Nice find man! It is amazing how many people don't show up. I also got my 89 K1500 for $800. Good luck with it! I hope to see updates.

Getting on the passenger side of the truck when I locked it was getting old. So, I decided to tackle fixing the door lock on the driver side. I ended up reconnecting the lock cylinder and replacing the lock actuator. Somehow, the rod connected to the cylinder became unattached. But, everything...

I swapped in a "better" cluster and the speed was wrong. I just learned that it is possible to replace 7 green fuses in the instrument cluster's circuit board with DIP switches. This allows the speedometer to be calibrated to your rear end and tire size. This is old news to some, but it was new...

My old rusted fuel tank was leaking, So I decided to replace it along with a pump and hangar assembly. I drove around on Empty for weeks. If there was only a few gallons in the tank, it didn't leak. If feels good to not have to worry about and not park in the back lot at work. And, I documented...

The cluster I ended up installing had some bulbs that were bad. So I decided to replace the bulbs with LED bulbs. I'm happy with the result.A video of the process

I know right. I want to enjoy a few tanks of gas at least. I keep a mileage log of all my cars and a few times it has warned me of issues early. I have had this truck over a year and have been estimating mpg based on old EPA numbers.

Mine had a mind of their own two. It was crazy. This is a good way to have the ability to use the new boards.

Thanks man. I don't know about the wheels/hubs. I'm sure it's the original setup though. I guess I have a some research to do. I bet I could find the answer on this forum.

I'm also thinking about taking off the rubber bumpers on front of the bumper. I think the truck will look a lot cleaner that way.

I finally got the new speedometer gear in. And now, the trip meter isn't working. It's better than before and I can finally get an idea on gas mileage. I'm not going to go back into it until I get some new panels. My current ones are so old and brittle I get nervous every time I work on it.
