First post, new to the forum, started a project and would love advice. I'll post pics in a bit, the VIN gives the year as 1991 (it is a square body I swear), which doesn't match any parts that I've bought for it. It is a one ton with singles in the rear, has a small death wobble and the connecting rod matched one from 1986, so now when I purchase parts I take the one off, head to the parts store and match them to the one they are selling me.
So, it is a cheyenne, and my son and I are starting a full restoration (a good lesson for the both of us). Looking for advice on door weather strips, window inside and out, (which ones are a good fit, which ones to avoid) I'll look on the forums further for advice on fitting the aluminum(I took the rubber mat out and it leaves a space under the gear shift and transfer case stick) at the base of the door frame.
drivers seat is pretty beat up, who does the best interior upholstery kits?
Body is in pretty good shape, we might need to do some bondo work on a couple dents.
Good/best paints?
Best prep for metal to get the bad primer off?
We just pulled the fenders and front fender wells, radiator and sub-grill, trying to be pretty comprehensive as this has been a dream to do for awhile.
