I believe there are some different type of Trunnions (Rubber mounted Polyurethane pairs) for the Step side. These would work better than the rubber mounted trunnions for the Step side. I'm looking into this as well. |

I added AC to the truck, so I removed the fresh air intake on each kick panel. I sealed to opening w/indents to accept speakers. I also created custom kick panels with speakers mounts up where the fresh air vents use to be, check out the PICS. So, I didn't need the cowl vent any more. I was going to do it myself, but it was much easier to have someone else do it! I took it to a body shop where they made a jig to hold in place so it would not move while working on it. While it was secure, they slowly cut out the vents without warping the panel. Then they replaced it with another peace of metal tacking it in place. Then they fiber-glasses the underside of the panel and completed the body work on the top of the cowl. The cost was $125 including a trade of another cowl. An extra one I had purchased in case I messed up this one. Good Luck and thanks for commenting! |

The engine is just awesome. Looking at your cluster resto and mods, I have to ask, what model VOLVO is the clock from ? I hope you can remember. Thanks, Rian. |

Voltmeter conversion I found it online. It was not to bad to do. I used the original face so getting that lined up was the hardest thing to do. Always do two at a time and pick the better one you complete. Good luck! :metal: |

I found one on ebay, just search the year and model I posted: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Volvo-240-26...3d15ab&vxp=mtr I might have put to much time into this but I did restore this 14 years ago and I could't find anything to fit at the time. There might be more available now. Good luck! :metal: |

The cowl seal is meant to keep water out of the engine bay. It directs water to the outside areas. If you keep you cowl/vents, Water can still get to the speaker area to drain/drip out of the bottom but I sealed it off to the interior. Factory drainage holes are there. If they get clogged with leave thats the reason this area rusts out. I didn't like that leaves would get blown into my vehicle during the summer months because the vents were open to get fresh air. It would be the only way I could get them out as well. I didn't need the cowl vent any longer because the only reason its there is to allow fresh air to get directed into the interiors air vents. I now don't get leaves blowing in. When I want fresh air I put the windows down, When I want AC windows are up and I get fresh AC blowing!! :c2: Convert to AC its well worth it! Keep it clean...... :buh: |

1954-1987 Chevy GMC Truck Stepside Tailgate Hinge Trunnion "Patent pending"
Ultimate Hinge Trunnion (4 Piece Set) made of Stainless Steel/Delrin replacement part! Made in USA! :gmc2::chevy: These are very quiet while opening and closing the tailgate. See the pictures Website is: tdtrunniondesign.com Price reduced Available on Ebay right NOW! http://www.ebay.com/itm/171718930810...84.m1555.l2649 These are hinge trunnion replacement parts to upgrade your Chevy Stepside Truck. The Trunnions are manufactured from Delrin and 303 stainless steel. I have a picture listed of the replacement trunnions that are zinc plated which will still rust on your truck. I also show the original trunnion that was removed and has rusted and made that awful sound while opening and closing the tailgate. You can reuse your bolts and lock washers, but would recommend you use stainless steel bolt and lock washer. Be sure to use an antilock lube when reinstalling your Trunnions, prevent bolt lock! Just remove the bolt with lock washer, replace with these stainless steel hinge trunnions and bolt back on your truck just in reverse of how you removed it from the truck. No more greasing the trunnion, No more rusting, No more noise with a huge improvement, smooth opening and closing of your tailgate! You'll love it! Free shipping USPS in 50 states. Material used: Delrin is a Acetal AF blend, supplied as a 2:1 blend of Acetal AF-100 and Acetal 150 resins, has excellent sliding/friction properties. Bearings made of Acetal AF blend can operate at higher speeds while exhibiting reduced wear. These bearings are also essentially free of slip-stick behavior because the static and dynamic coefficient of friction are closer than with most plastics. Acetal AF blend retains 90% of the strength that is inherent in unmodified Acetal. 303 Stainless Steel is very similar in properties to that of 304 Stainless Steel, However 303 has an addition of sulfur for better machining characteristics. 303 Stainless Steel is Corrosion resistant to temperatures of 1500 Degrees or more. It is used in screw machines, food processing equipment, marine applications, and some aerospace application. |
