    Aluminum side molding removal

    Any tricks or special tools for removing the aluminum rear side molding on my 75 Blazer? I remove the screw back by the tailgate and can easily slide the molding back a few inches until the front end hits the clip. How do you release the molding from the clips without destroying anything?

    LMC Dash Pad Supplier

    Shopping for a dash pad for my Blazer and was looking at LMC. Read here that their pads were supplied by Dashes Direct, but when I asked LMC they said that was not true. They also didn’t volunteer who their supplier was. I figured maybe someone here would know. Dashes Direct is out of my dash...

    What is this please!

    Can somebody tell me what this part is? It’s bolted to the inner fender on the passenger side on my 75 Blazer, which was originally a 350 engine. I looked thru the factory service manuals for the heating system but just don’t see it!

    My 75 Blazer Cheyenne has this trim around the door panels and also on the panels in the rear cargo area. On the doors the trim has worn where arms have rested on it over the years. Does anybody know if this trim is available anywhere? Looked at LMC and a couple other places with no success.

    Hood bumper question

    I bought this set of hood bumpers for my 87 R1500 and just don’t see where all 6 bumpers go? 4 of them were obvious and popped in no problem. Wondering if these kits are simply generic and some trucks need all 6?

    I finally gave up.

    After waiting 18 months for my dash pad kit, I finally gave up and told USA1 to pound sand. What a frustrating experience. I should have done this months ago. Needless to say will NEVER place an order with USA1 again. Once the refund clears I will be dash pad shopping again. Any...

    My shift position indicator is off and needs adjusting to point at the selected position. It seems the adjustment would consist of removing the clip that secures the shift position indicator cable from the column and then reattaching it to get everything lined up properly. Am I correct? Can you...
