I got mine from Chevy Duty several years ago. It has held up well and
Rodney is correct. The powder coating releases some pretty mean gases as

Not sure if the gases are flammable, but I know first hand that they are

' Swifts ' or ' Commercial ' red will look best as those dayglo modern
paints don't look very good on stock trucks .
Use good quality , single stage Urethane paints so it'll last a long
time and can be buffed out as it ages , two stage paints are not really
very good .

Mothertrucker,
Yes , the vendors sell a nifty ' just so ' rubber mat that's die cut so
you can easily cut out the floor shifter hole as needed or not if you
have column shift , be aware that rubber mats will hold _any_ moisture ,
no matter how small for months and months , causing your floors to rust

That's _not_ an upgrade .

Patrick, call a reputable radiator shop, they can clean and/or evaluate the
tank's condition. Keep in mind that you can replace the tank with a
reproduction for around $125 + shipping.

John, I bought mine from Chevy Duty (I think), am very happy with it, is
perfect fit, is very tough mat, has the pre-cut holes in it for the floorboard
tabs. I recommend you buy a pad for underneath - the one I got was not pre-cut,
I used the mat as a pattern.

I'll second that. I did my own, and though a lot of work, it came
out better than I expected.

Yes, there are many vendors with precut rubber floor mats, My
apologies, but I cannot recall the vendor that I went with. I do
remember I opted for a more expensive one, thinking you get what you pay

Allen, you're a lucky guy, no leaks. I haven't been able to contain a leak
thru my cowl vent. My truck not exposed to much rain (west Texas) but when I
wash it I lay down a towel so drips from vent don't go down between my mat and
firewall to floorboard.

Yes, that area is prone to leaks. When I painted my pickup, I bought
two cowl seals. I installed one and adjusted the metal until there were
no leaks (poor factory prep) and marked the adjusted position. Then I
removed the seal, painted, and installed the second seal. Too much
effort, but no le
Many thanks to all for the help. I hope i can return the favor.

Nate said it was not an upgrade, not that there is no conversion. Most old
truck vendors carry a conversion kit. The debate is whether or not it's a

I converted to roller bearings the same time I install disk brakes. Using

I am currently doing mine and the lash isn't that bad to set. However, I have
a spec for setting the lash from the Chevy manual for .005" - .008" but I
spoke to a man who has done several of these and he said that he sets his at
.012" and he says his gears will run a cooler.
