General Discussion / Re: 78 C20 Hella Conversion lenses With Philips LED upgrade

I may not come on here too much anymore but I'll slways be a site supporter.   This website helped me through my build in so many ways I'll always be grateful.   Even if I don;t post so much I'll still support this site Chris has made and keeps maintaining for us.

I should have some truck stuff coming up when I get to it.   My AC doesnt work because the AC fuse melted the fuse panel.  While I fix that I have to put in all new dash vents and a new AC switch control panel.   I also have to put in a new dual tank switch under the truck.   I have a full tank of gas right now i can;t use...lol   When I get to them I will be posting stuff up about it.

These days my main toy I been working on is my 97 Z28 Daily Driver.

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.

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.
