    1008 door glass

    73-80 models had the thicker glass. 81-87 models had thinner glass. I've measured several different windows from several model years and what I needed was the 73-80. If you install new felt for a 81-87 into a door from the years 73-80 your window will be super hard to roll up and down. That's...

    Hello. Somewhere around 1980 GM changed the thickness of the door glass in their pickups. I'm trying to order new window felt from LMC and need the felt for the "thicker" glass.

    shackle hitting frame

    I got the HD shackles and greasable bushings from ORD. The upper bushings are simple to put in. Just take out the bolt and dig out the old bushing. Do one side at a time. I used a highlift jack under the front bumper and had no problems.

    very slight rough idle

    Mine also has a rough idle. It's almost like a dead miss. But as soon as it's above idle it smooths out and runs great. I'd sure like to know what the problem is.
