Last night I got the chassis back down on all fours again. I reinstalled all crossmembers and brackets that had been preciously riveted with grade 8 7/16-14 bolts and distorted thread locknuts plus red Loctite. I had a heck of a time getting the torsion bar crossmember reinstalled on...

LMC does make a repro dash for that generation now. While not cheap, I've heard good reviews of them so far, and it will be less hassle than a full swap and the cost probably isn't that much different than getting everything needed to complete a swap...

Yeah, you can't really do just the dash harness, you have to do the underhood stuff as well because they changed how the harness routes between the 2 generations. The dash would be easy to clean once it's removed, but not sure you could clean the rest of it well enough to get the smell out.

I've had both now. At first I didn't like the 88-94, but it has sort of grown on me. I still prefer the 95-98 design - I like the HVAC controls better and the radio location (if an aftermarket unit is installed in an 88-94) is better. I also think the plastic assembly of the 95-98 is more...

Yesterday I made good use of working from home and got the axle painted - 1 coat of Rust Seal before work, 1 coat of Rust Seal during lunch and then 1 coat of KBS Maxx after work.

Got another one. This ones good until you're running around the yard barefoot with sparklers in each hand. 303423535253246176

G80 is removed and Yukon limited slip is in its place. All new carrier and pinion bearings plus pinion seal of course. Backlash set at .006 with the original 3.73 gears. I’ll do the wheel bearings and seals after paint.

I was looking through past posts in this thread to see if I had replaced the rear wheel bearings already or not (I had not). I noticed this from way back in page 2. Part of me wants to laugh because I knew 5 years ago that I’d be doing what I’m doing today, but part of me is also proud to be...

Yesterday I got everything except the rear axle painted. Today I’ll be swapping bearings and the diff in the axle before getting it ready for paint.

Looks great! What wood is that, maple?

Nice bowling alley 😅

Got another one. Expires 6/27/25. 302770688253246176

Wow, I haven't seen your name on here in a while, though I probably just missed you since I don't "hang out" in the other areas as much as I used to. I would like to fully box the frame, but that would require me re-engineering all of the crossmembers as well, and that isn't something I'm...

The driver quarter panel is getting some rust coming through from the inside (the Rust Belt strikes again!!) so I get to do some rust repair on this vehicle sooner rather than later. I looked into buying a whole quarter panel from GM for $800+ and having that replaced professionally, but decided...

I had last week off, so my plan was to sandblast the frame, then paint the frame and hopefully start reassembly. I didn’t expect to have to spend 30 hours just sandblasting, so that’s pretty much all I got done. It was a lot of pieces though, so I guess it makes sense. I spent about 20 hours...

Highest bidder so far!

I think it was taken care of pretty well. I had to replace a floor pan and a cab corner, and one of the fenders is a bit rusty, but overall it’s pretty solid. It has a dealership tag on the tailgate from a local dealership, so I’m pretty sure it’s been around here its whole life.

I know at least one of you had a side wager going that this would eventually happen. Go collect your winnings, smarty.

Well that sucks to hear. I guess I’ll have to save up for Kryptonite stuff for when the time comes to replace them.
