    Classic Truck Consoles

    Has anyone used any of their products? I am seriously considering just buying one of their console to modify and use in the wagon. The grand prix console (casket) just won't suit my needs, even though I have a GP dash. I have a Malibu console too. In any case, I just wanted to see if...

    Metro or Softseal Door weather stripping

    Ok, I know a few of us wagon owners are using the Metro, is anyone using the Softseal? The Softseal is almost double the price per pair of doors at some places. Rockauto sells the Metro brand. Usually you get what you pay for (at least for me anyway it seems), so I am curious if the Softseal...

    Tubular front upper control arms, who is running what?

    Well, I am actively looking for some tubular front upper control arms. I fear my downpipe will start contacting the stock one I have all refurbished and painted. This will cause false knock and screw with my tune. So, I am curious as to who is using what. For me, a vehicle driven 50 miles...
