    FNG With Questions

    I would definitely find a 1500 and look for a 14bolt semi-floater out back. 1500's with the rpo code "f44" have the 14 bolt, most of the time. F44 is also known as the heavy duty chassis package (bigger rear brakes and 14b sf). I believe it almost always comes with a towing package. I got lucky...

    How to remove smoke smell

    Sorry to hear about the smoke smell. My 97 also had been smoked in for years. I work for a small business that caters to dealerships. Often we have to remove smells, and almost all are cigarette smoke. Personally I recommend taking the dash apart and cleaning everything with simple green. Let...

    Headache Rack

    Hey hawk eye, sorry about the wait. I had my 4l60e rebuilt with a lot of goodies, but after a mess of things, its back for mechanic's mistake involving my oil pressure switch's wires being between the bell housing and the block. I will get some measurements posted on here when I get it back...

    My 1997 GMC Somewhat bulid thread ( Lots of Pictures)

    Don't let the painters leave the cab lights in if you install them. Painting around them, just like the little washer fluid dispensers on hoods, or the bottoms of antanneas will cause paint to start flaking around that area. If you do still the holes, take the cab lights off beforehand or make...

    Dana 44 SAS

    Hey fellas. I have a 1997 k1500 that is currently all stock. It came with the rpo code f44 so it has the 14b sf rear axle. I want to lift the truck 3 to four inches max and I would also like to straight axle it for the strength and reliability. Is it possible to only lift it 3-4 inches and still...

    Headache Rack

    I find that the hardest and most meticulous part is getting the angles of the side tubing to match the c pillar's angle. Be sure to make sure they are what angle you want them to be and make sure they are both the same. Oh i was also going to let you know that it really isn't that bad to build...

    Headache Rack

    I will be sure to take some measurements and put them on a drawing for you. I plan on building my rack for my chevy with 2x4 or 2x3 if i can find some. I really like to see people making their own as opposed to buying them, so I thought you would like to know, of the two i have built, the...

    Headache Rack

    This is a little drawing to get you going in one direction or another. There are an unlimited number of placements for the steel. It is all about what you want. I will be getting my ecsb back on friday, I will be able to measure all of the steel. Would you be interested in me drawing one up for...

    Chevrolet tailgate banner

    I work for a body shop. Everyone here who is suggesting 3m double sided tape is right. However, if you want it to hold up and not fall off or sag there are a few things to do. First would be cleaning both the tailgate where you are placing the banner and the chevy banner. Get all of the old tape...

    Great looking truck. Definitely subscribed. I have a 97 k1500 and mine will turn out like yours. Storm trooper all the way.
