    Door Strikers

    Maybe the red PEX is for the hot side and blue for cold ? Either way....fixing a part instead of just replacing it is way mores satisfying to me, so I love this PEX idea.

    por 15

    My buddy who sells it says you can spray it.....but that you should use a spray gun you don't mind replacing, since it can easily ruin a gun if you don't thoroughly clean it within the curing time. He also said that if you scuff it before it fully sets (within about an hour of putting it...

    Cab swap

    We had alot of crap going on this weekend and didn't really have much time to get anything done. That being said, we changed out the wire (.035) for some .024 wire (and a new .023 tip) and it made a HUGE difference. We did a couple of test welds (circled in green)..... ....and we...

    Excellent info, thanks!

    non a/c conversion

    Great looking project! I plan on refurbing my frame while I have the body, etc... off of it too. What made you decide to go with Tremclad instead of something else, like POR-15 for instance?

    Gm offers 100% new cabs!!!!!!

    Interesting. The price is pretty steep. It would be nice if they included some info on it, other than the price....like whether they come bare metal or if they are primered or painted. I think it would be very cool if they offered an extended cab version......

    Cab swap

    We were trying to use .035 wire, with the amperage turned all the way down and the wire speed slowed down...and with the tip held as far off as possible. I picked up some .024 wire last night and we're thinking that it will do the trick this weekend. Hopefully I can get it ready to go to...

    Cab swap

    We tried to get a little more done this weekend. Last week we ran into a problem with the 115v MIG welder not being powerful enough, so we decided to take the cab to my buddies shop... I used a wire cup to clean up the undercoating on the hump... I also cleaned up/trimmed the...

    Is a 2wd 4L60E worth the trouble?

    Well, I think I'm just going to do a yard pull then and forget aboutre-using my 4L60E. I have no idea about what transfer case I have. I'll try to get a picture of it posted up sometime soon.

    Cab swap

    I'm going to do the whole bottom with something that is very similar to rhino-liner. My friend sells it and has all the stuff to apply it. He also has some other stuff, similar to cosmoline, that goes on the inside of the doors. For the inside of the cab I'll use POR-15....and apply it to...

    Cab swap

    I would really rather not cut the VIN out if I can help it. The "new" cab does not have a VIN plate. The yard had to remove it before they could legally sell it to me. After looking it up, I'm 90% confident that I will be OK if I move the VIN because it doesn't fit the elements listed in...

    Is a 2wd 4L60E worth the trouble?

    Around here, every gas station you go to has the "contains up to 10% ethanol" sticker on the pump. I think that a computer controlled motor will run better for me (or at least more consistantly) no matter what the ethanol percentage is at the pump. If I can't find a 4x4 electronic...

    Cab swap

    Thanks! I found out that one of my Assistant Scoutmasters sells automotive related chemicals and supplies... stuff like POR-15 and something similar to rhino-liner, among others... and he wants to hook me up. So now I'm thinking that, after I get the cab prepped and painted silver (need to...

    Is a 2wd 4L60E worth the trouble?

    Wow.....I didn't mean to start anything :) I know that the 4L60E's have their weaknesses, but also that they can be made into very good transmissions. Both of my '95 Caprices have Stage III units I got from Carolina Performance Transmission. The '96 tranny I have is stock and...

    Cab swap

    We weren't able to get as much done as we wanted to this weekend due to bunch of other committments, but we did make good progress. We got the cab squared up better on the dolly, which we made from 2x4's and 4" casters I picked up at Home Depot... My buddies removed some interior...

    Is a 2wd 4L60E worth the trouble?

    I have a very good condition 4L60E that I pulled from my '96 Caprice. I'm thinking about trying to use it, along with the LT-1 that I pulled from the same vehicle, in my K-10. I would also want to use the PCM, harness, etc. from it. Is it worth going through the trouble of adapting this...

    manual windows to electric

    I'm going to be doing the same thing with my new set. It's looking to me like the doors are the same and swapping out the regulators will get it done.

    Cab swap

    I saw that, but I really like the idea of keeping the stock height and having the cab look "factory". My buddy is very confident that we can pull it off...so I'm going for it! :)

    Cab swap

    I am researching that at the moment. I'd really like to just move the plate to the "new" cab...which already had it's VIN removed. I am not a legal expert (though I am a LEO). So far, I haven't found anything specific in my state laws concerning VIN transfer/replacement rein conjunction with...

    Cab swap

    Ahhh, good to know about the transmission, thanks! I am seriously thinking about trying to swap out the current motor (Jasper 350 a previous owner installed) and transmission with a LT-1 and 4L60E I pulled from my '96 Caprice.

    Cab swap

    I don't know....it looks pretty bad to me. i thought about getting replacement metal for the floors and rockers, but it really seemed like it would be cheaper and less time consuming to replace the whole cab. The cab cost me $650. I could have gotten it for a good bit less, but I had them...

    Cab swap

    We cut out the K hump last night and did it a good bit bigger than it probably needs to be. We took it and laid it over the C cab hump and it looks like it could just about be bolted in right like it is. We are planning to clean up the edges a little bit and then trace its outline onto the...

    Cab swap

    Oops, neglected to mention the transmission info... It has the automatic transmission...I think it's the original TH700-R4 that came with it. I'm not sure about the transfer case info, but I think thats original too. You can see what it has in this picture taken after we cut out the hump...

    Cab swap

    I 'm looking for advice regarding a cab swap. (I did do a thread search for "cab" but all I got was the "sorry...." message, so if I missed any threads on it, please point me in their direction) I have an 84 K-10 that was in great shape mechanically, but suffered from pretty extensive...

    new mwmber

    Thanks. The truck is sitting with the fenders off, and the cab mounts undone...well, one unscrewed, two broke and the other has such a bad bushing that we don't need to do anything with it. But i'll try to see if I have any pictures i can post. The 1994 - 1996 Caprice could be ordered with...
