    Tail Gate Latch ideas?

    So I can lower the tail gate and see the panel there. There I will have switches for the shaved doors so if they fail and battery terminals, so if the batt goes dead, I can power it up. The bed might be deeper than that, I need to measure my 8 port airtank and see how it comes out... I just...

    Tail Gate Latch ideas?

    Piece of _____ Liars on Craigslist!

    OP, the condition of the truck in reality vs the CL ad, strongly reminds me of my 82 I bought of FB Market place a few months ago. Online and in person, he acted like it was a pretty much Mint, when it was really just as you described, actually after removing the carpets and a few contractor...

    Best Product for Cleaning Floor Pans

    I'm in the middle of doing this exact thing, but I've kinda stalled out. I took the seats, seatbelts and mechanisms out, then pulled the carpet and underlayments out.

    83 C10 Grill

    Taggin in to learn... Seems like you could get a catalog from any one of the many vendors that sell practically every part there is on a C10. Then look at the exploded diagrams, list and order all the parts you need from one of the ones that have the lights and grill you like. I have an 82...

    I have seen guys use like a cherry Picker like engine lift where they attached boards under the rails then straps from them to the lift and I've seen youtubes of them just using straps from the lift to the bed corners.
