Thoughts about Rocker panel replacements

December 09, 2024, 10:47:19 PM by ramiroelliot | Views: 197 | Comments: 2

I'm wondering if anyone has the same issue or has replaced theirs or had them done professionally, what am i looking at Price wise is it worth it.. i was going to sand them down and re paint them i know it won't solve the issue due to it most likely rotting from the inside out the bed is starting to bubble above the wheel wells but im not too worried about that since i can replace the whole bed in one piece. I really hope someone has maybe a video of them replacing theirs or pictures they could post or some insight ANYTHING REALLY, i can't find anything online only on the older models... i bought her for 7,500 bucks a year ago and she's been pretty good to me & well it's completely paid off.

Just joined....hello

December 09, 2024, 10:13:01 AM by kgerrish1215@gmail.com | Views: 323 | Comments: 5

Just joined after recently acquiring my first squarebody - 1985 K20, manual trans). I was told it was a fire station truck in South Carolina. I have wanted a squarebody for many years after riding in my uncle's truck in 1986.

Truck is in good shape in terms of rust...body has one spot - cab corner - about the size of two quarters. Frame has virtually no rust. The body however has hail damage so thinking I will try my hand at body work. Additionally, the roof has a spot in the front corner that looks like a meteorite hit it. That will be a challenge. Engine is out of a 72-73-74 A or F body per the codes.

Fuel delivery was an issue so my first step was to diagnose and by doing that I replaced the tank, sending unit, soft hoses and fuel pump. Runs ok now. I had taken the bed off to make access easier so I took advantage of that and sandblasted (actually pressure washer sandblasted with the cheap Amazon nozzle - worked well) and POR15'd both the frame and the entire underside of the bed.

Now will start on the interior and work my way to the engine at some point.

Happy to be here.

windshield washers

1985 C10 350
Was the windshield washer an option or standard equip. in 1985? My multifunction stalk has the thumb switch with the washer icon on it. No pink and white wires at the harness that runs down the drivers side fender well where the reservoir mounts.

Though other places I'm at I have shared this. Honestly, had the site not been coming up ISE 500 for me for a while this site was going to be the 1st site to see this video. This is the 1st 73-87 and only site i really put time in. I practically lurk at every other board and never post but this was really for yall 1st, so i apologize for not having it up here.

Anyway.... i am beginning to recondition our paint booth, cleaning the windows, pits, walls. Familiarizing myself with stuff and getting ideas for the angles ima shoot the process from. done a lot of work on the windows though so we'll be able to have a clean shot in of frame work, and paint.
