Re: Project: Clean the Green Jimmy
man i love it! i guess because it looks like mine only cleaner. is that the original color green. my glove box says seamist green and i wasnt sure if it was the actual color. have you found any touch up paint or spray in the exact color? i lowered mine 5 inches in the front and 4 inches in the back....zero money....oh, i see you put a newer dash on for a minute to try it. did everything line up? just wondering since i have to buy a dash piece that goes around the air vents and i may run into a newer dash

Re: Project: Clean the Green Jimmy

It works on grease and coffee Then some gain I use the 89 sub dash in my 78,I use the 78 bezel no fit issues But newer bezel and old pad leaves a bit of a gap Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project: Clean the Green Jimmy
it may not be the sending uni, but rather the hoses going to it. They are probably the same age as the truck.
