    First year of extended cab with opening rear door to the back seat?

    The PO owner of my ecsb must have hauled straw and seed corn around in the back. Seriously I found a ton of straw in there when I pulled the interior.

    Floor Board/Door Jam Channel Area Repair

    I have a ton of new interior parts to put in and I am wanting to get my seats mounted. The issue I have is a small area of the floor and door jam have some rust and there is a small hole. I don't have a welder so I am in search of options. I have heard that the seam sealers today are strong...

    @Jorge6.5 I just double checked and it was $141.78 to my door. If I ever get the floor fixed and get it in I will let you know how it went.

    I'm also with you on the carpet vs vinyl thing. The places the wife and I enjoy going are no place for carpet.

    Thedoods 95 K1500

    My new vinyl floor has been in. As soon as I get the floor itself fixed in I can lay the flooring down. The first batch of front end components arrived as well. I have received the new pitman arm, idler arm, and idler arm bracket. My alternator failed, the bearing started whining but still...

    A/C Clutch Noise

    Thanks all who replied. I stopped last night and bought a new 105 amp alternator. Right now I am unable to do a lot of work myself so I had arranged to have someone helping me put it on at work today. On the way in it failed. It hadn't locked up but it did quit charging.

    A/C Clutch Noise

    I took the belt off today and the alternator is actually making the noise. Huge relief. The noise apparently was traveling through the engine and sounded as if it was coming from the block. Gave me heart palpitations. Now the decision is reman or new alternator and should I bump up to 124 amp...

    A/C Clutch Noise

    Thanks and I appreciate the reply. I think my issues may go much deeper. I will find out on my lunch but I think I may have a botched oil change, if so this will be the second time in a row a third party serviced this truck and cost me money.

    A/C Clutch Noise

    My A/C has started making some god awful noises. I am not prepared to replace the whole compressor. I was looking at parts online and it looks like the bearing in the clutch can be replaced, a part is listed for it anyway so I was thinking of going this route. Nothing has froze up as of yet...

    CV Shaft Prices and Brands

    @Fuzzy, Do you remember if you purchased a heavy duty set? I'm curious if cv axle replacement is something others think I should do and get out of the way since I will be in there anyway. I am hearing an occasional popping in the front when I take off (in 2 wheel drive) and when I turn. I know I...

    CV Shaft Prices and Brands

    I'm gathering parts of my 1995 K1500 and was on Rock Auto pricing CV Shafts. The AC Delco were 300+ bucks, the next most expensive were like $85. Are the AC Delco that much better? What brand would the members here recommend? Thanks for the help in advance. Edit: This is a stock truck that...

    Thedoods 95 K1500

    I ordered more parts yesterday. I ordered an idler arm, idler arm bracket, and a pitman arm. Later this week I will order all new tie-rod ends, tie-rod connectors, and ball joints. I am debating changing the control arm bushings at the same and just being done with it. The steering and...

    Deadbeats 1997 Centurion Conversion

    Deadbeat what will you have to do to mount this in the dash as far as kits go? It looks like it will fit perfect in the space.

    Thedoods 95 K1500

    @twomanymontes Thanks for the reply. I agree, the truck needs a little tlc and I plan on giving it to it. Its a solid driving truck but has the issues one would expect a 22 year old truck with 208k miles to have.

    Thedoods 95 K1500

    Hello all. New member here. As the title says my rig is a 95 Chevy K1500 Cheyenne extended cab short bed with 208,000 on the odometer. The engine is a 5.7 and was rebuilt prior to my purchasing the truck. The tranny is a 4l60E and also has been rebuilt. The truck runs well but was obviously a...

    Deadbeats 1997 Centurion Conversion

    I really enjoy reading this write-up. I dont have this model truck but I would imagine a lot of the same pitfalls exist in any of them. Excellent job and thanks for taking the time to share.

    Sliding Rear Window Leak

    Howdy all. I have a K1500 with a sliding rear window. One of the seals has tore and is hanging out causing the window to leak. I would like some suggestions on how best to repair, short of replacing the window anyway. Here is a pic of the window with the failed seal. Arrows point to the damaged...

    95 Blazer Buckets & Center Console Into 95 K1500 Extended Cab

    I picked up a pair of bucket seats and center console from a 95 blazer. The drivers seat is powered. The seat in the k1500 is a manual 60/40. Has anyone used these seats in one of these trucks? What hardware will I need to mount these in the K1500? It seems to me I will need risers? Thanks in...

    95 K1500 Suspension/steering rebuild

    Beat up thanks for replying. Those used lowers I found disappeared. I am going to have the wheels off this weekend and take a look real close and may not even mess with the control arms. Sometimes I am too damn picky and ocd about my stuff.

    95 K1500 Suspension/steering rebuild

    First off my truck is a dd with some dirt roads and and mild off roading tossed in as well. The stance is stock with no lift kit. The truck is a 95 k1500.

    Hello. Been lurking and doing some reading so I thought I would join. I have a 95 k1500 that I am currently using as a daily driver but will soon be using only as a road trip/camping and excursion vehicle. The truck is in decent shape. Someone has replaced the rockers and coated the lower part...
