    vent windows

    I don't know if I screwed something up or if the donor vent frame was bent. I pulled the vent window from a wrecked 84. Seemed OK after powdercoat and reassembly, but now in the truck I have an 1/8" gap. it isn't closed all the way in the picture though, because the latch doesn't work. If I push...

    erratic fuel gauge

    A while ago I got some advice that my fuel gauge showing 1/4 tank when full was usually a bad gauge resistor on the back of the fuel gauge. I pulled the cluster out, intending to wire in an external 90ohm power resistor to resolve the issue. I found the nuts that hold the resistor on were loose...

    plans have changed - need opinions

    So I bought an 86 k10 suburban back in December, with the plan of it being a secondary/weekend/builder truck. Something I could drive around and throw a few hundred bucks at here and there. Ran decent, drove home 5+ hours. Interior was a bit rough, minor body work and paint. Mostly just neglect...
