Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

How exactly does it hold it secure? is there a panel in the back to prop it up?

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

no panel to prop it up.... I back the cage on the cd player back about 1/2 an inch and secure it to the deck with short screws... Then i bend the little piece of the cage tightly against that panel so it fits securely... I cut the hole a little bit extra on the bezel so it will go over the CD deck somewhat easy but not enough to wear the trim ring of the CD deck wont cover it once installed. The metal panel itself is lined up by using the holes for the bezle that its meant to use but once i installed it like that to fit it in the right place i used self tapping screws to directly hold it to the dash then removed the bezel locations...

Thats about it

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Ok...Today or tomorrow my Tramsmission Case Vent Cap aka sending unit vent cap will be here. Im considering buying some gas line and running it down the frame to either the front or rear of the truck to get rid of gas fumes it may cause in the cab of the truck. After "Searching" around it seems that light duty trucks actually had a charcoal canister but since my truck was equipped with the HD package they used the vent cap like all HD trucks..


What do you guys think?

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

That is soooo HD.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

interesting....Either way I figure if i move it a bit even if i leave just the cap at least the fumes wont be near the cab

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Did your neighbor get his truck in Camden ? I was going to look at one just like it but it was gone the next day when i headed that way.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

He got it in hartsville..I believe..I asked him to double check

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Yup officially been a year...My tags have to be renewed!! lol

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

the HD vent you have is all heavy duty. Of coarse, you do have the High sierra, thats like having one of Big tens like the camper special, cheyenne or custom deluxe,there the hd C10 because there made more in the C20 model. More common submodels for C10s were the silverado, custom, and the scottsdale submodel.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

High Sierra is just a fancy package for interior and exterior appearance...But the HD upgrade is what does it...Either way shes a truck lol

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Installed my new vent line and moved it down the frame away from the cab,,Also put some windshield silicon in a few spots to stop leaks...I think it working...Need more rain to tell for sure

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

I really like that. Do they make them for 67-72?

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

not exactly like this but they do make custom panels for your models too

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

I like those. Between that, new wheels, and all the other stuff you've done, that thing ain't gonna be no trash hauler, lol.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

WOW those door panels are really cool. Wish i would have seen those before i redid mine stock looking.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

Yeah, I painted mine and thought they would work but they are chipping already and busting through a bit so im gonna have to get new ones regardless...So thats what I want to do....Need my truck to be one of a kind heh

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

So i seemed to get most of the exahust leaks out but not sure until it cools back down.....

Installed the tips the lazy way...As I just put then over the existing pipe and pulled them out maybe a 1/4 inch....LOL Welded them on and bam!

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
 

That will do friend, that will do!
