    My 92 headliner is molded fiberglass, this will work on that type (not sure if the OP mentioned his was cardboard or FG).

    gen 1 R-12 vs R134a

    I am seeing some two stage jobs on ebay for around 100$, not in a huge hurry so will keep shopping. think HF wanted 150$ for the same thing so that is not too far away from ebay.

    gen 1 R-12 vs R134a

    got a switch and harness from the yard, had to use some contract cleaner to get it working, more green goo, finally started and seems to be working as it should again. will have to postpone any major work until I get a handle on it.

    gen 1 R-12 vs R134a

    well new problem, short very intermittant cycling, then some slipping of the clutch, Hooked up the meters and it was short cycling when the pressures looked normal. I check the low pressure switch with a ohm meter and it was acting odd, on resistance showing 10-20 ohms at times, 0 at others when...

    seat swap pass to driver

    well I got the bottom done, and I think that was the harder part due to all the wires that had to be routed to the controls on the side of the seat. So next up will be to strip the cover off the passenger side and put on the driver side. I have to look over the foam parts and decide if its even...

    seat swap pass to driver

    thanks, I just hope I can get it back together. By getting both pass and driver donors though at least if it turns into a massive CF I have lost nothing but the $ used to buy the donors. I was really nervous about pulling my existing seat and then just "hoping" it would work after I stripped of...

    Factory Radio Amplifier

    have fun! make sure they have a return policy, if possible try it on the lot (I did that with the amp unit to make sure, same with the head unit. Best bet would be to have the truck ready to plug them in and see what happens. Oh and watch out for the yellow jackets, I got stung last time, I was...

    Factory Radio Amplifier

    you're welcome. if you go the yard route, see if you can find a premium sound package get both the amp and the head (or at least note where they are if you get just one) I am not 100% sure all amp units with with all head units (even though all the plugs work). I pulled one amp unit and it...

    Factory Radio Amplifier

    I went thru this a while ago with a dead radio. went to the yard go a replacement, dead, tried again, good so far. went got another have not tried but plan to. $15 was worth it (plus they gave me 30 days to bring it back, not many yards will do that with electronic stuff). The main reason was I...

    hog ring recommendation

    I am in the process of making up a new driver side for my 92 leather xlt. I have a good donor pass seat and a donor driver side. I do not own a hog ring plier and hope some one can recommend a decent one, there are tons on ebay and I just want a set up for auto upholstry work.

    I will make up a video later and post, I tried to attach images, but think they were either too large OR I had used up all my space.

    nice scores from the junk yard today

    I got a mint tan leather center arm rest, I saw a 93 EB, when I saw the seat and arm rest covers I knew I may have found something good. Already replaced the arm rest, wow it looks so much better. I got the passenger side seat as well, it also had a seat cover and looked great. the plan...

    Missing Hose?

    I see what Jason sees now, the two hose clamps just connect the two hoses that were orig connected to the heater control valve. I assume the heat does not work. could have had a leaky heat core, broken valve or as stated just bypass as not needed and help AC in hot climates. Tampa, prob...

    Missing Hose?

    hmm it kinda looks like a missing heater hose to the heater control valve. of course if that was the case I would think you would have water leaking all over the place. if that was it, I think it would be the one that goes to the water pump. I think I can make out the a radiator flush...
