Tricks And Tips

I just found another thread like this on another forum.

What are some little maintenance or parts interchangeability tricks or tips you know about these trucks.

For example: a '66 mirror will screw in place the '67 - '71 mirror.

Re: Tricks And Tips

He's a cool guy though. He's gotta cheese it up some for TV. I'd say some jeans that fit the "daddy-parts" area better and a hair cut should be on his to-do list.
Otherwise, I like his show. I'd watch anything car related over the rest of the crap on TV anyway.

Early armrests interchange with later trucks too. They are so much nicer than the clunky 67-71 units. Bolts right on.

I agree. I wish I would have known that before I ordered mine.
