    Need oppinions on fixing rust issues

    So the other day I took truck through an auto car wash, you know those ones with the super nucular hair dryer at the end. Well the dryer kinda blew the chrome rocker crap off my driver door a little bit and exposed what I had already feared. RUST and destroyed paint! I have wanted to get rid...

    Can I get my build thread moved?

    At first I liked the idea of a closed build thread so I put it in the lifted and off road section. Now I think I would rather let people reply in my thread. So can that happen? Maybe to the members trucks section?

    How useful is an air/fuel gauge? A-pillar gauges

    I converted to a carb on my 94 due to the engine build is too much for the TBI. Anyway I still have an O2 in the exhaust so I thought about adding an air/fuel gauge on the a-pillar. I really want a trans temp gauge on the a-pillar to keep an eye on my TH700R4. I also thought about a vaccume...

    I am the odd man out, Work truck grill pics please

    I actually want to go from the chrome grill to the work truck grill. In my opinion it just looks tougher on a 4x4. So lets see your W/T grills color matched, contrast colors and also are there turn lenses available? I would probably just tint them with nightshades but was curious if they...

    Talk to me about wheel offset and backspacing for a 4x4

    I have learned these trucks are a bit sensitive to what wheels are put on them. My fist GMT400 had 15x12 wheels and a crappy lift and it ate up everything in the front end. (dont even know what offset and backspace they had) My 97 had 16x10 with zero offset and 4.75" backspace and didnt really...

    Planing stage of custom interior, Several questions, brainstorming ideas.

    Ok my first question is for those who have swapped a 95+ dash into a 94- truck. Will the 95+ HAVC controls work on the 94-? I would like to intergrate the rotary knob style controls. Has anyone used aftermarket HAVC controls such as dakota digital?

    cutting the droop stops down on the frame?

    Im talking about the part on the frame thats below the back bar of the upper a-arm, it limits how far it drops. My 94 has what looks to be a 2-3" lift with diff drop brakets and rear add-a-leaf. My problem is its bottoms out before the truck is level, and adjusting so that it had room to move...
