My 1989 Chevrolet K1500 Silverado's interior is filthy. So, in this video, I remove the seat and carpet in preparation for a deep clean. #k1500 #c1500 #obstruckbuild
Man… you have no idea how lucky you are that those torx bolts holding down the seatbelts came out that easy, I’ve used an impact drill, lube, hammer and chisel to get rust off, heat gun… I’ve been working on the driver side bolt all day and it won’t budge… hasn’t been out in 34 years so I knew it would be tough but damn. Glad you got yours out easily!
That is a beautiful truck. That rust isn't too bad. I had a 92 Cheyenne with a hole in the drivers side floor pan and my window crank fell through it once haha
Awesome video, man. I have an 89 C1500 that I am working on right now. I kept trying to find pictures and videos of the original carpet, because mine is grey just like that. I kept thinking there was no way it was actually that faded! But lo and behold, that blue underneath looks great!
The heater.box has a moisture drain in it and they get plugged. This causes the water to leak down the fire wall under the hvac box. Take the blower motor off and Vacuum the inside off the heater making sure you clear the drain. I live in canada and I do it once a year
Hey maq, I have a 90 silverado. I started the truck with frost on the windshield and the wipers were on so the driver's side stopped working something popped. Can you give me any instructions on how to repair it or how I can get the grille off where the wipers studs comes through the grille.thanks love your videos and i also like how "detailed" you are in your repairs.thanks again!.
Hi Mack, check out the video linked below (if you have not already) I believe I remove everything you need to remove to fix your problem. At least it will show you how to get to it to see what is wrong. Let me know how it goes. ruclips.net/video/WJxpsTZzoOc/видео.html
My 1990 gmc c 1500 had rust on the drivers side, under the long wire tray that is next to the rubber seal and the seat, I am not an expert on metal fabrication so I cleans it up and used fiberglass for the repair. Great video. One more thing I don’t know how you can make videos and make them look so good, I can do the work but filming and working at the same time will drive me nuts. What is the secret? So I can film something. Thank you.
Thank man. I got you with the videos fam. I'll make a video showing you my whole setup from how I get the shots to what I use for editing. Give me a few days.
I hope this helps. I use simple and cheap stuff. See the link below. ruclips.net/video/jTncWFWso4g/видео.html I made a quick video showing what I use. I didn't do any car stuff so I put it on my other channel. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm all for more people making car videos.
Hello Maq, I have a '89 Chevy K1500 as well. Have you ever had a problem with your emergency brake dash light staying on continuously? I would definitely put new carpet and padding back in!
@@MaqsVids man thats not a bad truck at all but you and my dad are alike he just bought one and i want to help him bring it back and he just wants to skip steps 😂
I think I did. It was related to the heater core. It seems like mine was a heater core leak or where the hoses connect to the heater core. I show what I found in this video. ruclips.net/video/70tsqItZqtU/видео.html
damn...we are in the same boat. I'm pretty sure mine had something to do with the heater core tubes. The next video will be coming out soon. I'm working on it now
I finally found me a storage box in the junkyard today. I got the box, the tool tray, the lid, and the wing nut but I couldn’t get the stud removed. Did you unscrew your stud by the wing nut?
@@MaqsVids interesting, I have a 1989 Silverado Step-Side and it’s lowered at the front which I hate so I’m trying to lift it. But not sure what the right height seems right for me. I like yours. Must be standard height
I have had an 89 GMC Sierra SLE since it was new and I always kept it maintained. There are many things to learn about some of the quirks that can go on with them I'm one of your best resources when you run into a problem is to look on RUclips at some of the people who have owned them and dealt with them, but overall you are doing the right thing because the more you keep it maintained and cleaned the longer it will last you and regardless of what some people say they are still much easier to work on the newer ones. Here is a link that probably would've helped you at the time you were working on it, but may help you in the future; ruclips.net/video/VynpDqay_Eg/видео.html
Great video great instructions. I can tell what’s going on this morning the best videos on this I’ve seen. Thanks a lot.
Can't wait to see the rest! Wish I had the cajones to rip up all the old carpet, I'm still just trying to get mine running.
same

Thanks! It's like having a two-tone carpet! 😁
Great 👍 job I'm working on my Chevy c1500... 88 bout to change the carpet myself
Outstanding. Thank you Sir.
You are very welcome!
My 90 knob looks same as yours and just unscrews. GM 15588503 is same part number used 88-94 on the K1500 trucks.
Thanks a lot!!! I'll give it another shot. I tried twisting it but the cover just spun around. I'm going try it with some channel locks.
I got it off with channel locks. Thanks again!

great video. good explanation. really appreciate the video
Thanks and you are very welcome!

Thanks. I'll check that out.
Use a metal hammer. No shock when you use rubber.
Awesome fun video
Thanks! I'll be back at it today....Cleaning the carpet and draining the coolant system flush
Very helpful 👍

Uh oh. Not yet. I guess I have that to look forward to. It seems like they all get the same problems eventually.
Late reply, are your brakes/brake fluid all good?
Is there a button or lever on the seat to get it to lean forward? I have a 1995 Cheyenne but i can't get the seat to go forward
Hey Rob! I made a quick video to show you what has always worked for me. Good luck!

The first time the outside of one of these is in way better condition for me
The outside is not in good condition either. (Don't tell anyone.)
@@MaqsVids man thats not a bad truck at all but you and my dad are alike he just bought one and i want to help him bring it back and he just wants to skip steps 😂
His dash board is out of control bad and he said he just wants to get a dash cover for it not going to happen 🙅🏽♂️
Did you find out where the water leak is from? I have the same issue.
I think I did. It was related to the heater core. It seems like mine was a heater core leak or where the hoses connect to the heater core. I show what I found in this video.
ruclips.net/video/70tsqItZqtU/видео.html
I have an '89 Sierra 1500. I have a leak on the driver side somewhere. Id love to know if you were able to figure it out.
damn...we are in the same boat. I'm pretty sure mine had something to do with the heater core tubes. The next video will be coming out soon. I'm working on it now
Mine ended up being a windshield seal
I finally found me a storage box in the junkyard today. I got the box, the tool tray, the lid, and the wing nut but I couldn’t get the stud removed. Did you unscrew your stud by the wing nut?
I think I am missing something. I don't think I removed the stud.
Hi, did you raise your truck a certain amount or did you just level it?
Hey man! I have not touched the height. From what I have seen it is stock height front and back.
@@MaqsVids interesting, I have a 1989 Silverado Step-Side and it’s lowered at the front which I hate so I’m trying to lift it. But not sure what the right height seems right for me. I like yours. Must be standard height
@@MaqsVids Thank you for the reply by the way!
how’d you remove the little plastic but where the buckles go through?
Hi! I pushed both through the seat. They stayed with the buckles.
@@MaqsVids ah thank you!
Great video
Was that a t50 to remove the seat belt
Yes it was. I had to go back and look at the video. ruclips.net/video/0yUZHko4g90/видео.html
Awesome channel I just bought an 1991 Obs short bed white burgundy interior 🦧
