Re: Restoring Rusty

Cool stuff, Hatzie. I bought the repair manual for my 64 off eBay. I just like this stuff.

The 50's and 60's manuals seem to be easier to find. If you're looking for a maddening exercise in futility try to find very late 80's and 90's GM automobile & truck radio schematics.

I can believe that. By the 90s, especially, I wouldn't think too many radios would be repaired. Not like the 50s / 60s.

Re: Restoring Rusty

My stock radio still worked and did so for many years. Then I retired it but left it in the stock location. I didn't want to cut up my dash so I bought one of those Highliners years ago and installed an aftermarket stereo. Best thing I did for that truck really. One of the few mods I ever did to my truck that made a real difference. That and the CB radio. Ten four.

Re: Restoring Rusty

free admission at the local junk yard and 15% off, if you guys have one of these Pick N Pulls in your area (and have a free Rewards membership) why not throw some tools in a bucket and head out there and see what they got, that's where I'll be

Re: Restoring Rusty

ok, so let me walk you through what we found at the Pick N Pull

fist we found a rear view mirror (cost $6 bucks), now I wasn't really looking for one of these, but it was just laying there on the floor of this '73 pick up truck already removed, so I grabbed it

I like to document where my spare bits came from

Re: Restoring Rusty

ok so lets take a look at the gauge lens situation before and after, now those of you with square bodies know that they lenses tend to yellow kinda like these plastic headlights do these days

Side Note: by the way the Greg played the game of trying to buff out discolored plastic headlights before on multiple occasions and he wasn't going to waste time and money on trying it on the this lens as its hours with the drill vs 41 years of mother nature, we don't stand a chance fellers

Re: Restoring Rusty

so lets compare the old to the new lens, by the way a brand new replacement lens from LMC truck will run you about $50 bucks

Re: Restoring Rusty

and here's what the new(er) lens looks like on the truck

it's not perfect, but it's an improvement, when I have the moneys I may replace it for a new one, or go with different gauges all together, stay tuned

Now I can clearly tell that my Ammeter and Fuel Gauge don't work!!! hee hee

Re: Restoring Rusty - Speakers

as my friend used to say, even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes, well in this case the squirrel being me, and the nut being two nuts, or two speakers

I was looking for radios all day when low and behold I look inside of this green (pronounced "gorgeous") '86 and atop of it's dash are two of these speakers, properly removed, in excellent condition, just sitting there starring at me saying well pick us up man and put us in that there bucket

... and so I did...

Re: Restoring Rusty

now I am going to have to do some homework to figure out where one can install two such fine speakers in the cab of said truck, maybe one of youz can learn me, cause mine only had one speaker atop of the dash, do they go inside some fancy bulging door panels or do they live behind the bench seat in there them corners

here are the two purdy new ones and my old one

Re: Restoring Rusty

What is a fair price to pay for a GM radio (AM/FM) from a 74 truck ? I know where one is in a yard but its a ways off (60 miles each way) and I have no way of knowing if it works .They were high on everything else so I didnt ask but I would like to have it if I get back that way.
