Re: 85 GMC Sierra "Scarlett"
First things first though. I had an issue with the hood latch cable that needs to be addressed. I ordered a new cable and latch from Classic Industries.
They carry a reproduction cable assembly and latch mechanism that looks original. Unfortunately the latch mech was junk.
I spent an hour trying to fix a captured nut that wasn't installed correctly before going back to the original latch.
I had blasted and painted it previously, so I focused on cleaning the pivot points. Everything was thoroughly cleaned and lubed. The OEM mech was installed with the new release cable and it worked like new once again.
