Possibly... But it would cost me the Vette if I did it.
-
Maybe. I saw it the day it came in, and then one time after it was sold. It's a rare truck if it still exists. I used to have the VIN #.
-
I often wonder what happened to that truck.
-
Well, almost. The one I ordered was a 5spd. manual and had a tailgate. ...and was supposed to be black with a grey interior. But other than that, yeah.
-
Yeah, CL has been a mixed bag overall for me. I'm considering these trucks, but both are so far away...
-
Figures. As soon as I posted this, one of them finally got back to me.
-
Anyone else have trouble with people who place ads on CL not responding to e-mails and phone messages? I've found two great parts trucks for the Mothertruck project and got no response to my inquiries. Annoying.
-
I think I'm going to pick-up that factory stereo too.
-
Now that was a whole lot of ugly!
-
I'm thinking the Tahoe just graduated to Project Car status - so I guess this thread ought to move. Project Barndoor it is.
-
Here's the CL ad for the seats: http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/2023444155.html
-
That's what I was thinking, and yes, everything is the right color. I wasn't looking for seats just now, but I couldn't ignore that deal!
-
Ordered the parts today - should have them tomorrow. And get this... I scored two virgin factory seats and a decent console for $200! One of the seats is still in the GM plastic. A minor quibble is that my Tahoe has the 8-way driver's seat and the new one is just lumbar, but I should be able to add in the other feature. If not, so what?
-
Grrrr...
-
I hope it doesn't take me that long!
-
That's one way to look at it! My guess is that I'll complete both the wagon and the Mothertruck before I get to the Camino again. After all of that, the damn thing had better win something!
-
Not sure. All of the manifold bolts are now tight, but someone did a half-assed repair on the hose from the manifold to the core. It is supposed to be a screw-in fitting at the manifold, but someone cut the hose and forced it over a too large fitting and then clamped it. I tightened the clamp, but I think it may be leaking around the threads of the fitting. I'll price a new hose with the proper fitting from GM tomorrow. Right now, the temp is lukewarm.
-
Confirmed. Air is getting into the system, lodging in the core, and killing my heat.
-
Don't get me wrong - love the car. But I like it better in that electric blue Olds used that year.
-
Check engine light comes on....then goes off after a day

What I wouldn't give to have such straighforward problems for a change! Wait... I take that back. Tires are expensive. -
Back then it seemed like every other car GM built was that color (or very similar). Didn't like it then, don't like it now.
-
Phase one complete, partial theory verification. I dropped the core down to a flat position and ran an errand. It got so hot I had to wait before putting it back in position. Now, we'll see what tomorrow brings.
-
LOL Thanks, I'll report the conclusions.
-
Got to walk the dogs, then I'll put the theory to the test.
-
I have a thought about this. I think it is connected to the loose manifold bolts. The area of the manifold where the core draws water from is one of the spots I couldn't easily get to to tighten the bolts. Air could be getting in when the engine is shut down and cools. I'll burp the core and test the theory. If I'm right, it should work fine and then get cold after being shut down over night.
