    Where did you order your carpet from?

    Last one with the seat in. i have all new trim and a new headliner just need to get them in. Plan to pull the dash and try to refurb it myself, if it doesn't work out I'll probably buy a new one.

    Where did you order your carpet from?

    I ended up with some free time so yesterday I pulled my interior out. Had 2 broken bolts to deal with but after that things went smooth. I wasn't sure what to expect as I hadn't had the rubber mat up since I put it in 15 or so years ago. All and all things looked good. There was a little...

    Seatbelt question

    I ended up having to trim the plastic in order to get a socket in there. That was not a problem since the won't be seen. I soaked all the bolts from inside and below over night and used some heat and 2 of the 4 seatbelt bolts broke. So I spent the afternoon drilling and re tapping a couple...

    Seatbelt question

    Quick question. It was freezing outside today so I didn't spend much time but I did pull the seat and plastic mat out of my 86 K 10. I got new carpet that I am going to install. Tomorrow I am going to pull it into my pole barn and fire up the wood stove and get everything warm. One thing I...

    Where did you order your carpet from?

    Thanks, I’m sure my wife will love having it spread out somewhere in the house the next couple weeks.

    Where did you order your carpet from?

    My carpet was delivered today. I won't be able to get it installed for a couple weeks based my work schedule. Should I pull it out of the box and let it sit more flat somewhere or should I assume it's been rolled up in a box since it was manufactured and another couple weeks won't hurt anything?

    Where did you order your carpet from?

    I ended up ordering the carpet with mass backing from Rock Auto. Also ordered Dynamat from Amazon and new sill plates from LMC. The only main project left on the interior is the dash pad. I am going to try to re do it myself following some of the tips on here. If it doesn't work out Ill just...

    Where did you order your carpet from?

    Thanks, from what I am seeing Rock Auto is cheaper with the better backer than what LMC is with the standard carpet. Looks like Rock Auto is going to be the cheapest, at least for this brand carpet with the mass backing.

    Where did you order your carpet from?

    Thinking about going from the rubber mat I currently have to black carpet. Rock Auto has the ACC black with mass backing for just under $200.00, this includes shipping. From what I have read just about everyone sells the ACC brand carpet. Are there any other retailers selling the molded...

    Adding a headrest to a bench seat

    Just curious, does anyone actually "use" a headreast? I always just thought it was there to prevent whip lash... In my 46 years I've never set in a seat with my head just resting against the headrest....

    My 350 shutting off while driving

    Trying not to be rude, so don't take it that way, but based on the questions you are asking it would be easier just to take it to someone.

    My 350 shutting off while driving

    I would find a local shop or mechanic that you trust. An engine randomly shutting off twice in a day could be any number of things. Has the oil issue stopped since you had the rear main replaced. 2 quarts every 400 miles is a lot. Also, is there a reason you think it has low compression or...

    What did you pay for a square

    I bought my truck (77 K 20) in 2004 for $500.00. Body was rusted and hanging off of it. Drive train 350/350 and all the 4 WD components worked great. Drug it home to a friends house and we took the body off. While looking for a body (ended up with an 86) we stripped the frame and coated with...

    LMC Headliner question

    I thought about the bungee cords but have a new paint job so thought about just using another set of hands. Thanks for the info on the screw holes.

    LMC Headliner question

    So curious, as I finally plan to install the headliner in the next week or so. I temporarily installed all the new interior trim to make sure all the holes lined up before I started messing with the headliner. All the trim went in without an issue. Now when I get some time with my neighbor we...

    Bondo question

    Thanks, I've seen that link. That is what got me to the bondo. After reading through that thread I went to youtube and more people were using bondo or fiberglass than were using spray from.

    Bondo question

    Thanks for the info. I am going to look around to see if anyone local does them. I've seen some with bondo to just fill the cracks and some with a complete bondo skim coat.

    Bondo question

    I am thinking a bout repairing my dash before I drop $400 plus on a new one. If it works great, if not then I'll buy one. Watching a lot of youtube videos I see a lot of people using bondo. Some fill the cracks with it and many people end up putting a skim coat on the dash and basically treat...

    How To Refurbish Your Dashpad

    So I am curious for those of you who did these repairs a few years ago.... I am thinking of doing mine and spoke with a body man about this process and he said in his opinion it is likely to crack right back in the same repaired areas. I am curious if you guys have experienced this or if the...

    Vent Windows

    Did you buy a full kit that had all the hardware in it or did you just buy a few pieces. I too thought $200.00 plus per side was high but then someone told me a full kit with all the seals, latches, etc. was around $130.00. I honestly didn't ask if that was per side of for both sides. If...

    Vent Windows

    Has anyone sent their in to precision lately and have a ball park on the price? At first I wasn't interested because I had heard it was around 250.00 per side. Which I thought was too high. But someone yesterday told me if you buy all of the new parts to completely rebuild mine the cost is...

    Vent Windows

    I am thumbing my way through all the videos and posts on vent window rebuilds. For those that I have done it I have a couple questions. First off I have a friend who owns an automotive glass company and he is going to do the labor for me so I am just shopping for the parts. From what I have...
