trying to get new interior and not sure if it had black or charcoal velour originally. looking for RPO codes for either black or charcoal , door panels, velour seat, velour inserts in the all electric door panels as well as the ceiling. I have found a partial RPO codes but not one that breaks down the interior options.
Thanks in advance.

That's the beauty of repair panels is they give you pieces.

To fix my truck, I had to cut out the bad metal and weld in patch panels.

sorry correction I meant hood hinge seal

How did you fix that? Do you remove the cowl vent and add a bunch of sealant? Thanks.

Yup, different times, but also extra possibilities, like a new block, not an over-bored veteran that needs a lot of machine work to make true.

General Discussion / Re: Windshield wiper hose

« Last post by ehjorten on Today at 08:44:50 AM »

The later design windshield washer plumbing has a hose nipple immediately adjacent to each wiper arm axle that protrudes ~1" from the cowl.  The nozzles are built into the business end of the wiper arms near the wiper blade attachment pins.  The hose "clip" was more like a 4" long conduit that snapped onto the arm from below.  You may be able to fabricate a makeshift replacement from some UV stabilized black plastic tubing.

Not only that, but the cowl panel had larger openings around the wiper posts to accommodate the washer hose routing.

Strange, Was looking at was the list price of my 81 K10 when new, it was $7,920.00. The engine I am building for it cost more than what the list price was for my truck when new.

I just check online at the local parts store. They sell the wiper arm with all intact (wiper arm, nozzle, hose, and spray tip) for less than $30.

If the local parts stores have it, perhaps the forum's store will also have it.
