    Side Marker Gasket

    Yeah...I have some self adhesive foam made for appliances I was going to use if I couldn't find something..just seemed weird everywhere else there is a gasket but not at this particular exterior light..

    Side Marker Gasket

    I don't have it back yet to check, but it seems like at the very least the metal trim would be scratching the paint?

    Side Marker Gasket

    Hey All! So the big dog is coming home from the paint shop (after almost a year, I didn't push it as I had other things to deal with) and I'm trying to get everything I need to put it back together. I got the full weatherstrip kit from Precision and the body guys got that going but I realized...

    Seat belts

    I actually did not have that problem... there seem to be very few people wanting to give seatbelt advice, probably from a liability perspecitve which I understand, but I would assume you need to really get into the mechanism and find out whats going on..

    Suburban Interior Trim

    I believe you are indeed correct! I went to the GM Heritage Center and looked up the specs for 1981 and 1984...the 84 sheet does spec out plastic and vinyl in the rear quarters of the Silverado, 81 does not. The other interesting thing is that the rear quarter windows had a significant amount...

    Suburban Interior Trim

    Hey All! I'm picking back up my project as it should be back from the paint shop shortly (hopefully anyways) after being there since Oct 23! I wasn't in a hurry as I had a few other project to finish up. I went to the junkyard yesterday as they had a 1984 Chevy Suburban 2wd, barn doors (mine...

    Seat belts

    Quick update...I still wasn't able to crack the code on getting these things apart so I pulled the belts out as far as thy could go, clamped them with a spring clamp and washed them in a tile mortar tub with some simple green. They came out awesome! With the buckles, I just shot them out with...

    Seat belts

    Hey All! I am waiting to get my Burb back from the paint shop and I have been trying to get all the interior pieces done up so they are ready to install. I am looking at the seat belts and have seen some great restorations on this an another site. One post showed a tutorial and what I think...

    Emblem clean up

    Hey All, I found some stuff from Chemical Guys I have been using on just about every plastic/rubber part I have put my hands on in the Burb and this stuff is as advertised..It's called VRP and I used it along with some spray wax and 0000 steel wool to clean up my fender emblems and I was...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    I bet...just looking at the draw of that amp I'm wondering if with the truck RUNNING it is going to be an issue?! Can I simply add another battery for the alternator to charge just for capacity or do I need to wire in relays/switches/etc?

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    That's a clean install I think! One of things that gets underestimated is the knowledge you gain from doing something like that yourself from the ground up...something he can do with his kids someday! Priceless

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    I appreciate it Scribbles! I'm fairly committed at this point with the four 3.5" in the dash, the 4x10 rears and a 12" sealed sub...I have 96sf of Kilmat to spread around too so hopefully that helps my acoustics a bit. I'm not listening to classical music but would like some reasonable...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    I appreciate all the advice! You are correct, I am nowhere near an audiophile but would like some relatively clean tunes watching the sunset from the tailgate! I actually did have to call Cerwin Vega because the 3.5" speakers had 3 different RMS ratings..25w on the website description, 30w in...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    Thanks Randy! I picked up this amp as it looked like the best fit for my sitch.. Another technical question....I'm assuming as long as I hook up speakers between 2-8 ohms the amp will automatically "see" the correct impedance and adjust current accordingly? I guess the reason I ask is because...

    how to mount an amplifier behind behind front seat

    Hey there! I'm looking for an amp to go under the front bench seat in an '81 Burb...however at the moment I don't have the seats to check clearances..any ideas the dimensions on your amps? Thanks a bunch!

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    Hey Randy, any idea what the dimensions on that amp are? I did a cardboard mock up of the one I was looking at (23x7x3) and it doesn't look like its going to fit under the seat....although I doesn't have the seats at the moment it looks too tall at 3" and too long at 23"

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    Yeah....I was trying to go simple and now I'm down the rabbit hole! I just wanted to drop in the 4x10's to the stock location and be done but running 6x9's in those spots with a spacer probably the way to go...like you said in the beginning, haha I thought about 2 amps as well before I found...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    Ok...so I'm rounding up parts and I think I'm almost there but I need a 5 channel amp: Head Unit- Pioneer dmh c2550nex- It allows for remote mounting of the touchscreen/headunit so I am going to be able to mount the unit in stock radio location and secure the touchscreen to a mount without...

    Those are pretty slick! $2k seems pricey...you could probably have someone weld one up for 1/4 that?

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    $400 does seem steep for some MDF made into a circle...I have 32's on mine but I put a 31 inch spare in there because I really don't like the idea of driving around with a spare! Mine wasn't all that difficult, just made a template with cardboard of the wheel well and trimmed it up a couple of...

    Speaker pods/General stereo questions

    Ahhhhh....now I see the light! So running the 2 4inchers in the middle would allow me to split the channel R/L and allow me to wire them together!? Quick question- I looked for an adapter to fit 2 4" but could only find one to fit 2 3.5"? I think I could probably fab something up but for $5-10...
