The first is my brackets I made to use the stock shocks since I lowered my truck 2" in the front. I had used some lowered shocks but they didn't ride like I wanted it to.Passenger sideimg]http://pic5.picturetrail.com/VOL83/522297/inbox/t-52363.jpg[/img]Drivers side

This is the washer jog I got off a small GM car, I think it was a cavlier.

and this is the sprayers for the wipers

It hooks to the switch just like the old pump. This is the late model air system all GM stuff no aftermarket, bought all of it out of a 80 model truck and everything fit right up, pluse changed over to 134-a. No POA valve to get clogged up and to me works a lot better. I went through 4 POA vavles before I decided to chang over.

These are the new head lights, and man are they nice at night

Sorry for such a long post but I thought pictures would be better than just trying to tell some one. If anybody has questions, E-Mail me

Andy,
Tell me more about what all you had to do to switch over to 134, I have 12 right now, and I been think about the 134, I am not going to do it any time soon, due to my 12 is working really good, but I know sooner or later, I am going to have a problem, and have to have it recharged, and when I do, I want to go back with 134, so what all do I have to do to go over to 134

Changing over to the 134-a wasn't that bad after getting with my air conditioning man. My compresor was gone anyway so all I did was buy the old compresor for 134-a and installed it. I changed the o-rings and followed all the directions with the compresor and took it back to my AC guy and recharged it. I also is hooked up to cycle on and off like the late models.

I really like that sprayer on the wiper arm!! Now, there should be a small hole in the wiper arm that a peg in the sprayer should fit into correct? What is keeping the the sprayer from moving around? I just got a washer tank with the pump built in from a 1986 k-10 that was in the bone yard. And I know how to wire it into the factory swich, I just want a better sprayer. Thanks for any info.

Andy4639 · 04-08-2002, 04:03 PM

The only thing holding it is the two little tabs of the wiper it self. I placed the hose between them and just put enough pressure to hold it in place. For the sprayer itself I put them in a pot of water and set them on top of K/heater out side one day until they got soft and placed on arm with vise grips to hold them in place til they cooled.
