They had the trim but a friend needed good ones so I removed them. Other than that they are complete with blinkers and mounts. I think there's a '93 with them at the wreckers here if anyone is wanting some.

I'll help once we get straight what he has coming at him already, and what of the balance he still needs.

Sorry that it's taken me so long to get back on here, PMs sent for GPs, Cables, Blower stuff, solenoid, and headlight housing.

Although, I could use both headlights and turn signal housings, im not gonna bother anmyone with a grille, for example, because im not trying to get all the parts to restore it, just to get it to be safe and reliable transportation for me and my family.

The starter i seem to recall was the standard bellhousing type.

And for the condition of the starter, before the truck was messed with i once cranked it so long i had smoke spewing out of it...when they screwed with my truck, it finished it off i figgur

when/if you replace it with another,remember crank for a max of 15 seconds and wait for at least 2 minutes before cranking again.this will let the starter cool and avoid what happened to the last one.

whenever possible,park on a hill so you can jump start it,rather than using the poor cables and starter.this will save them for latter when you do need them,until you can replace them.

I think I have a starter sitting somewhere also. I'll look for it tomorrow. I pulled the headlights out tonight and the blower fan.

No dice on a starter on my side but I did find a good positive battery cable. I'll get them all boxed up tomorrow.

Do you have the stuff you need? Have you PM'd these guys to see what's coming? Give us a list of what is left. From what i have read it looks like you should be taken care of. Give us the remaining list and I am sure we can get it.

Fender mount starter solenoid on the way. SE WI is where's it's leaving from so it should be there around mid-week.

They're cheap so I picked up a new one to send you. Should equate to less hassle down the road. Merry Christmas!
