    ABS Module Bleed procedure not bleeding all circuits?

    The laptop+Tech 2 is a thing? I've got a Toughbook that is dedicated to tuning and other garage stuff. I'd love to stick Tech 2 capability on it.

    Valance Mounted Fog Lights

    I've got a set of the TYC fogs and they are just as uninspiring as the OE fogs.

    How would a 24V or 12V Cummins swap go for a 1989 Chevy 2500.

    Is Auto World still around? Looks like their old site is gone.

    Dually Hauler from Dallas

    I've punted on restoring the original seats and using the early NBS center console. I bought an absolutely filthy set of 2017 cloth seats and the jump seat center console with two storage cubbys. I bought a set of OBS Outpost adapter seat brackets to work with my extended cab and the 2014-18...

    WTB: Horizontal Fog Switch

    Yep, I know that. And I've got a fog light in the three-hole vertical switch panel along with two other switches. What I am looking for is the fog switch that goes in the horizontal switch panel where the 4x4 buttons go.

    Rubber bed mat

    I recently put a Dee Zee in my dually. Best mat I could find, and I'm happy with it.

    Valance Mounted Fog Lights

    Nice find, but those are not the valance mounted fog lights. Those are the in-bumper fog lights.

    Replacement Exterior Lighting Assemblies, TYC vs DEPO

    Whichever way you go, I'd prep and coat them before installation. They will look better for much longer with a little care. Rough up the surface with some 400 then 800-1000 grit to give it a tooth. It will look evenly frosted when ready. Then paint it with a clearcloat. I've used both epoxy...

    Are there any old style mirrors with power control?

    I'd think that if you were going to adapt a non-original mirror, the late GM squarebody or van mirrors might be a good starting point. https://www.ebay.com/itm/144477999426

    Ford Model T - Overlander

    Yep, I've got photos of depot hacks, station wagons, farm trucks, delivery vans, express delivery trucks, and vintage campers. I've taken inspiration from many of them, and you'll see features on these that I brought into my design. Here's a farm truck I like. A great express delivery. An...

    Ford Model T - Overlander

    The "canvas work" is a set of side curtains and some additional panels that turn the entire thing into a tent. Something like this: I'm also making bags for the tent poles, the gate legs, the jack tools, and some other tools. And I'm also making a vintage looking canvas cover for a modern...

    Ford Model T - Overlander

    I had bought a bunch of crappy 1925-26 front fenders to make some rear fenders from. We cut two left and two right fenders up to salvage the front curve and fender brace. What's left of a cut front fender. By retaining the fender brace and bending it over it became a mount. After some...

    Ford Model T - Overlander

    After driving it for a bit, we found the edge of the rubber mats needed to be secured. I picked up a pair of 1919 thresholds and we added them to the truck. I didn't like how we had configured the shifters. The Warford was in the primary spot, but it was used like a transfer case. And the...

    Ford Model T - Overlander

    Then the -final- layer, a piece of heavy #6 21oz canvas duck. This was wet down to smooth it out and we used a jig to get the staples the right depth from the roof. We scabbed together this little sample of the roof materials as a show-and-tell for the Model-T club. Next we masked off...

    Ford Model T - Overlander

    Since we wanted to sleep in the bed of this truck, we had to have supports for the side gates to keep them flat. We added clevis eyes to the side gates and made up adjustable height legs that were attached to the gates with loose clevis pins. And, it was time for more paint. We painted the...

    Ford Model T - Overlander

    Next we laid out some slats to see how they rested on the roof frame and what sort of angle we would need to put on the edge of the frame. And we built up an overhang on the rear of the roof. We rough cut the rear overhang and then fine tuned the curve with the sculpting tool, aka the belt...

    Ford Model T - Overlander

    Mocked up the side pieces of the roof frame. And mocked up the wood spacers that would be applied to the uprights. These were done because we needed a filler piece here for canvas sides, they will have a step in the top to help support the roof frame, and the step can be a shim that helps...

    Ford Model T - Overlander

    Back to the build up of the T! We hit another milestone last month, so I'll update the thread to there. After a few more test drives we found that the valve cover (aka side plate) was still leaking. Because of it's proximity to the manifold and that it has to slip behind the alternator, I...

    WTB: Green Driver's Door near DFW

    So, I thought "Dummy, that's obvious. Why haven't you done exactly that?" So, I did that. And the Car-Part database is so outdated that every green truck within 300 miles of me is no longer at the junkyard that posted it. I even called the ones with no photos, but noted they were green. I'm...

    Yeah, I had the battery unconnected to upgrade the battery cables! Otherwise it would have likely been gone.

    WTB: Green Driver's Door near DFW

    Looking for a rust-free Emerald Green Metallic driver's door. Failing a green door, I'm willing to buy a black door, which is easier to paint over than a white door. Hopefully near Dallas, Texas. I came out the other day to find some lowlife tried to make off with my truck. In case I don't...
