    Drilling Holes in a Plastic Gauge Cluster Crystal?

    OK, so I am planning on replacing the gauge cluster that is currently in my Blazer with an "updated" "custom OEM" version that has a clock and a trip meter. I already have all the parts to do this. I just finished replacing all the bulbs in the new cluster, too. For the 5 display bulbs I used...

    1985 K5 Blazer Silverado - NOTHING ORIGINAL!

    Hello all. I have been posting here a little but I haven't made a formal introduction in this sub-forum so I guess it's better late than never. I live in NE Georgia and I am new to GM Square Body vehicles. I have always liked them but never came across a really good deal - that is until recently...

    So Does Everyone HATE This Steering Wheel?

    I am new to Square Bodies, so I have of course been browsing the Googly internet machine and this site's "Random Media" section looking at all the pictures of everyone's Squares. One thing I have been seeing a lot of is people ditching the factory steering wheel like pic related: Seems like...

    Cut New Dash Pad For Speaker Install?

    It's me! It's me! It's Ernest T! Comin' back atcha' with more questions on how to fix up this damn K5 money pit I am quickly getting buried in! I have the standard 35 year old cracking dash pad. Not only is it cracked, it's actually faded from its original 1980's blue color to a dull dark...

    78 - 80 Dash Bezel & Gauge Cluster

    Prefer local pickup but will ship. I will just need to box it up and get a shipping quote from the PO first so I can get a total cost. PM me with any questions or to arrange payment via PayPal F&F. Here is the bezel. I think it's the 78-80 model but I could be mistaken. Has a chip on the upper...

    What Year/Models Did These Gauge Clusters Originally Come In?

    Sorry to keep bombarding you guys with these "Squarebody Noob Questions", but I was just trying to figure out which models these things originally came in. I got these when I bought my Blazer. My temp and oil pressure gauges aren't working right now and figured if the actual gauges were bad...

    Good Source For Those "Blanket" Seat Covers

    I've heard these things called Saddle blanket, Indian Blanket, Baja Blanket, Mexican Blanket, and Aztec Blanket seat covers. I eventually plan on having both front bucket seats and the rear bench seat reupholstered in black leather with a strip of some weird, exotic leather running down the...

    Free To A Good Home - 2X Door Panels - NE GA Area

    I have no use for these. Yes they are totally filthy but should clean up OK with some elbow grease and some TLC. One is a blue or gray (hard to tell with all the dust) drivers side door panel for a Suburban. Has the door lock switch and cluster of 4 window switches plus some wiring in the back...

    So is this type of Bumper Trim unobtanium?

    Hello, again. I'm doing some work to my 1985 K5 Blazer Silverado I purchased less than a month ago, and right now I'm trying my darnedest to find the two piece set of black rubber bumper trim/cushions/strips for a type of bumper that came on the 1990 - 1991 Suburban. It's the two-piece black...

    '85 K5 - Source For Chrome Window Gasket?

    I have a '85 K5 Silverado with a cracked windshield. Luckily there is a glass guy less than a mile from my home and his prices seem pretty reasonable. Only thing that is keeping me from dropping the thing off with him tomorrow is that he says he MIGHT not be able to find a new chrome gasket to...

    85 K5 Blazer Siverado Factory Speakers?

    Hello everyone. This is my first post here. Just bought a 1985 K5 Silverado about a week ago. This thing is in pretty good shape overall, but it definitely has some issues - all of which are probably more important than the question I am about to ask. I have looked all over the web for this...
