    Has anyone ever seen this style of roof console?

    Someone (maybe you) recently posted this in the Facebook group but with wood. That’s a really neat upper console. I really like the CB radio too. I wish I could find one lol.

    Sound Deadening - Cost/Thickness/Density Comparison

    Hey Folks, I was tinkering around the other day trying to compare sound deadening. Mostly I was looking for best bang for buck and using density as the driving factor with price point coming in second. I was messing around and put it into excel and figured it was at least neat to share...

    Old post I know, but how was it really hard to get the headliner back in with both of those layers on the roof?

    Thank you. Mine definitely don’t do that. By webbing do you mean the straps themselves?

    Question: Rear Seat AC vent conversion

    I didn't realize it but I guess 97+ has this on Crew cabs and I think extended cabs. I found some old threads where this was discussed a little. Most people complained about how the floor vents didn't really put out any useable air for hot weather environments like us. Probably not worth...

    Question: Rear Seat AC vent conversion

    Hey folks, Does anyone know if there’s any issues with converting an extended cab to use a rear seat blower ? Today I picked up an AC box from a suburban and ended up taking the conduit that runs under the carpet to blow at the feat of the rear seat. I’m assuming it would be easy to convert...

    14 Bolt FF Brake Shoe Width with 13" Drums - Updated with Answer

    Yes sir, 14 bolt full floating rearends could have different type brakes depending on the drum. Some came with 13" drums while some came with ~11" Drums. With the 13" Drums, some came with the 2.5" Wide shoes and some came with 3.5" shoes. Most single wheel (non-dually), 13" drums will...

    14 Bolt FF Brake Shoe Width with 13" Drums - Updated with Answer

    Sorry but I don't have a vin number on the truck it came off of, it was a lone rearend from the scrapyard with a reference to a 95 Diesel Van. I actually was able to piece some information together from a contact and another thread on here about backing plates. The backing plate for a...

    14 Bolt FF Brake Shoe Width with 13" Drums - Updated with Answer

    Good morning gents, I had recently bought a 14 bolt FF rearend with 13" Drums for a 95 Diesel Van from a scrap yard. I'm trying to buy parts before I break open the hubs to replace the seals, bearings and brake shoes. Looking online, it appears there are 2.5" Width shoes and 3.5" width...

    14 Bolt Full Float Drum Brakes

    This is a really good thread. We should get the section out where he went step by step and sticky it. I'm sure plenty may know how to do this but there's plenty more that could use the run down.

    Safety - Seat Belt Function

    Does anyone else have issues with seat belts functioning as intended? The seatbelts in my truck (95, c2500 extended cab) have always seemed like they may not lock if actually in a wreck. I am specifically worried more about the rear ones where my kids sit. I've tried hitting the brakes...

    Headliner, overhead console and new sunvisors

    Looks great! Maybe I might have missed it, but how did you attach the new clothe? For the center console, was there a thread you used to determine how to fasten it? Thanks!

    Was driving and suddenly the AC quit blowing and I then I smelled a burnt electrical smell

    If anyone runs across the in the future, it was probably a two wire connector (red and black) behind the glove box that uses 12 gauge wire. It runs right next to the cross tube frame thing. Mine did the same thing and after help on this forum, I was able to find it. Mine basically lost its...

    88-94 Metal dashboard being made, come give opinions

    I’d be interested in some sort of dash thst allows easy access the AC box. I’m not sure if I could personally swing 1400 myself but I’m sure it’s all the work that it takes to make. it’s pretty cool looking.

    Blowing Blower High Relay

    So that connector isn’t directly upstream of the blower but I’m sure it’s related. Haha found same thing as you. I wonder how many connectors throughout the truck look like this.
