    Restored bumper guards, and new bumper installed

    Thanks! That's a good question. I'm not sure. These bumper guards came with the truck, but they were in the toolbox in the bed, vs installed. So I just bought a bumper for a 1980, and they fit. Maybe I got lucky, or maybe they're the same for all the years that used this style of bumper. But...

    Restored bumper guards, and new bumper installed

    My original bumper had some bends in it, some extra holes drilled in it for fog lights that don't exist, and it had some other issues that made it so I couldn't get the bumper guards to line up properly so I could actually use them. So, I got a new bumper from GMC Paul's. Quality is good...

    79’ round eye to 80’ square eye

    They say it's chrome, but is it metal or is it cheap plastic that's painted chrome? Have not been impressed with the quality of Brother's parts as of late. Hell, even the metal grille parts are thin and cheap. Buyer beware, because once you pay shipping to you, return shipping back to them...

    Does anyone know who made this cupholder?

    It's a 20 oz. Doesn't fit perfect, but doable. I have another Wylde Gear tumbler that fits a little better, since it's a tad more narrow at the bottom. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Does anyone know who made this cupholder?

    Yes, same one. The screw you see is just the metal ring that goes around the rubber boot Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Talk me out of cutting my dash

    The radio has an option in settings, where you can pick from all sorts of colors. I even figured out after this picture, how to make all the buttons orange like the gauge needles, and the display red like the paint on my truck. Pretty cool stuff Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Talk me out of cutting my dash

    The car audio place did it. It's black plastic that's about 1/4" thick, that they cut in the shape of the space behind the radio Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Talk me out of cutting my dash

    Here's what I went with. It has Bluetooth for music and also for phone calls. You'll notice I have the mic above the heat control. I can hit the voice button, and use Google command to do pretty much anything. If you have an iPhone, it is siri ready. If you're still stuck on using CD's, you're...

    Air blowing out dash vents even when defrost or heat is selected?

    The fan blower motor is always on when the key is in the on position. You can test it by turning the control all the way off, and then turn the key to on, and you'll hear the blower motor still spinning slowly. It's likely a feature to help circulate air in the cab so that exhaust fumes aren't...

    stumbling a bit. need direction

    I'd replace cap, rotor, plugs, and plug wires. Replace fuel filter, and run a good gas additive in the tank. If you don't see a choke, that could definitely be a lot of your problems, especially depending on the temperature. Change the oil and filter and drain and fill the radiator. Try that...

    New floor and question.

    I'd paint the floor with Rustoleum bedliner, then carpet the cab and then use some good rubber floormats on top of that. Sent from my SM-T720 using Tapatalk

    What to do...

    Probably, but they can always get bent more significantly during shipping, a customer could have returned them after they dicked with them and then the store resold them, or any number of reasons. It's so easy to check them, may as well Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    What to do...

    Probably goes without saying, but make sure you adjust the gap on all the plugs Sent from my SM-T720 using Tapatalk

    Does anyone know who made this cupholder?

    My T case is off set to the right as well, but it looked like it might interfere with the handle of my fire extinguisher if I moved it to the left. It also seemed like it would look a little better being centered on the knob, not to mention in line with the CB radio, and it gives me plenty of...

    What to do...

    There's not much to them. Remove them, clean them, clean the bolts/screws, and clean the area behind each bolt screw on the frame or wherever they are connected. You may need to use steel wool. If any are cut or frayed badly, replace them Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    What to do...

    But what if there is a problem with the cables due to age from rubbing, bad connector, etc that may or may not always exhibit a symptom? Maybe it only happens when hitting a big enough bump, washboard road, extreme hot or cold? Would it not be best to just replace the cables, where they are an...

    What to do...

    Battery cables are cheap insurance. Just replace them. On an old truck, they are suspect anyway. You may need to put a 90 degree bend in the positive cable on the opposite end from the battery. The stock cable fits a little different than the aftermarket (even high quality) cables. If you don't...

    Nice of you to take the time to explain the difference, instead of being a dick by trying to shame him with the whole line "you don't know what HEI looks like!?!?" Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

    Starts but quickly dies, any low tech tips for diagnosis?

    Adjust the choke further to the notches on the left so the choke opens more quickly. Also, make sure when it's below freezing, pump the gas twice and then start it without touching the gas. If it's winter and above freezing, try just one pump and then start it without touching the gas. Sent...

    That's a nice offer, and I would have gladly paid you for it plus shipping, but it's not quite what I'm looking for. Sent from my SM-T720 using Tapatalk

    Does anyone know who made this cupholder?

    And to make matters worse, it cost like $12 to ship it to me, and if I sent it back, I'd have to pay probably twice that in postage on my dime as well, which means I'm stuck with it. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
