It was a productive past few days. I finished up the chassis paint and then dropped the fuel tank and replaced that along with a new sender. The old one would’ve made it but figured while everything was apart I might as well change it. At some point someone must’ve spilled a lot of oil in the...

I was able to get the interior pretty much finished up and put back together. Also pulled the bed off today so I can start with some frame/axle painting tomorrow. One of the carriage bolts holding the bed to the frame stripped which I had to then cut out so I’ll have to figure out something...

I will answer to the best of my ability: 1- correct 2- correct 3-I changed my front side market lights to LEDs with the T10s. I don’t have any issues with them flashing, maybe the draw is enough from the other blinking lights that the flasher doesn’t notice. The 168s have the same socket but...

I believe the only ones that you can't change to LEDs are the GEN 1/2 dash lights. And maybe some of the exterior turn signal lights as it will screw with the original flasher so if you switch those you might have to change the flasher too. So far on my truck I've switched the following to...

Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that make a difference. Had a rookie mistake and got brake cleaner over the gauge cluster lens while it was on the work bench which did some damage. Granted it wasn’t in the clearest condition beforehand anyways. But with a new lens and some gauge...

Oh and I almost forgot, I also installed a fancy new touchscreen radio and a couple speakers. Bought the civy behind the seat brackets and some 4x10”s speakers and with a little modification fit pretty nicely. Eventually I might add some door speakers but for now the behind the seat ones seem good.

It’s been a little while since I posted but have slowly chipped away at the interior. I originally ordered sound dampening/matting from LMC but I wasn’t impressed so I ordered Kilmat instead. I’m still going to use the LMC heat insulation but it seems odd that there’s a spot of padding missing...

They surprisingly seem to dim with the switch. I’m not sure if the original headlight indicator bulb was the issue or just the fact I had the dimmer on very low and didn’t realize it 😂

I pulled out the cluster tonight and swapped some bulbs with LEDs. I need to order a few more bulbs as I didn’t buy enough but the high beam indicator works good now!

That’s great info, thanks! Definitely will help save me some time with the troubleshooting. I’ll take a look tonight and see what’s going on.

Hmm, could be, I’ll have to check the bulb sockets and see what’s going on. I already planned on changing out a lot of the dash lights since they’re either out or extremely dim

My replacement light showed up today. In the mean time I got the grounds and plugs cleaned up. I’m sure it could’ve been worse but they looked a little crusty. But I had an interesting discovery, once I cleaned up everything my original non led light worked on both high and low beam, while...

I got them from Amazon so thankfully I was able to return it and get a new one sent pretty easily.

I bought the set of all 4 on eBay. Looks like they’re still for sale too, not sure if they’re repro’s or what but they seem decent. Search CUCV blackout lights. $32 plus shipping

Thanks! Currently no good pics since only one light is in and working but the replacement should be here Monday or Tuesday so I’ll post some then. But they do already seem alot brighter that the originals

Nice that’s a great find! Maybe one day if I’m still looking for parts I’ll have to take a road trip

Looks great! Getting things really cleaned up. Where did you end up getting the liners from? I got a drivers side from LMC but they’ve been out of stock on the passenger for a while it seems.

Makes sense, I’ll clean up that ground to make sure it’s good. I definitely don’t want to blow another $160 light

My new LED headlights came in today so I figured I’d install them to see how they are. I went with the Phillips H6054s. Well I got them hooked up and all was well for a minute until I switched back and forth from high to low beams a couple times. That’s when the drivers side went out. I...

I ordered a new matching set with the cylinder and door lock set from GMCPauls. As of a couple months ago it came to $45 with shipping and came with everything you need.
