Agreed. That ain't bad looking but never seen that before. Where the heck do these come from?
And now I'm curious--- is that what the inner metal frame of the factory dash, sans the old poly-crumble-padding we're all trying to replace,--- looks like stripped 'nekid?
Which now makes me wonder...
Wow. Thanks for that write up Tinstar, had no idea DashDesigns made WHOLE dashboards--- and that they don't fit very good~! To be clear though, what I got from them is a dash cover, made of cloth w/backing held down by Velcro strips. It protects a nice new dashboard from sun damage. It is NOT...
What is your boost tube lacking there, about 1/2 inch too tall? The way I'm looking at it and what I believe I see--- at the turbo end--- is a blue rubber collar/hose that would be hose-clamped at the turbo flange. Is that collar/hose something that can be clearanced, and possibly, some...
Not that there aren't tons of great and helpful posts,tips and How To's here on Steel Soldiers, (many have helped me tremendously) for your 6.2L Detroit Diesel I highly recommend getting some of those books by The Diesel Page guys, one in particular; "The 6.2L/6.5L Diesel Troubleshooting &...
Mostly, I never promote or recommend products unless it's really impressive and these Dash Designs really are--- impressive. Got one for my Nissan Xterra and it truly is custom made and fits perfect. Cannot praise these covers enough~! Also, another item I bought at the same time was a...
No--- Thank YOU~! Valuable info, that GM Resto logo, was not aware of such a thing. And agreed, mine is no collector's show truck either, just want a decent fit. Also have 2 more 76-89 vintage GM trucks in rebuild process, both longbed stepsides and both need their actual bed-sides replaced---...
Nice job~! I'm curious David, where/who are some of your aftermarket parts sources for these model year GM's? Specifically, I'm looking for interior pieces like dashpad/full-dash, door panels, carpet kits and window rubber/seals. Have been looking at sources like LMC and Classic Parts but...
Saw this online and it looks kind of weird especially since we only had that San Bernardino terrorist shooting last December. What is even weirder is that this place these guys were apprehended is a popular shooting/camping area.

My printed circuit board replacement is on hold for now and I haven't even fished the gauge cluster out from the dash yet. However. from the looks of it, it seems easier to remove the whole dash pad then get after the cluster. That I haven't done yet.
Meanwhile, since dumb questions are my...
Drove my 1008 most of last year to a job out by Hinkley, CA, yep that Hinkley: the Erin Brockovich story. Site was a solar energy project with a round trip of 110 miles of which 20 were completely off-road. In fact, the main road leading to the site was never maintained and rutted so bad I...
Huh--- 60 percent? Wow~! You guys must have some really strict laws in your state 'cause where we live it's more like 100 percent NADA~! Figured they must have repealed the turn signal laws here in my state and I'm the only one who didn't know it... I'm always behind the times like that~!
Scored a deal on a case of twelve Baldwin B1428 oil filters and mostly use whatever 15w40 is on sale at Costco, which is usually either Mobile DelVac or Chevron Delo 400. Around here you won't get oil any cheaper.
Used to use the AC Delco 1218's but I read some bad stuff about them being the...
