Custom fabric inlays on dash side panels- how to attach fabric?
I’m considering using a vinyl wrap on those three trim pieces. I would like to have scenery type vinyl which I haven’t found yet. I might have to have it custom made. -
Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
Just buy one that is close, tape some pics on the inside of your family’s old square and then build some more memories, I’m sure your family would be honored with that plan. After a few years of driving old metal, you will wonder why you were so driven to do what you did and realize it was...- mxer147

What have you done to your square lately??
Thanks, actually looks much better than the pictures. A little bit of paint spilled over the edge which I used a razor blade to easily remove. -

What have you done to your square lately??
Color changed the emblem, gonna add some orange as well when I get to painting the rest of the fenders and tailgates. I used a disposable plastic eye dropper to move the left over paint from my spray gun disposable cup. -

Still a twenty footer, two tone paint is a lot of extra effort! -

Mounted the fenders to draw the two tone and textured lines. Will block sand in preparation for painting after I tape, paper and spray bed liner. Supposed to be warm enough Friday and Saturday before it snows again next week. Added the emblem for the photo. -

Warmed up enough to shoot some primers. -
Installing tailgate band
I just drilled one last weekend, use a yard stick to pencil draw your straight lines on your tailgate. Drill the first small hole on the far right side, put the trim piece on to confirm location. If it’s lined up, drill larger holes until the final right size. Then measure the center to center...- mxer147

LMC Dash Pad Supplier
A couple weeks ago I purchased a dash from Jegs since it was discounted $145, ordered dark brown and they delivered black, sent it back and they resent dark brown. The black one arrived in a sealed bag, the brown one did not and it had grinding dust so it appeared used. I called to ask why and... -

What have you done to your square lately??
Sanded on the fenders, rocker panels, and tailgate; might be warm enough to primer next two days. I also drilled the new hole for the old school emblem. I despise sanding too; these old trucks have a lot of surface area. -
Please help me solve this riddle
Did a compression check today, cylinders 1, 3, 5 were consistently at 125 psi, cylinders 2, 4, 6 were consistently 145 psi. Is it possible that head gasket 1, 3, 5 is slightly damaged causing lower compression readings?- mxer147

Huck's daily - 2005 Z71 crewcab
I replaced the stock stereo with a Kenwood Excelon DPX795BH from crutchfield, along with some JBL speakers because Bose were toast. It was mostly a plug and play install purchasing the wire kits. The center sub was good so left it but I had to find compatible components which the Kenwood and...- mxer147

Entering a show on Saturday.
Please share a picture? I’m working on a 1983 K20 custom deluxe and questioning if I want to install the uncomfortable bench seat. -
Entering a show on Saturday.
Agree, very good looking ride! Does the interior look as good as the exterior? Enter as a truck probably less competition and better chance to win. Mingle and take lots of pictures. -
need some help with door rod clip
How about some pics so we have a better understanding of your issue? -
This one needs to go, asking for opinions. Offering it up here first.
@ Big Ray would look super cool sporting that around town! Or, he could use it for parts. One can’t buy much for $5k these days. The bigger question is if you stuck the money in it that it needs plus the purchase price, will you get your money back if you decide to sell it. Basket cases are... -
FRONT FENDER COWL CAGE NUT Gone
I welded the cage nut to a washer. I then drilled four new holes around the sheet metal where the cage nut belongs. I then put the washered cage nut where it belongs and held it tight with a bolt threaded into the nut. I then welded the four drilled holes since the washer lined up with them. I...- mxer147

What have you done to your square lately??
I hung the passenger door, welded some on the inner fender lower support and put the rear wheels back on so I could move it back four feet. It’s nice to have the doors back on since they were leaning against my super tenere for the past year. Perhaps I will get a nice afternoon for a ride. I’m...
