Lifting the body off made everything easy.

Cleaning the undercarriage and painting everything is a definite plus. That was easy.

I avoid being an annoyance. Loud exhaust and loud horns are law enforcement magnets. I avoid all interaction. The police have enough to do. In PA they are illegal.

It has been my experience that anything you put on / over the steel floor of an older vehicle that is exposed to weather and driven in in climate weather has a corrosive effect to the floor. The fine abrasive particles that are trapped between the rubber mat and the floor are grinding away every...

I added a HMMWV horn. It was a 24V horn and a CUCV has a 24 spade in the fuse box. I used an inline fuse and wired it to a separate button. Classic Jeep sound. I still had the stock CUCV horn wired as OEM. The current owner may have removed the horn. It was on my M1009 Mule. It dared to be...

Whatever they are made out of it is just a plastic cap that is placed over the existing dash pad. The Chevrolet trucks always had poor dash pads in them back in the day. I worked at a GM dealer and remember that the heavier medium duty GM trucks had the same design dash pad, but it was made out...

You have a bad bulb on the right turn signal. It could even be a bad ground in the socket or a side maker light on the right side. That green glow is telling you to check your bulbs and grounds. Good Luck. The bulb socket is a common issue. Side Marker Socket NW 787111 | Buy Online - NAPA Auto...

I have all these procedures pictured in my rebuild threads. Ball Joints are easy.

The tool to put riv-nuts in place is a very simple tool. I am talking the manual type. I had the power type at one time but we quit drilling and installing mirrors and brackets because of corrosion issues. All the chassis we receive now have factory mounted mirrors. I have one similar to this...

My thoughts exactly. The left taillight is an M1008A4 update. Missing the nomenclature in the door jam.

Do the labor yourself. It is not that hard. The only tool you need is a ball joint C clamp. You could pay for all the tools in the labor savings alone. This is basic hand tools stuff. A cordless 1/2" impact would be nice but it can be done with manual breaker bars and a vise.

Surplus 1985 Chevrolet D30 4x4 Pickup in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, United States (GovPlanet Item #7755176) A real beauty. 1 owner 25 K miles. They know what they got no low ballers.

Classic Car Dashes 1981-1991 Chevrolet C/K Series GMC Dash Pad - Urethane - Black (topflightautomotive.com) You told me about this dash pad before, and I looked at the picture on the web site. I question the droop over the cluster in the picture. With a metal underlayment there should be no...

Why doesn't anyone want to say if it is 1 piece metal and has a flange at the cluster for tinnerman nuts. I have tried everyone I could and the only ones that truly fit and match have been the OEM ones. I will look into these ones you are showing. I only need 1 more in decent condition. If the...

The weekend started out well. I made lots of progress on a few of the projects I have going on. I was able to get both of my trailers loaded with firewood unloaded. I split it all as I unloaded it. I have a large barn at my friend's house that we are repairing, and painting and I was able to get...

I was at a real estate auction today and they sold a 1996 full size Bronco with 82 K miles, it brought $13,500. and it was not in perfect condition I seen rust pushing at the wheel arches on the 1/4's and the front fender. A green on green. I was expecting $6-7K and wonder why it would have such...

That looks like a good deal. If I were needing a nice one that is the one, I would purchase. i never seen one but if it has the 1-piece metal unlayment that is the one you want. Good Luck.

My experience has been that the only ones that fit and have the entire steel underlayment in 1 piece is the original ones. Where I have issues with fit is where the dash screws to the right side and I have extra issues with the lack of the metal flange in the corners where the instrument cluster...
