question about gmc vs chevy
I like GMCs better. In the 1970-80s GMCs were actually rarer. GM made fewer of them. I like that.- BadBowtie

1981-82 Metal Lower Tailgate Mldg
Yeah. thanks for the replies guys. Wish I could get a PN# for a clip. I remember the junkyard truck did not have holes left on the tailgate's sheetmetal, so it must have been those large clips with a LARGE band of 3M adhesive tape that held these things on the early trucks. After all there is... -
1981-82 Metal Lower Tailgate Mldg
I have an early production LOWER tailgate molding that I pulled from a 1981-82 full size truck in a salvage yard in the late 1980s. Fast forward to 2024... What I can not remember is how it was attached??? Was it just several BIG blocks of 3M type double sided tape?? It is item #14 in the... -
Fuel filler issue. This can’t be right.
Today's fuel pumps at the stations run a lot faster than they did when these trucks were new-10 years old. We have to run modern fuel station pumps at the slowest setting, and as some have said, pull the nozzle out some to get a nice, smooth, fuel flow.- BadBowtie

What years will Instrument clusters work for an 86 with auto trans and a/c?
Basically. They interchange from 1976-91. But, if you want to retain your 1986 cruise control, 1983-91. If you find a manual trans cluster, just swap in your original 1986 transmission shift indicator plate and needle. If you have an OD 700R4 and find a 1983 TH350 cluster, again, just swap out...- BadBowtie

Wheel almost fell off while driving…help
I would replace ALL of the wheel studs AND buy new lug nuts if it were my truck. Adding those massive tires do wonders to 35+ year old wheel studs. Be safe- BadBowtie

85 grille to 82 grille swap questions
You will either need to grab the 1981/82 front bumper and run your turnsignals down there or make some custom brackets to use your factory 1983-87 parking lights behind the 1981/82 grill without provisions for grill mounted turn signals.- BadBowtie

Nice truck. Those are just some aftermarket seats added. Regency, Choo-Choo Customs, etc. Doesn't really matter the old name- Just not GM.- BadBowtie

Scottsdale interior door panel trim.
And here I am, thinking these were always just the same Silverado inserts without the stick-on brushed aluminum overlays. -
