    1997 Auction K3500

    "So far as anyone knows, are all '97 C3500/K3500 srw slide on/off drums? I haven't jacked up the rear axle on the big truck and pulled a wheel to find out....14 bolt full floating axle,4.10 G80, early 97MY production (late September '96)." Drums did not slide off on my '93 K3500 SRW and they...

    1997 Auction K3500

    Hauled the old 327 from my C20, stand, and hoist over to my Dad's shop to free up some space in my shop. So far the truck has not given me any issues. I do have a small coolant leak from somewhere, have not found it yet. I assume it's a crack in the radiator. Still feeling pretty good about my...

    1967 C20

    Got the hood aligned (mostly). Weather looks mild over the next month so I am going to try and give the interior a go as I have most the parts already. Door regulators are very stiff from sitting for 10+ years in the desert heat. I will likely have to pull them completely out and...

    1967 C20

    As promised a bit more information.... Over the holiday weekend I managed to get the new motor dropped into the truck and got the hood back on. I also got some the engine hooked up; T/C to flexplate, T/C cover, starter, radiator and hoses. I don't care for the routing of the upper hose so I will...

    Possible new buy

    Go get it, you need it. Of course I have the habit of dragging home a lot of marginal vehicles so my advice is poor at best (and I am divorced so I don't make the best of decisions).

    1997 Auction K3500

    The 8 lug 2500 had a non floating (not sure the proper term) 14 bolt axle but the 3500 has the full floating 14 bolt. I prefer the full floating, until I have to do the brakes.....

    1997 Auction K3500

    Busy weekend with the truck. I got the trans, engine, t-case, and front diff fluids changed with new filters when applicable. Also lubed the truck and checked the ball joints and front brakes. It will need new pads shortly. I need to look at the rear shoes as well, kinda a pain with the full...

    1997 Auction K3500

    Been slowly working on the truck between using it for what I bought it for. Already pulled the utility trailer and checked gates with it. We had a million dollar rain this weekend so it is now muddy again. But, between all that I got the outside door handle replaced, got the new door card...

    New truck.

    Nice looking truck. If I were to buy a new one I would consider a Ford. I am kinda a Chevy guy but I also own two Fords. My daily driver is a 1994 Mercury Grand Marquis. I bought it from an old fellow who could not longer drive it. I have put about 25K trouble free miles on the car and would not...

    1967 C20

    I sold the turbines off of it for ~$200 IIRC. Some guy drove up from Missouri to pick them up. I never really liked them much on the truck. I know back in the day they were rather pricey. Tires on them had really good tread but a pre Y2K date code. I found two good take offs at a boneyard and...

    Bought this one at a farm auction for $200 (I think) about 4 years ago. I rebuilt the brakes at that time but so far that is about it. Been gathering parts for it as I come across them. Right now it is on the back burner until I knock out my '67 C20, '97 K3500 (newest family member), and some...

    1967 C20

    The build thread on this one is over at gmsquarebody but here are a couple pics of my '67 C20 build. Not a restoration just getting it back on the road after 20+ years. Bit of a backstory. My Dad bought it in the late '80s to haul a slide in camper. We camped all over the west in it. Was a...

    1997 Auction K3500

    Picked this up on BigIron for $1300. 1997 K3500, Vortec 350, 4L80-E, 4.10 axles. Drove it 200 miles from Cherokee, Iowa back home. Ran surprisingly well and really had no issues aside from the taillights falling out (they were held on by the harness so I was able to unhook and save them). Truck...

    New member from Iowa

    Hello All, Got directed over here from the gmsquarebody forum. Long time owner of a 1993 K3500 and I just picked up a 1997 K3500 on an auction to replace the 1973 K20 that my stepson totaled early in the spring. The '93 was bought by my Dad brand new off the lot in Moscow, ID. He sold it to me...
