Does anyone know who makes the tail lights with an integrated reverse light? And how it’s wired/switched on?
I’m looking for those, or some kind of 1.25” round light that will fit in the hole where the antenna mount normally is.
I have been told the OEM system is super expensive.
vintage air sells AC kits that can be retro fitted. I priced it once at 2000-2500 for a whole truck setup.
if you already have AC maybe insulating the truck would be the way to go.
Ok so I took it off like you suggested. Just so I am clear….
the top row of studs in 24v and the much smaller green bar below is the 24v ground?
the two posts on the left, where my hand is holding the wire, that is the 12v stuff? I don’t see a separate 12v grounding strip for that. And then...
A lot of the bolts on my truck are rusted. I was going to replace them before painting with either Hot dipped galvanized or the shiny zinc.
I know painting over galvanized is tricky, but what’s the best primer or pre-treatment??
some humvee frames Are galvanized so the military must have a...
So I can’t find a place to sand my truck. We just moved so I have no real friends or know anyplace that would work.
truly how dangerous is the dust days and weeks after sanding? My kids rarely play in the front yard, so I could do it there. On a windy day maybe it largely blows away...
Is this the 12 v box you all are referring to? It looks like there’s (3) 25 amp fuses and (1) 15 amp fuse. It looks like there’s 3studs for 3 25 amp circuits. I’m not sure what that re-set button is or those other studs on the side. Everything in the box is coded red for hot and I’m not seeing a...
If anyone happens to win that truck, I’d buy the tire carrier from you. I was planning on building one like it some day and it would safe me the trouble.
Mogman did a cool write up.

The 6l90 is stouter as I understand it, but the output shaft won’t mate with the stock transfer case, whereas the 6l80 does.
What dimensions are you looking for? Also please share the link to the aftermarket bases.
At the mounting holes, the base is 7.75” high at the back and 9.75” high at the front.
The mounting holes to the floor are 13 7/8” on center wide (they are slotted) and 9 5/8” front to back.
they are...
And here is the issues I have with the rear doors…. The top is a 1/2” wider than the C pillar, so the “jamb” on the top is 1/4” wider than the “jamb” of the c Pillar. It would be impossible for the doors to shut tightly against the C pillar as they bottom out along the roof first.
Here’s some more shots of where water comes in. Some is minor wetting I won’t worry about, others it’s a flood. lots of the problems are around the doors- is it a fools errand to get the doors to seal nice and tight?
I’m probably going to have the top modified and welded so that the giant...
Those go to the top of the shoulder - no head rest.
I'm going to be listing my OEM high back seats from the 1165 in the classifieds if anyone is interested.
EDIT: never mind, i guess only premium subscribers can post ads. Sorry if I violated a rule by leaving this up
Yes mine is the plug.
Are you having the whole back wall sprayed down into the bed too? That’s what I’m thinking of doing, but some of the gaps between metal, with rubber or foam seals, are quite wide. I wasn’t sure if the bedliner material would span that without cracking
