    Dash Information Center and Map Light Bracket

    I had my bezel out to work on the map light. Looked at all the options and decided that the simplest easy repair involved some mending plates from Lowes and speed nuts. Easy fab and now the thing is back where it belongs. It's not sexy at all but you get the gist. If I had done two bends, one at...

    know where I can find rubber / plastic plugs for the inside of the rocker panel area?

    The plugs for 1st Gen. Trucks can be bought from Amazon and any Mopar/ Jeep dealer. PN 55257380AD Retail at the dealer is considerably higher but pay attention as they are $3.99 on Amazon and I’ve seen them as high as $17!

    Recalled CP4 Fuel Pump Went out before I could get the replacement

    Ford still using the CP4 although claimed to have made some internal changes. GM went Japanese.

    Window Sweeps

    This is why they don't catch and I've manipulated this one with a pair of HD wire cutters to have some bite!

    Window Sweeps

    Purchased new sweeps from a vendor. They were a bit too long but the real issue is that the clips are NOT made like the originals which have teeth on the center leg that grabs the metal where these things are inserted. If you've removed original ones you know they do not give up easily. Vendor...

    Tailgate latching mechanism rods

    Found an NOS part and will use it to make others. It's 3/16's inch with a 90º bend on each end. Easy now that I have the dimensions.

    Tailgate latching mechanism rods

    Seeking a tailgate latch rod for my '92 D250. Previous owner apparently had an issue with a broken clip and took the driver's side latch and the rod out as one. Latches appear to be plentiful but if someone has experience with one over another I'm all ears. Dorman, LMC and Geno's are no-go...
