    Cut New Dash Pad For Speaker Install?

    The car has speakers and I know where they are mounted. It's just that this particular dash pad does not have holes for speakers. Are the speakers just supposed to sit up under there getting muffled, or are these dash pads made for people who hate music? I'm putting in new speakers as well as a...

    Cut New Dash Pad For Speaker Install?

    It's me! It's me! It's Ernest T! Comin' back atcha' with more questions on how to fix up this damn K5 money pit I am quickly getting buried in! I have the standard 35 year old cracking dash pad. Not only is it cracked, it's actually faded from its original 1980's blue color to a dull dark...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I JUST got through watching a YouTube video with that guy and that truck. Said it started its life as a Georgia DOT truck with AC Delete and that he had located a factory tach for it at some point. I just had a windshield put in my '85 Blazer and I wasn't about to try it myself. There's an auto...

    Rust free Az k20. Nice extras.

    What kind of seats are those? Like did they come out of a different vehicle, or are they custom replacements? I like em'.

    78 - 80 Dash Bezel & Gauge Cluster

    Prefer local pickup but will ship. I will just need to box it up and get a shipping quote from the PO first so I can get a total cost. PM me with any questions or to arrange payment via PayPal F&F. Here is the bezel. I think it's the 78-80 model but I could be mistaken. Has a chip on the upper...

    What Year/Models Did These Gauge Clusters Originally Come In?

    Do you happen to remember if it had one large, circular blue light for the high beams setting, or two smaller, circular lights?

    What Year/Models Did These Gauge Clusters Originally Come In?

    OK, thanks. The only reason I thought it might have come from a later model Suburban is because when I did an image search the only results I was getting with a speedometer w/trip meter and a hi-beam indicator that looked like this one said they were from the later Suburbans. Now the only issue...

    What Year/Models Did These Gauge Clusters Originally Come In?

    Well, even if this is a 90-91 'Burb speedometer, I still have a half assed functioning gauge cluster currently in my Blazer. I can just keep my current speedometer and printed circuit/housing, mix and match the best gauges and other pieces, and then hole saw the housing and drill the crystal for...

    What Year/Models Did These Gauge Clusters Originally Come In?

    Starting to think that this is either a 90-91 Suburban gauge cluster with a pre-87 version fuel gauge or a pre-87 cluster with a 90-91 Suburban speedometer.

    This one has orange lights that say "4 Wheel Drive" on the left and "Service Engine Soon" on the right.

    What Year/Models Did These Gauge Clusters Originally Come In?

    Cool! Thanks for the info! Well, I think I just found one on eBay with all the plugs & wires. I'll just have to figure out where the thing plugs in now. Now I too have one! I just have to wait for it to arrive from the frozen plains of Texas which is no doubt currently experiencing speedy...

    LOL it has been rainy and cold here for like a week straight so I wanted something I could work on indoors today. Just ordered 12 bulbs/sockets for this thing - the old school incandescent kind not LED's.

    What Year/Models Did These Gauge Clusters Originally Come In?

    Well, if it's a direct swap that would be cool. The one currently in my '85 Blazer has two little round plastic windows in the speedometer that light up blue for the hi-beams setting and no trip meter, while this one does have the trip meter and a larger, single, blue plastic window for the...

    Grill refurbish

    I might still do it since I have a new emblem I can use if I screw something up or put it away for a rainy day if the spray paint job actually looks good.

    Grill refurbish

    I can't speak for the GMC version, but the LMC "Premium" (whatever that means) Chevy grille and matching headlight bezels for my '85 look pretty nice as far as I can tell. I also got their emblem spacers to match but their emblem was "backordered". I never mess with anything that is backordered...

    Grill refurbish

    I "refurbished" mine by buying a new grille, new pair of headlight bezels, new Bowtie emblem and spacers. I would have liked to have done a refurb like the ones in this thread but my grille was actually busted. One of the vertical "teeth" on the top row was knocked out and the very top...

    What Year/Models Did These Gauge Clusters Originally Come In?

    I'm kinda scared to crack that 85 MPH one open because of that delicate-looking printed circuit on the back. There are some contacts on the back that look like they fold over on top of the printed circuit. Do you just bend those metal contacts off the printed circuit to remove them? EDIT: Never...

    What Year/Models Did These Gauge Clusters Originally Come In?

    Sorry to keep bombarding you guys with these "Squarebody Noob Questions", but I was just trying to figure out which models these things originally came in. I got these when I bought my Blazer. My temp and oil pressure gauges aren't working right now and figured if the actual gauges were bad...

    Good Source For Those "Blanket" Seat Covers

    I've heard these things called Saddle blanket, Indian Blanket, Baja Blanket, Mexican Blanket, and Aztec Blanket seat covers. I eventually plan on having both front bucket seats and the rear bench seat reupholstered in black leather with a strip of some weird, exotic leather running down the...

    Free To A Good Home - 2X Door Panels - NE GA Area

    I have no use for these. Yes they are totally filthy but should clean up OK with some elbow grease and some TLC. One is a blue or gray (hard to tell with all the dust) drivers side door panel for a Suburban. Has the door lock switch and cluster of 4 window switches plus some wiring in the back...
