    Crazy question

    Thanks to everyone, I know that the gold standard fix is to pull the bed and replace the panel but that is not going to happen. Sooooooooo, I decided to fix it. I used a cutting wheel to cut out the thin, rusty, stuff. used an air hose nozzle to blow out all the loose rust that was inside (no...

    Washer fluid??

    I replaced my wiper switch because it really did go bad. All was good, until I went out today and flipped on the wipers and the fluid started squirting out and would not stop. So Saskcheyenne75, did cleaning the connection/contacts work?

    Crazy question

    Thanks Waylon, it is looking more and more that I will just have to do some body work. I just had my gas tank dropped to install a new sending unit and replace 40+ year old dry rotting hoses so do not want to deal with that ball of wax again. So, on to body work. I am fairly meticulous so...

    Crazy question

    Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I would LOVE to just replace the panel, but have been told that I have to unbolt the bed, disconnect the rear wiring harness, and have on hand 2 other people to slide the bed back. Now, unbolting the bed, after 40+ years may be a challenge, but do-able...

    Ok, thanks. I will investigate the welding. So has anyone seen this happen before? How do I keep it from happening again?

    LED light question

    Thanks, I am waiting on my exterior lights and bulbs. When all is installed, will see if a resister is needed. Thanks for the help

    Crazy question

    Okay, for what ever reason, the front bed panel has rusted at the roll. Anyone else seen this happen? Anyway, I have blown out all the loose rust, thoroughly coated the interior areas with rust converter, then encapsulator. I have filled the minor holes with body fill. But I have an area...

    LED light question

    I am changing all my lights, interior and exterior, to LEDs. I found really close to stock lights that I will send in PM if interested. My question is, with the LED change over, I've seen videos that just install them, I've seen videos that add resistors. I've seen videos that add a new head...

    Slight hood bow

    Thanks all. It is actually not THAT bad. It sticks up maybe 1/2 inch. If I push it down it is less obvious. I think I need to get new hood bumpers though. 43 year old bumpers getting a little stiff. Just my baby since 1978.

    Slight hood bow

    So, my hood, on passenger side has a slight bow and doesn't set exactly flush with fender. I think it happened when I was closing the hood and the hinge stuck a little (fixed that with some quirt in lithium). The hoods on these trucks, from what I have read, have a built in wrinkle spot (which...

    Cowl cleaning surprise!

    My cowl was really rusted badly and water would come into the cab. Since I am doing a cab restore, before I moved forward, my focus was on sealing up the leaks. The seam seal "seemed" to be intact. So, right or wrong, I used fiberglass resin and poured over the seam seal and then after cure I...

    Looking for wierd part

    Thanks, will consider that. I could just either leave it open or put some black duct tape over the hole. There is just something about restoring a vehicle that you have owned since the day it rolled off the line that you want to make it all correct.

    Looking for wierd part

    Hello all, I am in search for a part. I have not been able to find the "foot cooler" that is part of the left distribution duct by any search on internet or Ebay. GM manual lists it, but I am unable to find it for sale anywhere. Any ideas? My next check is my favorite bone yard.

    Got a at gap air handler & defrost duct I read the past post...

    I thought I was the only one with this problem!!! :) My truck interior is in a state of complete overhaul, restoration, waterproofing. When putting the heater/AC ducts back in place, I saw that. Since I could not get the defroster venting to seat right, I just closed that gap up with foam...

    Occasionally wiper start.

    Okay, was able to get the knob popped off. Now, does the plastic piece go in first or the spring? Since I didn't see it come out, I have no idea and maybe nobody does either. Just checking.

    Occasionally wiper start.

    A little spring fell out of my wiper switch and I cannot figure out how to get the knob off the switch to see if I can reseat it as I think I know where it goes. I still have my push for washer fluid so not sure the need for this little spring. Any help is appreciated. I ordered a new wiper...

    Security Systems

    Okay, I do fear mine getting stolen. I have had WAY too many people over the years asking me if I would consider selling it, not including the notes I find on my windshield. Hell, there have been riding lawn mowers stolen right off the lot in a small community across the mountain from me...

    Under dash light

    Dave, I had my cluster completely out, gauges removed and cleaned up the inside of the case and painted it bright white. I have seen YouTube videos that the inside was sprayed silver for more reflection of light. I believe it was 8 or 9 for cluster, 1 for washer switch, 1 for temp control...

    Correct Fuse for Blower motor

    In my handy-dandy 1978 Chevrolet Light Duty Truck Service Manual, it states in Section 1A "Heater", "Blower and Air Inlet Assembly" that"Located in the fuse block, in series between the blower motor and the battery, is a 25 am. fuse C-k models..." When I look at the fuse block, and a schematic...
