    Heres the factory K100 paint schemes, keep in mind that these are just rough estimates cause ya could get em in any paint combo ya wanted, like the Salem scheme, ya could get just Red/White or Red/White with Black/Gold or Black/Gold/Black breakup stripes or other colors... Maybe this will give ya some ideas for yer KW... I used ta have pics of the dealer sketch forms that dictated what colors went where when some lucky so n so ordered his new cabover... Lost em with my dang phone reset...


    Im really diggin this color combo! Man would that just be the cats youknowwhat if it was a Salem deal...

    Repainted it. Primer and all that fun thing... Lol enamel now. I like this alot better. Rewired headlights, put new ignition switch in. Cleaned the inside really good. Keep marking things off the list one by one IMG_20170903_174637567~2.jpg IMG_20170903_174644046~2.jpg

    Soooooo here's a question can I take a Toner wheel and housing off a newer transmission with a electric sensor set up and put it on mine? As long as it fits would this be a possibility? Just trying to think

    Is it safe to use junk yard parts for this?

    Sure on the hard parts. Yoke nuts are considered one time use but we reused a lot with locktite 2nd or weekend shifts. Usually worked with a good yoke or wear ring installed.
