1978 K5 LS/NV4500

Been working on little things lately when I have time. Finally fixed the courtesy light wiring and got new bulbs and housings. Nice to have some interior lighting.

Also finally got a Resto Sounds radio to fill that ugly hole in the dash. Got front speakers installed under the dash. Need to figure out what I want to do for rears.

Tossed a couple more car seats in it. The kids are obsessed lol.

Badge I got for the grille just to subtlety show it’s swapped.

I drive it anywhere I can as long as it’s not 100°. It really stands out in certain areas lol.

What he said^^^

@78SWB Are those custom upholstered or covers or? Id love to do the same thing for my truck, just a different color combo.

They are factory originals that I had refinished. The plaid is original material but the red leather backing is aftermarket. I know they also made blue and yellow plaid seats as well. There’s got to be a company out there making something similar. Or you can get some TMI seats made.
 
My uncle had some sort of special edition with the red plaid. His was probably the first square body I liked. Used to think they were plain.
The next one I liked, I bought, starting my addiction lol.

Your truck is beautiful :waytogo:
 
Working on trying to fix the transfer case leaks.

I am missing a NP208 vent tube. Can’t find one anywhere. Does anyone have one laying around they would sell?

Looks like this I think?

Thanks @brandon85465 for the vent tube. Hopefully it stays in lol. I put a little bit of rtv on it so maybe it will.

I replaced the speedo o ring and seal. That fixed the majority of the leak. Resealed the housing that has a crack in it and it seems to be holding for now. Still need to replace that and probably rebuild this 208 eventually. But it’s not leaking as of now.

New pedal pads. Not sure why I never did this before.
