My 99 with a NV4500 had the GMT400 factory console... I will have to get this sitting in there and see how it fits, otherwise I do have a GMT400 console as well.

Wow, such a cool build. Love the form and function, as all of your trucks have been in that sense. Always been a big fan of your work on GMFS, glad you're over here now.

ok just curious.

in wish my interior was the same color as yours, mines maroon.
my 88 has red interior as well *rages* I'm thinking I will swap it over to a later dash in grey.

Thanks! I really like keeping things useable and looking good. I hate things that look tacked on or like they shouldn't be. I didn't even know about this forum till I started talking to Brett :lol:

Ran to the junkyard yesterday to try and find a driver's seat (no luck) but I did find a really good score.... Factory fog lights. You know, because I need more light.

Utter destruction?
Pretty much!

duramax swap :up:
I wish! One day, one day.

glassworks fenders for mashing dunes.
I don't think that would work well with a camper. Although that would look BA on a dually.

Needs no trans cooler, NV4500 :read:
I haven't actually had them in the snow yet, I bought them in feb and we had a very light winter.






So what was I doing? Yeah. Nothing but mere maintenance. Just trolling a little bit.

Ever since I bought the truck the front carpet gets wet when it rains. On both sides. Everything I've read says to seal the screw in the cowl... well it wasn't a HVAC box leak.... It's both sides. So I proceeded the first time to clean the cowl. Second time I sealed all the seams inside the cowl area.... After the summer it was once again back.

Finally, with the help of soapy water and air, I blew up the seam in the cab and found bubbles outside.

These corners, right in front of the hood hinges. This is after pulling some sealant up and cleaning with a wire wheel.

Here is what happens. The cowl (horizontal) meets the firewall (vertical). The center of the seam is not sealed, basically the entire length of the rubber hood seal. It is only sealed on the ends. Over time it appears that the sealant deteriorates enough that water runs down the seam and eventually makes it's way into the cab.

So, I cleaned everything up, pumped a bunch of windshield urethane in the hole to the cab and slathered a new layer on everything. I also sealed the entire seam across the cowl, which probably should have been from the start. To take it a step farther, I used a can of rustoelum flex seal rubber coating over every seam inside the cowl I could get to.

So far so good....

Hmm.... I need to look into this on my RCSB. My carpet gets alittle damp up front. I know my rear slider leaks (leaked) some. It has cracks in the frame that are all black siliconed up. I wanna just get a replacement solid deep tinted glass for it.

Putting an aftermarket slider in my 88 was a mistake. Thankfully I still have the solid glass for it.

I really want to find a nice 3-piece slider for the dually though. Would be nice as a camper pass-through.
