    Cruise control removal

    I would unhook it from the pod of the cruise, fire it up and put your thumb over it, see if anything makes any difference, then depress th epedal with it running and do the same check to see if any vacuum is present. and now I need to go do that very thing LOL

    Cruise control removal

    I would simply unhook the vacuum line and remove it from said t or connector and put a plug in it's place. The wires run all the way inside and up the column you'll have to cut those off or you'll have to really loosen up the column brackets and the one that wraps the column with 4 bolts and...

    What would cause the gas gauge to peg past full?

    ours doesn't move at all now it just stays pegged past full. I know for sure ours is the lil stud on top of the unit and not the frame side of the ground, we've always had troubles with it. On a side note I've got an 86 gmc here now and it's the opposite it stays on empty when I put over 6...

    I've got an 84 c10 here that's done it several times it's the ground not getting connection on it. I know because I tried to tighten it up and then it pegged past full.

    Rear window visor

    Those fiberglass ones that bolt on the bed or cab won't work, I mean they fit but rain will come in. The bed mounted as posted above sits behind the cab so rain comes right down, sitting still anyways driving it may stay out alot rain wise. The other style as I had for my s10 that bolts on the...

    Body lift swap

    that picture of your front core support mount and the one of the front cab mount is exactly how the back cab mounts have to be those steel cups with a rubber bushing inside or polyurethane ones. I had to get some for the 83 I had, thought they were missing but found em later. I know lmc has...

    Body lift swap

    yes there's a metal cup with a bushing that sits on top of the frame and a cupped washer and bushing under the frame and bolt going thru them all. It's the same for the front cab mounts and then you have the radiator support ones as well.
