    88-94 mirrors fit on 95-98?

    any reason the old style mirrors wouldn’t fit on newer trucks? Same pins right? I want to get rid of my plastic mirrors. The caps keep coming loose. My 2nd drivers side replacement just took a $hit. Plus I like the old school aesthetic of the 88-94 style mirrors

    What size brake line to use?

    I’m upgrading to the NBS master cylinder and all of the rusty brake lines are being replaced also. Should I be using different size lines since I’m putting a newer master cylinder on? Thx for any advice

    K2500 6 Lug - half ton or 3/4 Ton?

    i have 95 k2500 5.7 std cab long bed. It’s 6 lug which makes me think it’s just a 1500 with 2500 springs but other wise doesn’t share any other goodies with 3/4 ton trucks. Would love some confirmation thx

    NBS master cylinder swap

    in the post re: this it mentions using the corresponding weight class cylinder. My truck is a “heavy half ton” k2500. I’m assuming I still have 1500 guts. Correct me if I’m wrong. Thx Also having trouble finding a booster. Can I just get the NBS booster? Will it bolt up? Thx

    Stock suspension hardware question

    im rebuilding the front end on my 95 Chevy k2500 std cab long bed. I can’t seem to find the control arm bolts for upper and lower arms anywhere. If anyone knows part numbers or has a source I’d appreciate it. I have the stamped steel lowers if that makes any difference. My 2500 has 6 Lug hubs...

    Sealed beam to H4 conversion issues.

    95 k2500 work truck. Got glass housings that use 9004/H4 bulbs. Easy install but one light only comes on when I wiggle the connector on the bulb. Once it’s on, it shuts off all the way with hi-beam. Switched bulbs- same issue. Put Old sealed beam in and no problems. Any ideas? Bulbs are DOT...

    LED pods for diesel bumper holes. Need suggestions.

    The holes are roughly 6.5”x 4.25”. I’ve searched for 4x6 pods but there are a ton and while it’s easy to see how rigid lights and similar quality are the best, they are also 8 times as expensive. Any user experiences appreciated and also any info on making brackets or mounting suggestions...

    How much power can transfer case handle?

    Rock guard spray recommendations?

    Anyone have experience with this? Which brands work best? Googling yields a large price variance between what's out there and it seems that most of it is hard to find. My local parts stores don't carry any of them so I'll have to order online. Any info is helpful
