    Fabricating new headliner backer

    Has anyone made up their own headliner backer panel? I like the look of the new abs plastic ones but I'm having trouble stomaching spending nearly $600 on trim. I figure I can mess around with making my own for quite a while before it costs more to just buy one. The truck's a '95 reg cab, if it...

    Custom fuel lines

Can I just apply 12v DC to the actuators, or does anyone know of a procedure to test them properly? Or, do I...

    My '95 RCLB C1500

    Rear shocks twisting frame?

    Hello all! I have a question about my stock suspension in my '95 c1500. I have replaced the entire suspension except for the rear springs, which I cleaned up and reinstalled. Other than the leafs, absolutely everything is new. I have the cab and box off the truck to replace everything...

    Proportioning valve leak

    So I've replaced all my brake lines with nickel-copper, and after bleeding the brakes I looked at the proportioning valve and noticed brake fluid. It's not coming from either of the lines to the master cylinder, but apparently from the center pin that you can see in the picture. I cleaned the...
