Re: 85 GMC Sierra "Scarlett"

Last night I had dinner with my daughter and son-in-law. We didn't get home till late but I still wanted to do something in the shop. I decided to remove the drivers side mirror in anticipation of the new one that has now been shipped.

This mirror had one of the threaded inserts missing, and the inner brace was gone too. Consequently the mirror was held on with mismatched bolts and nuts. Guess where the nuts went when I removed the bolts? Yep, they fell inside the door. Hmm, now what?

I had planned to completely restore the interior after the C10sinthepark run, but it looks like a partial job will ensue. As expected the door panels were held on with a huge assortment of styles and lengths of screws. Those will be replaced and the panels will be stripped to the base.

This was not where I was headed, but here I am.
