    APB - Check your cowl seam seals!

    Glad it was helpful to you! This is one of those areas that often gets overlooked... Even by the original engineers! Why they thought a major sheetmetal seam belonged at the bottom of what is essentially a water pipe is BEYOND me. Post up about your electrical issue over in the electrical...

    APB - Check your cowl seam seals!

    Yes I did. After the seam sealer I painted on about 3 coats of flex seal (clear, though it does not matter) and boy did that stuff go on nice. It smells funny, but it's good stuff. I made sure to paint it right up the sides of the cowl, basically making a channel of flex seal. Water will likely...

    water leak into cab through floor vent over brake pedal

    Something else to pay attention to; https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/apb-check-your-cowl-seam-seals.29801/ The seam at the bottom of the cowl likes to break up and rust, allowing water down between the two layers of steel that form the firewall. The result is water can come in through any...

    water leak into cab through floor vent over brake pedal

    So the water is coming in through the HVAC? I'm having a hard time picturing what you are describing.

    Thougths ?

    Yikes. No title. Needs lots of body work. Missing 90% of the interior. No motor. Trans is trash. Tires are trash. Is there actually anything good about the truck???

    Anyone dealt with LMC Trucks for parts?

    This is 100% a scam. No retailer would ever request this information. Was the request via email? Look up the LMC phone number on their site and call that. Do not trust any contact info in the email as it is likely a fake phishing email. Report all information to LMC. DO NOT SEND THE INFO...

    454 kickback/dieseling after shutdown?

    I had this problem for a while. Just figured it out a couple days ago. Carb was loose. So I had a vacuum leak. Tightened down the carb (summit brand) and no more diesel.

    I'm still interested. I'd be willing to throw some $$ at you to get them shipped. I sent you a PM a couple weeks ago. Let me know man.

    Rusty floor pans best options

    Please keep in mind that it may not be just a heater core causing these rust issues. I also discovered that the firewall leaks where the cowl pinches down and allows water between the layers and down onto the floor. Also watch for the windshield seal. That one likes to leak as it dries out...

    Painlesswiring, American Autowire, or ??????

    I'll add in that I used Painless when I did a relay kit for the windows on my 80 Camaro. Very high quality kit and the instructions were simply amazing. I'm used to getting generalized low-quality instruction with this stuff, but Painless actually included full-color images for all steps, and...

    Part Numbers for a complete Steering Shaft Rebuild

    Pull out that bolt, unbolt the rag joint and the column joint, collapse the shaft where the extra bolt is and take it out. Easy peasy! I can understand why they replaced the plastic with the bolt, regardless of how dangerous it is. The plastic can wear out and cause issues and it can make it...

    What are these?

    Yeah pretty sure that's what that is. I've got a couple of those rolling around in the hardware box. The nut and washer on the ends in the pic almost threw me off.

    Timing issue

    No IAC on a carb, that's EFI stuff. Are you sure you are getting constant 12v to the coil? Does it matter if the motor is hot or cold? How hacked up is the wiring? All sensors and stuff still in place? Emissions stuff?
