    Door Seal to big

    I was slamming mine fairly hard after putting in new LMC ones. I then put some pex pipe around the striker and it is way better. Then new striker had a piece of plastic around them from factory. If your striker is missing the plastic, try the pex pipe trick

    Bump Stops

    I trimmed the new ones I got from LMC. Just enough to get them in there. They aren't coming out on their own even after trimming. Lots of lube as well

    Metal work

    Don't forget to have a good look at your front cab supports as well. They are prone to rusting out

    Noise in transmission while clutch is engaged sm465

    Like everyone has said it's either the throw out bearing or pilot bearing/bushing. I will attach a picture to show where the pilot bearing/ bushing is located

    Headliner questions

    I used 1 can for my regular cab. I would get 3 for a suburban, maybe 4. I tried to use gorilla glue adhesive spray first, but that has to be the worst spray adhesive I’ve ever used

    This was an pretty much exact match for my 85 with burgundy interior

    Headliner questions

    Permatex has the best spray on adhesive for headliners. I bought my foam backed material off Amazon. It was the only place I could find it

    Has anyone have experience using a bed lift?

    I made exactly what JEGS is selling. I didn’t know you could buy them. Like someone else mentioned there is a problem with the height on your hoist. To fix this issue, I removed my wheels and set the truck on jackstands as low as they go. I have restored 3 different trucks and used this lift for...

    Removing Pilot Bearing//Is it as bad as I hear?

    I have used the bread method and it worked like a charm. Not sure who “debunked it”, but they must not have done it properly. The key is, the cut off bolt you pound in there has to be a snug fit

    Never mind, I spotted the access holes to the nuts on the backside and drilled one hole and squared it up from there

    Badges

    Need to know where to drill the holes for the badges. Threw the old fenders out without realizing the new ones didn’t have the holes

    What is it?

    Would this have been for the ESC as well?

    What is it?

    Yeah, I sold my 78 after I restored it. I have an 72, 85, and a 98 now!

    What is it?

    So is it necessary to hook this up? And would it be ported or manifold vacuum? Whoever owned the truck before me pulled out all the EGR stuff so maybe they pulled this hose out at the same time. It’s an 85 by the way

    What is it?

    Hey this is located on my firewall and I do not know what it is. Electrical connection on one side and what looks like a vacuum connection on the other. Hasn’t been hooked up since I’ve owned the truck.

    Stock Differential Covers

    My 78 did not have the fill port in the stock cover, it was in the housing itself

    Three on the tree

    Mine was a 72 and not as much electrical in the column

    Three on the tree

    Sometimes all it takes to fix the shifting is to remove the shift lever and spray WD40 into your column. There are some videos on YouTube . It made mine much smoother.

    Talk me out of this...

    I’ve got the Sm465 in my 78 gmc. Don’t like it much because of the throw between gears. It is a very good transmission though. I’ve also got an NV4500 in my 1998 gmc and like it about better. It’s just nice driving it. It must be a good transmission as well to have lasted so long too

    Front yoke hitting crossmember

    It is in backwards. Hard to see I in this picture, but The indented part is on my driver's side. Easy fix! Thanks for the help!
