    Redoing the Floor pans in an 82, a bit of Carnage, HELP!

    I've watched about 15 videos in the last few days. Seen a lot of stuff, but none seemed to be rusted up on that seat hump. I've also been scouring the various venders, NPD, LMC, Amd, etc... None of them have I seen any panels that look like they get that far up on the seat hump. This panel...

    Custom bed work/shaving???

    When I bag my POS... I plan on raising the bed floor high enough that the Compressors, tank, valves, etc all fit underneath, also clearing 22-24" wheels. So, the bed itself may only be about 6" deep. With that I want to make the inside bedside, where they go straight down from the inside rail...

    Has anybody modded the sun visors?

    Really, I never knew that. I learn something new here almost every time I come.

    Just bought my dream pickup!

    I dig it. Looks like it is a good starting point and has great potential. My beast suffers from things the previous owner did to it as well. Especially behind the dash. Its hard to find a 40+ (or close to 40) year old truck that one or more folks haven't completely molested doing their thing...

    Gauge stuck past full (3 O'clock)

    I'm having a similar, but maybe different issue. When I go to the pump and fill it, FULL. the gauge reads a tank and a half. LOL.... It never flakes out or moves erratically and it seems to move to reflect fuel usage. I'm not completely sure if moves as it should, just off by at least a...

    Has anybody modded the sun visors?

    I've wondered about that too. Where would you run the wires to hide them going up the Pillars? On much newer trucks they have those long plastic trim pieces that you could hide them behind. I don't think these trucks get them till the next Generation, unless maybe its the late 80s ones do...

    Redoing the Floor pans in an 82, a bit of Carnage, HELP!

    The more I look at it, the more overwhelmed I get. I think the worst part is in pics 03 and 04... On three, I don't even know what to say.... On 4, the part that really worries me is where the rust really gets up on that hump where the bench seat sits, that the tank is under. Looking at...

    steering column swap

    Man, I envy you guys that your dad taught you car and mechanical stuff... My dad (love and respect the heck outta him) had a really bad temper and did not want me anywhere around when he was working on cars. Him or my uncles were always POed and throwing something. Not a knock on my dad, it...

    Redoing the Floor pans in an 82, a bit of Carnage, HELP!

    Also, what is that stuff that looks like some type of painted Sealant/Paper thats a large sheet on each side? I'm trying to peel that crap up and its either not coming or just ripping. I ment to get more up under the dash, looks much better up there. I think one of this trucks problems...

    Redoing the Floor pans in an 82, a bit of Carnage, HELP!

    So I've made a few posts about my troubles getting out all the seat/seatbelt bolts and whatnot. Now I have everything out and I'm assessing the damage. Its not good, at all, but seen several posted here and other places that are worse. I think I need the following: Cab Floors L and R Inner...

    Seat belt bolts in '82 C10

    At lunch today, I finally got all the Seat/Seatbelt related bolts out of my Floor. I went to Harbor Freight (my new best friend) and picked up this HF Torx Bit Socket Set , the same type, but allen head and a 25" Breaker bar wrench. It took some elbow mustard, 2 55 gallon drums of PBlaster and...

    Question on Shaved doors and maybe other stuff.

    Any Idea what Poppers and Solenoids you used? My thought is, IF, I do this, I plan on bagging it 1st. With that, the bed floor will be raised the height of a 8gallon tank with a pressure switch and gauge sender on the top port. So when you fold the tailgate down, there would be a gap between...

    I don't know where else to post this so...

    I did not even realize that was a thing here and I was missing stuff. I've not seen this Xenforo Forum software before. But, I will say, being a new guy here and having ran or helped run other forums in the past I get it. I think they (the powers that be) made the "50 post" decision in efforts...

    Hood not sitting flush

    I think thats how mine sits... I'll deal with it for now. Way too many other irons in the fire, but it'll need worked out before it gets painted.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well, I got somewhat motivated on Sunday. I wanted to take out the seats, carpet and any underlayment and see what kinda rust I might be dealing with before I do much else. I got all the seat bolts out, the seat belt roller mechanisms on either side of the bench seat. Got one out, will have to...

    Multimeters?

    +3 or whatever were up too on the Flukes. I'm not a hard core user by any means, but I've used them for various things over the last 30+ years at home and at work. I bet I end up using it a lot on this truck. I have had a few Analogs from Radio Shack, Sears, Homie D and Lowes and several...

    CB Radio Antenna Recommendations?

    Interesting topic. I have never seen a Am/FM, Cassette, CB radio all in one unit. Also, Antennas are a funny thing. I don't think most of the really small antennas you see going to preform very well in comparison to the long Ugly Whips as they are of a certain length for a reason. I mean I...

    steering column swap

    How hard is a Steering column swap??? I have an 82. I'd like to get one with tilt. Not sure if it would be worth the cost and effort just for tilt.

    Question on Shaved doors and maybe other stuff.

    So any answer to question 2???? Should be easy one for anyone that had shaved doors or has been in one. I need to dig out my stack of mags and look for ones that are shaved, then peep out the interior, just thought this would be quicker. Also, It does seem like it would still have them, I...

    Question on Shaved doors and maybe other stuff.

    Question 1. Who all has shaved doors or has had them? While saving up for new Bed Panels and doors and looking at parts on LMC and other places, I see the fillers for Shaved Door handles, locks, bed stakes, tailgate handle relocators and other things. I'm pretty sure I am going to go for this...
