mechanisms need the full punch of 12v to actuate

    1981 K1500 Power Door Locks- Rear not working

    Hello all, I'm working on putting the doors back together and I put in all new actuators while I had them apart. The passenger rear wasn't working before I took them apart and even with the new actuator it wasn't working so I started trouble shooting. I'm getting right around 9v at all the...

I purchased the Essex without the mass backing and have applied Kilmat to the entire floor area. The Essex...

    Alrighty...got everything hooked up and I'm impressed with the Cerwin Vega HEDs..I have (2) 3.5's in the dash center spot and (2) other in the stock locations with stock location 4x10s hit pretty good!

    Suburban Tailgate Window Switch

    Suburban bench seat adjuster wire

    Thanks Drifter! For some reason it won't let me upload photos but here is a link for them.. https://photos.app.goo.gl/PeHKq5mUFxDaw93p8 So basically just loop the wire through the hole, probably secure it with a lug crimp or something and call it good?

    Suburban bench seat adjuster wire

    Hey All, In trying to get my interior back together I went to put in the front bench seat and noticed the adjuster wire is not connected (looks like it snapped off) on the driver side lever. There is a hole on the lever which would seem to be where the wire would run but the wire is a good...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    Hopefully this isn't too dumb of a question but I'm going to hook up the head unit and I had a question on the ACC position and the blue/white amp trigger wire. From what I can tell, the power supply from the head unit doesn't have an "in" from the ACC wire but has an out to the amp that is...

    Thanks for the kick in the backside on this! I realized my soldering iron was junk and the solder I was using didn't have a flux core...a $12 fix from amazon with a new iron, solder, flux and I'm getting great results now!!

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    After yet another one of life's little delays I have started installing wires...I was tying to figure out how to mount the amp under the seat and I didn't want to blindly start drilling through the floor. The solution I came up with is a sheet of ABS I put in the oven for about 10 min at 450...

    Drip rail gaps

    Hey all! I went to go put my drip rails on after paint and it I have small gaps between the body and rails. They do snug up at the screws but the gaps are still between mounting points..I have tried the 3m mounting tape and there is still a small gap. My thought is either a thicker mounting...

    1977-78 door trim accent piece - Western Scroll

    The sad part is that Burb will probably be smashed and sold for scrap within a week… There was an ‘84 in the same yard with a great condition interior (tinted windows all around) but my truck was at the body shop and I couldn’t remember what I needed (I know-rookie!)..by the time I checked up...

    1977-78 door trim accent piece - Western Scroll

    I have never seen it myself…Burb body was totally rusted out but otherwise complete..I went back today to grab some fasteners, plastic, etc I was missing and interior parts were complete aside from someone snatching the emblem off the dash trim

    GMC Hood Ornament

    Next problem...does anyone know where to source the gaskets for the hood ornament/emblems? It looks like a 1mm piece of plastic/clear vinyl I could probably trace and cut, unless it's available somwhere? I also need the set for the roof rack, which I would assume I could cut and trace from the...

    Door panel resto- backyard style

    Much appreciated! I like the Saddle Tan color better than the previous one I did.. a lot "richer" There used to be a Carquest close to me that carried a full line of SEM products and you could go buy a can to check it out in the real world..I can't find a local supplier anymore. I think the...

    Door panel resto- backyard style

    I attached some stainless screw studs with JB weld on some of the door trim pieces that I always check after I slam the door shut, haha I’m not sure if those are the same clips as the one I had but I’m done with the mold if you want to give it a shot

    Door panel resto- backyard style

    Quick update... Here is the finished product...it's not factory correct nor a perfect restoration but much better than what was there! I changed the color to SEM Saddle Tan which almost matches the new upholstery perfectly. On another note, I was missing one of the bottom retaining clips. I...

    GMC Hood Ornament

    You would think with all the advances in polymers/epoxies/paints that they could make a 2"x2" piece of plastic that would survive atmospheric re-entry on the space shuttle for under $10 these days...

    GMC Hood Ornament

    Halfway there...and livin' on a prayer... I used some clear Elmer's glue with a drop of dish soap and food coloring to "liquid mask" the lettering... Why is it when you see the repop at $XX you say "Are you crazy??!" and then after you have way too much time restoring the original you say...
