    Upgrading tow vehicle

    Nice. The 6.6 gasser is a towing machine. I hear the 10spd makes it even better. I have a 21, so they were still using the 6 spd, but it does well also. What are you towing?

    Well the GMC emblem polished up pretty good, after sanding with 400, 1000, 1500, and 2000. Then used some Mother's aluminum polish, that I've had forever, with a couple polish pads on a cordless drill. Painted the stripe with the same blue, I've been using on the truck, cleared the whole...

    Decided to build a garage. Now the fun begins.

    That's similar to what I used, when I ran the line for my garage. Definitely the way to go. Makes it easy.

    Been looking out for a GMC grille emblem, for a little while, and came across one on ebay, taking bids. When I seen it, there was only one day left, and no bids. Price was at $45 so I figured, might as while get in on it. To my surprise, it got no other bids, and arrived yesterday. How it...

    I've been adjusting the doors, and latches off and on, since I got this truck, and never got the latches working satisfactory. So I bit the bullet, and bought the Altman latch kit. The install isn't too bad, just some pretty serious cutting. New latch My inside latch assembly was already...

    1999 C3500 CC DRW Build

    Always something ain't it? Is that a rear seat out of a double cab? Wonder if it's any different than a crew seat.

    1995 GMC Sierra 3500 Extend Cabin Dually - Drop

    Love those wheels. Very hard to find nowadays. You can run stock size tires on a 5/7 drop. No peer pressure. ;)

    2001 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Daily Driver Build

    I haven't been on the S10 forum in ages, but sounds like it hasn't changed much. The new face looks good.

    Those seats will be awesome in a crew cab. :waytogo: They work in a regular, but it's tight.

    2001 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Daily Driver Build

    '94-'97 S series trucks had sealed beam headlights. You could get the buckets from one of them. Would be an even easier swap, if you got the core support. Then you could run the truck grille too. Edit: I'm an idiot. re-reading your post, you have truck buckets already, and know all that. Carry...

    Got the tires on... I think the rears need 275/60s, but there's not a lot of room left, already.

    '50 Chevy 3100

    Wheels finally showed up today. 15x7 front, 15x10 rear. Going to swap over two of my current tires, to the new rears, and buy some skinnies for the front. Thinking 225/70 so the front tires will be about the same diameter as the rears. Also, they screwed up, and sent me two sets of...

    Sharp truck. Welcome.

    '50 Chevy 3100

    Not an exciting update, but a much needed one. Installed a proper over flow tank for the radiator. The previous one leaked, and didn't allow the rad to pull water back in. Also installed a fuel pressure regulator, with gauge, so I could see what the electric pump was putting out. I kept being...

    Changing tires fast ‘ Going opposite ways ..Need opinions on what will ride smoother and be good for a 5k suv ”

    I've run ATs several times, mostly BFGs, and never noticed any balance issues, on trucks from an S10 to a 2500. The only reason I didn't recommend BFG ATs, is they get noisy after a while. Very noticeable on the 2500. I had a set of MTs on a 1500, Cooper STT, if I remember correct. Cool...

    Changing tires fast ‘ Going opposite ways ..Need opinions on what will ride smoother and be good for a 5k suv ”

    I've seen a ton of people recommend Toyo AT3s, for their durability, performance, and low noise for an AT tire. Enough that I'll probably be going that direction when I need tires for my daily.

    Bowtie Brody's Namesake 96 454

    One of the other vendors said there will be a fall show, but starting next year, all swap meets spots will be outside of the track, which is where we were anyway. They make more money charging businesses to setup booths, than they do the average Joe, with a few tables. Did you see how much a...

    Bowtie Brody's Namesake 96 454

    I was at the Auto Fair Friday, with a buddy, that was selling parts. I took a few leftovers from the parts truck, and managed to sell about half of what I took. Didn't really expect to sell any of it.
