After having 2 Optima batteries (one red top, one yellow top) in 2 separate vehicles fail after about a year I decided the heck with that brand and went with an Odyssey Extreme. Pricey but have generally excellent reviews, made in USA (Optima closed their US plant several years ago and moved...
When I ordered my dash they told me upfront 12-16 weeks, which would have been late November. But OK, it’s not like I can’t drive it in the meantime.
I asked them about seat covers. They said 8 weeks as again, they are made to order.
My work truck used mainly for our Search and Rescue activities is a 1997 Ram 3500 with the Cummins diesel and 5-speed manual tranny. One of the few vehicles I have ever bought new it has been a fantastic truck, super reliable. With the exception of a few alternators and batteries the only time...
I have taken it to a local shop that was recommended and the cost is comparable to the cost of the seat covers from USA-1, but with a 3-4 week lead time.

After retiring I started working a couple days a week at a local auto parts store, delivering parts to commercial customers. One day I delivered to one of my favorite customers and spotted a jet black 87 GMC truck on his lot. It caught my eye and I asked him if I could take it home and get it on...

The kit included extra parts, but kept track as I removed...
The 57 BelAir Squarebody :Dhas been in the family for many years. I dropped in a 383 Stroker engine, coupled to a Borg Warner T-10 4-speed gear box. Went thru most everything on it. It’s beautiful and drives great.
Just joined up today. I have an 87 GMC R1500 in wonderful condition, including mostly original paint. Drives great and never fails to get compliments. Have gone thru most of the interior but still waiting on my new dash pad.
