    Dad's '98 Resto

    Believe me, I live in the US South! I don't even understand some of the slang from state to state and I've lived here all my life.

    I fixed it for you, with American vernacular. :Big Laugh::Big Laugh:

    Authenticity Forum

    I agree with the others. GMT400s were mass produced and the possibility of owning a rare truck is minimal, unlike other collectible cars where OEM is a premium. I've tried to keep my truck as original as possible, but have used parts that were not GM specific (Ex: Radiator overflow, Washer...

    1990 K2500 Radio/Equalizer Upgrade

    I meant to post this when I saw your update. If you want the display to match the AC display, this was the best color combo I came up with. USER defined display R - 00 G - 32 B - 06 This is of course if your model allows you to play with display colors. I’m not sure if all models allow this.

    LMC wheelwell moldings?

    Yes. Same here. I used some Duplicolor spray paint to paint the inside of the wheel well lip that showed past the molding. As I said earlier, but didn’t clarify, I did have to redrill holes. I worked on one wheel well at a time and didn’t try to do all in one day, so the time was spaced out between.

    Daily truck pics

    The owner of the shop that works on my truck gave me some great advice, "If someone asks what you'd sell it for, don't even give them some crazy number if you're not serious about selling. Someone with enough money is just liable to pay it." :33:

    Daily truck pics

    Remember, that's an asking price and I'm sure there can be a little haggling. I judge a truck now by looking at the underside. That one is almost pristine. No undercoating ever to hide anything. Like @BonestockK1500 said, try to find another one with this mileage and condition. I know it...

    I’m a DA…what maintenance have you screwed up?

    I don't do the maintenance on my wife's '16 Camry, but took it to the Toyota dealership instead. UNTIL, my wife took it in for a tire rotation and fluid check only. She called me a day later with the car boiling smoke and I told her to go immediately back. Come to find out the oil was "topped...

    1994 K1500 ECSB "The G Wagon"

    Like many of you, I’ve been watching @98BlackSierra ’s build and saw his recent post about his rims. That reminded me I had two more to work on. Maybe this will help you. Oxidation over the years had played a toll. The first two I did on the truck, but this time I pulled the tire/rim (I’d...

    LMC wheelwell moldings?

    LMC trim didn’t line up at all with OEM. I had to drill new holes for the LMC trim. Taped it place with painter’s tape and marked the new holes with a sharpie before drilling.

    LMC wheelwell moldings?

    I’ve seen that one as well. I believe that’s a flared type molding from the looks and not an OEM look. Some like it, some not. My dad has that style on his Ferd.

    LMC wheelwell moldings?

    I have. They are a little less sturdy than the OEM trim. I had to get two new ones replaced from LMC due to damage during shipping or just poor QC. I just ordered one for the driver front side that got dinged somehow and they shipped it in a huge box with great packaging. I'm pleased with...

    Worst OBS mods

    That's really funny! I searched for an appropriate (hideous) pic on the web and what are the chances (on the whole world wide web) that we'd choose the same pic????? I guess WE really don't like that truck and its mods very well.

    Worst OBS mods

    My previous post reminded my of my pet peeve. I'm not a big fan of today's lifts on GMT400s, those with large rims and rubber band tires. Kinda like this pic looks. Just a little too modern for our trucks, I believe.
