    Vent Window rubber replacement or replace?

    I rebuilt my drivers door window. Everything looks & fits great, but they don't seal worth a sh*t! Wind noise, and water from a carwash comes in. I can usually do these types of things with success, but not this time. I do not see anything in what I did that is wrong, and it all looks good &...

    Headliner

    The only things holding it in place is the outer trim and the sunviser brackets. Trim screws do hold the outer trim to the cab. I replaced mine & it came out well. It wasn't really that difficult. I used a fake suede fabric, and after I trimmed it to the general shape of the headliner board, I...

    I Spy A Cool GM Truck

    My opinion is that the take a nice truck & ruin it with it's ridiculous stance & giant wheels shoved up in there. I can only imagine how great it rides...:rolleyes:

    Bad pitman arm

    Power steering Pump Bracket

    Make sure that the bracket bolt that goes into the head is installed, if it has one. Mine was off a bit alos, no quite that bad, but then I noticed it was missing the bolt that went into the head. It lined up nicely once I installed it.

    2 inch Body Lift

    I just did mine in the suspension, Very simple, you don't have to change sh*t, and your bumpers don't look ridiculous being way below your sheetmetal. IMHO, one couldn't do anything more dumb than a body lift. Take that for what it's worth...

    Beauty Rings/With or Without

    I think the stainless rings will look sweet on the nice paint job. They'll also tie in nicely with the stainless mirrors

    Experienced masters, please provide restoration guidance

    Unless you're wanting to get the self-accomplishment feeling out of doing a resto, it is way more financially wise to buy a well done truck/Blazer that is completed, that's for sure!

    Good R&R 16-gallon gas tank video?

    You can't do that! It has to be from a 2nd gen camaro ONLY!:laughing1:

    Good R&R 16-gallon gas tank video?

    Old motorcycle inner tubes is what I used. Also, I never unbolted my filler neck from the box, you can go right in side the quarter panel in front of the tire and undo the spout & vent tube right at the tank and leave the other end fastened to the bed side. Tighten the tank straps fairly tight...

    Craigslist / Facebook/ OfferUp Finds: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

    I'm absolutely positive that my fenders are original paint, so all the squares should be the same. I'm sure they've varied a slight bit from year to year? You can tell that somebody resprayed the silver on the door though.

    Craigslist / Facebook/ OfferUp Finds: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

    I didn't think that the front fender 2-tone was correct. It has too high of an arch sloping toward the front of the fender. Factory was more of a sloped line without an arch, and I've never seen that color on one, EVER.

    Original Color of Inner Wheel Wells and Core Support?

    I think they were actually a satin black, light sheen.

    1977 K20 audio

    I'm assuming your dash isn't butchered and you still have the two knob radio hole in it? If you're wanting bluetooth, there are several aftermarket companies that make them to fit the 2 knob holes. If you want old school, try to find yourself an old Pioneer am/fm cassette Super Tuner III deck...

    True paint code look!

    Thank-you sir! If I ever get a 55 gallon drum full of Franklin's, I want to "Restore"(hahaha) it and change the silver to GM Teal w/gold border stripes. I had an '87 k10 that was factory black and I repainted it, adding the teal below the molding and it realy popped. Many people compliment me on...

    My dash lights and gauges don’t work.

    Did you check the main harness plug behind the cluster to make sure it's plugged in tightly? If it was lights only, I'd say a bad headlight switch, but if guages aren't working, I'd check the main plug.

    Radio Connector Question

    What Snoots posted, is 100% what I have with the bottom 2-wire plug being the memory circuit for the electronic tune radio. That pair does NOT plug into the radio, just into a pigtail coming off of it.

    Radio Connector Question

    That looks like atleast 2 different plugs, possibly 3. If the schematic isn't stamped on the radio body, then you should be able to look it up in a manual. They're all pretty basic, 2 or 4 speaker outputs, a ground, power, illumination circuit & a memory wire on electronic radios only. I can...

    True paint code look!

    Exactly my thoughts, Huck. I believe my '87 brochure shows it that way also.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Took the wife to work in this hell-ish "Atmospheric River" weather that hit us yesterday, and intensified today. I swapped out her Trailblazer winter tires for the summer tires last week, and I had to make the little 3-banger turbo SING to get it up the driveway through about 10" of fresh, wet...

    TBI Problems

    How do you find that?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I washed mine! Drove it to O'Reiley's to buy a chunk of hose for the catch can in the wifes's TB, and had 2 different young dude's oggling over it!
