    TBI needs valve seals and intake gasket - fix what I have or upgrade?

    If it is not your daily driver, fix what you have. If daily driver you should get complete heads and install on your day off. .02 Eric

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well, I knew better..... but. I was reinstalling the trim in the drivers side kick panel and the e brake was in the way. I knew I should take the brake out, or get a stubby screw driver. I could not resist the urge. So I depressed the e brake tightened the screw, pulled the release handle...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    So a task I have been dreading... I got the white letters on the tailgate where they go on the embossed letters. Patience was my friend thankfully. Eric

    Single glass side window/Wing delete

    If you have windows that have rusted tracks, and not the patience for the vent window rebuild, I totally get it. I almost went that route till I found my donor windows. Eric

    Visor mount; over or under trim?

    When I put my interior back in, the differance between lmc parts and factory were subtle, but caused frustration. I re drilled a bunch of trim holes to make it all fit correctly. Eric

    Best source for a new dash pad for my ‘87? LMC? Brothers? Other?

    My lmc issue was that the pad was just too damn short. No matter how you fit the thing you came up short in length. I settled on the best fit of all the trys, which left the gap on the drivers side around the dash bezel. By the time I realized we were fooked, the new monkey at the shop had...

    Drill and tap wheels for center caps?

    Just did this project. The wagon wheels I got have a raised section just like the factory rims. Drilled and tapped, mount the factory center caps. Eric

    Best source for a new dash pad for my ‘87? LMC? Brothers? Other?

    Got mine at lmc, It fits badly on the drivers side corner around the dash bezel. For what I paid I am not happy, but living with it. Eric

    Dash Alignment

    Same here. I installed the lmc pad and the right corner looks like $hit. Longer screws for the instrument panel helped a lot, but not perfect. Eric

    What have you done to your square lately??

    So I left the body shop 10 days ago, with what I thought was a short punch list to finish up. I have concluded that these trucks are never finished. lol Any whoo I drilled and tapped the white wagon wheels today to accept the factory rally center caps. It was a tedious proccess but i think...

    Drove while 2 quarts low on oil

    When my 87 5.7 took a crap 2 years ago, the esc shut the motor down. I waited and it started and i drove it for 3 days knocking like a sum bit. When I tore the motor down, I swear to this day had I just been smart enough to change the oil pump and do the heads, she would still be driving. lol...

    Anyone bought this floor mat?

    So I did a hybrid install. I used the sound deadener stuff from summit, the big squares. Peel and stick. Then I installed the oem style pad that came with the floor mat from lmc. It all worked out well. I trolled the web, and watched the videos and settled on summit cause it was in stock...
