    Comp Cams 268H and 1.6 rockers

    Just bought an 89 C1500 this afternoon with a 350 TBI. Engine needs rebuilt and I will be swapping some Vortec heads on it. I want to run the Comp Cam 268H, but already installed the 1.6 rockers on the heads, will this be safe combo? Or are the 1.6 rockers too much? I have upgraded the springs...

    Muncie/Getrag transmission any good?

    There's a truck that I'm interested in buying, it's a 1991 GMC C1500, 350 with Muncie/Getrag transmission (not sure what Getrag it is, I'm just reading off of the build sheet the person posted on the ad). Were these 5 speeds any good? Truck's got 175k miles on it. Only thing I would do to it is...

    Are dually axles the same width on a 2wd and 4wd? I know the SRW axles can be different widths, but not sure on dually's.

    4.3L vs 5.7L Torque Converter Stalls?

    Got the 4.3L out of my 97 and I'm going to be installing a 350 in it soon. I've been reading the torque converter stalls are different between the V6 and the V8. Question #1: is there going to be a problem using the V6 torque converter? I plan on keeping the 350 engine stock (stock cam, crank...

    Driver's side wind noise driving me nuts!

    Is it just me or does anyone else have this persistent driver's side wind noise? My 96 has this issue. At first I thought it was the windshield, got a new one last week, helped a little bit but the noise was still there. I noticed when I rolled my driver's side window down, then back up the...

    Is a fuse really needed for LED penny lights?

    I usually don't put fuses in-line with lights this small, but today I figured I'd put a cartridge in-line fuse in it just for the hell of it and ended up popping the supplied 10amp fuse with 12 3/4" penny lights on my valance. I was kinda surprised that it popped the fuse. I'm going to install a...

    Troubles with posting website links

    Not sure why this is such an issue to post an Amazon link (or any link for that matter), for some reason it turns it into a video media format. I am starting to get a little annoyed by this when trying to give people links. For example: It's an adapter for a steering wheel I posted in another...

    Vortec 4.3 to 5.7 swap questions

    Short story: recently got a 1997 Chevy C1500 with a blown 4.3 and my dad and I are going to be swapping it over to a 5.7. Upon my research, I'm going to need to find a computer from a 1997 truck with a 5.7 in it, does it need to be from a 2wd or can it be from a 4x4? Is the firewall-to-engine...

    Red and brown paint codes

    Having a hard time finding what this paint combo is, the website says Fire Red and Sunset Gold but I don't remember those being factory paint colors for these trucks? Thinking of repainting my 97 C1500 to this combo instead of the dark toreador and ultra silver. More pictures from the...

    New ACDelco A/C Compressor - reuse high side switch?

    I found out on my new ACDelco A/C Compressor for my 96 Chevy K1500 that I need to reuse the old compressor high side switch on the new compressor. 1. Is this switch actually needed or is it just for the aux fan on the condenser (which I don't have)? 2. How do I go about removing this switch...

    ACDelco Ignition Lock Cylinder

    My 96 needs a new ignition lock cylinder and saw RockAuto has an ACDelco one, but it says it doesn't come with keys? Description says "PART REQUIRES CODING AT GM DEALERSHIP." What exactly does that mean? Will the security light turn on if I replace it? I've already got new blank GM keys sitting...

    New Power Steering Pump Brands

    My 96 Chevy K1500 needs a new power steering pump. Flushed the fluid and it's still making a bad whine noise when turning, makes noise at idle as well. So on RockAuto they have Cardone, BBB, and Edelmann (I listed the brands from lowest price to highest price). I've read some reviews on the...

    Looking for a cloth tan 60/40 split-bench seat combo

    Would like to find one local only. Wanting to switch to cloth seats in my 96 instead of dealing with the leather in it, it's junk and needs to go. I would prefer the driver's seat to be power operated, but doesn't have to be. It can have some wear on the driver's seat, doesn't have to be...

    95-98 leather 60/40 seat cover

    Just bought a 96 Chevy K1500 tonight with the 60/40 split bench seat, leather. It's ripped in the usual spot where you hop out. Are these seat bottom covers easy to remove and slap a new seat cover on? I planned on getting this replica cover...

    Air vent issue

    This is weird... For some reason, when I'm using A/C, the vents will randomly shut off. Sometimes it takes 20-30 minutes, sometimes 10 minutes, etc. The blower motor is still running and A/C compressor is on, but for some reason air won't come out of the vents after a while of driving. When I...

    15" Directional wheels - will they fit?

    I have always loved the look of these wheels: Found a decent (clear coats kinda peeling) set for $100 on Marketplace. Problem is, they are a 15x8. I am having a hard time finding ones that are 16s. I can sometimes find 16/16.5 in an 8 lug, but not a 6 lug. At Fleet Farm they are having a Buy...

    Thinking about buying this truck as a project to do during my free time at college, but just wondered what these paint colors exact name are? Paint code? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/242640693861284/?ref=saved&referral_code=null

    Hood Ornament?

    Was looking at some 400s on dealer sites and saw some trucks had these hood ornaments: Were these ever factory or just an aftermarket item? I really like the look of it, but I'm sure they are hard to find.

    GMT800 tailgate width

    For those that have GMT800's, what's the width of the tailgate? I can't seem to find any measurements for them. The 400's tailgate width is about 63 3/4" wide (iirc). Found a stainless trim piece for the tailgate that says "Silverado", but its for an 800, I would hope the tailgates are fairly...
