    GM part number for door latches

    Looking to buy some NOS door latches for both doors on my '77 K15, but I'd like to search for them by the correct GM part number so I know I'm getting the correct ones. I've seen them listed by several different part #s on eBay, so it's kinda confusing. Does anyone know what they are for each...

    15x10 with 3.5" backspacing?

    I still want those wheels with that backspace lol.... they look badass. Where exactly will I need to trim the fenders? And will I still be able to use the original wheel opening trim if I do it? Or would it be better to just get a 6" lift instead of 4"?

    15x10 with 3.5" backspacing?

    Looks like I can get them in 15x9 with 4.5" BS... would that be any better?

    15x10 with 3.5" backspacing?

    I'm thinking about getting some new 15x10 US Mag Indys for my '77 K15. 4" BDS lift, 35x12.50 tires are being used. These seem to only be available with 3.5" of backspacing. Does anybody know if that will work OK?

    Western Bullets

    Does anybody have a picture of a set of Western Bullets on a K10/K15? I've got an opportunity to buy a restored set of 15x10s, complete with center caps and lug nuts/washers. Interested to know if the original style flat caps will clear the hubs?

    NP203 boot

    I've been looking. Nothing but used. Some are in OK shape. But I think a leather one would look really nice in the truck. I might have to just have one made at an upholstery shop. If my mom was still alive, she'd be able to make me a nice one.

    NP203 boot

    Has anybody had any luck with a universal leather shift boot for their 203 that works with the stock trim ring, or comes with one that will work? I'd like to retain the shift plate if possible, but I can get a ball with the pattern instead if I have to. I got the one from USA1, but it just...

    Door wiring conduits

    That's why the body shop is doing mine lol. I got the conduits from USA1 or LMC, can't remember where. They're round on both ends.

    Thanks! I never even noticed the dimples. I'll pass this along to the body shop.

    Floor mats

    Anyone know if the '81-87 floor mats will fit the floor on the '73-80 trucks? '77 K15 automatic.

    Door wiring conduits

    I'm doing a power window/lock conversion on my '77, and the truck has no door conduits, nor the holes where they would go if it was so equipped. Can someone with a '77-80 truck take a pic and some measurements for me so I know where to drill the holes in the door and the front of the cab? Thanks!

    Dakota Digital RTX gauge cluster

    Yeah, I had considered that too. Did a bunch of research on it a while back, figuring out what parts I'd need to make it all work with the old style dash switch. Kinda forgot all about it over the last few months though lol.

    Dakota Digital RTX gauge cluster

    You are right, everything made today is chinese junk. I've been buying OEM and NOS parts for the truck whenever possible. USA made stuff for most of the rest. I got the Squarebody Syndicate shortened steering column, made in USA by Ididit. Solid, all metal quality piece. These US made...

    Dakota Digital RTX gauge cluster

    Yeah, that's the main reason I'm doing it all. Peace of mind. My truck isn't a daily, and it's in really good shape. Amazing shape, actually. But It's almost 50 years old lol. Who knows how much longer you'll be able to get glass fuses. I'm OCD too when it comes to wiring. I'll spend 2...

    Dakota Digital RTX gauge cluster

    Yeah, it looks like the crimper is the only thing that's different. At least in the pix on the other guy's Amazon link. I'll get the square ones if they worked for you. I'm glad I decided to look for install threads for these. I found the BIM mounting bracket, a factory instrument cluster...
