..realized today that GMC & Chevy cannot interchange the taillights.. sucks for me as I really like the LED style GMC tails.. hatched plan B and ordered the parts needed to modify my Chevy tails (.. more to come). Also discovered that white leather is much harder to come by than you might think at the local upholstery supply shops.. need to expand my search area this weekend..

Yea there is no way around it... on the electric ones you just can't get the pressure up enough.


I’ve found the pressure is fine anywhere around 2500. But you need 2+ gallons per minute to make any real foam.

do you have a "cap-it" close to you??

 

i found the cap-it in kelowna had the best price for plastidip.  i wish i could remember how much it was per can, but i think it was a little under $20...  like $18 or $19??

Going for full on Storm Trooper? :drool:

 

Friday I added to my center console. New First Aid kit with a shiny bowtie (same style as on the grille and tailgate :D ), Chevy branded emergency power stick, and some paracord to go in the first aid kit. That also is Chevy branded, cause I'm like a damn kid in a candy store whenever I see stuff like that. I also got a Chevy trucks microfiber cloth for kicks too. 

 

After browsing through the engine cover thread, I decided to go for one myself, I have some extra decorations in mind. Just have to wait for it to get here. 

 

Also got the emergency roadside kit (with the bowtie, naturally) on order to stash under my rear seat. Like the idea, and I have a few upgrades in mind.

Just found that out recently. No idea why they didn't keep the tails the same. The difference between the two is so amazingly minor it's frustrating.

Got underneath for some more pre-winter prep before I head to Rust Check for undercoating. Finished up where GM left off.. clean and paint rear axle with can of truck bed liner and sprayed down every exposed bolt I could find under the chassis with Nutz Lube (love that stuff). I also found the steering wheel a little thin and too hard for my liking so I added a much needed cover.

 

about that time of year isnt it. Why Rust Check vs anyone else?

Finally got my linex done.  I had the rocker panels, the top part of my fenders and my mirror caps done.  I'm happy with it. What's left are what still in in chrome.  I'm blacking them all out.
