    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...

    WTB: DRL OFF switch

    Swinging for the fences here, but I want to use a DRL OFF switch in my truck to control the spotlights. I know they are rare. I know they are hard to find. I expect to pay for that. Get it out of your museum of parts and onto a truck!

    WTB: Late Gray Dashboard

    Just like the title says. I'm looking for a good condition gray dashboard for my 1998. Mine is cracked, collapsed, and is missing chunks under that cover. If I can find a good one, I'll reinforce it before installing. Let me know what you've got. I know how hard they are to find and am willing...

    WTB: Horizontal Fog Switch

    Looking for a horizontal fog switch and bezel. I'm using the three vertical switch positions for my cargo lights, driving lights and a security switch. And I'll be adding fog lights, and the horizontal fog is the best solution.

    Valance Mounted Fog Lights

    I've got questions about valance fog lights. Are the LMC brackets decent? Or should I hold out for a decent original set? https://www.lmctruck.com/1988-98-chevy-gmc/cd-1989-97-fog-light-chevy It looks like some of the Olds Bravada fog light parts will interchange. And with a couple holes, the...

    Ford Model T - Overlander

    Is that weird? A Model T built for camping, off road trails and dirt roads? Longish story, I've been doing long dirt road trips for ages, and the occasional hard trail. I've pestered my pal to go with me on these trips for 30-ish years. But, he's got two careers, a wife and a couple of kids and...

    Range Rover Classic - Two Door Diesel

    My other project is a 2-door Range Rover with a diesel engine and 5-speed transmission. I bought this spec because it didn't have all the issues that the fancy US spec version has. And because it would be easier to LS swap after the diesel dies (which is has). US spec has leather that shreds...

    Slick Finish on Leather Seat Covers

    I've recovered a few GMT800 seats, and have received leather samples from a couple of suppliers, and all of the leathers have a tooth to them that makes them grab too much and they have a satin look instead of the somewhat shiny look of the originals. I want leather that is fairly slick and easy...

    Dually Hauler from Dallas

    I missed having a real truck. I've had a number of full sized GMs, and eventually started doing more offroad stuff that was easier in a smaller truck. I switched to a TJ Rubicon, and then when I needed something more reliable and had some truck capability, a new Toyota Tacoma 4x4. But, it has...
