    New speakers

    I got around to replacing my speakers. I got new 4 x 6 speakers for both the front and rear. I replaced the front, but I'm not sure if the rear is the same size. Does anyone know what size the rear speakers are? Thanks

    350 swap?

    So my truck has the 4.3l efi engine. She's an 89 k1500. Would I be able to bolt in a 350 chevy and sniper efi without dealing with driveshafts needing made? I just want a little more hauling practicality out of the truck.

    NV3500 input bearing replacement

    As some of you already know my '89 k1500 has a noisy input shaft bearing, and I have to drive this truck from Oregon to Kentucky in about a month. I was very busy with helping my dad get the house ready to sell, but now we're done with that and I basically have nothing but time. I think it...

    Changing to split bench from a '94

    I finally got around to putting my new seats in my truck. The biggest issue I have is I snapped the rear bolt trying to get it out (yes I did use a pentrating oil, heat, and even worked the bokt back and forth. It just snapped when it was about half way out). Should I just drill it out and use a...

    New (used) transmission, leaking.

    I've been helping my dad with putting a new transmission in his '91 2500. We put a junkyard transmission in it. I think it might be leaking at the tranny cooler lines, but I'm struggling to get the ***** on it. There is however that pressed steel cap (not exactly sure what to call it) and the...

    Adding speaker boxes?

    I'm wanting to add speaker boxes to my truck. I picked them up at a yard sale for cheap (a dollar a piece!) And they have decent speakers in them. I was wondering if I could just remove the wires from the pillar speakers and run them to the boxes behind the seat. Thanks!

    Got my mooneis working!

    So I've been having trouble with my speedometer not working. I finally got around to pulling apart my dash cluster to figure it out. I pulled out the bezel to replace it with on I got from the junk yard that was in way better condition. I figure I'd try to get the damn cluster to work while in...

    Drilling holes in the floorboard

    So I'm swapping seats in my '89 from a bench to a 40/60 split and I want to hear what y'all think the best way to go about putting holes in the floor is. I was thinking drilling them and using the proper size carrige bolt with a larger washer on the bottom with a nylock nut on the nee holes, and...

    Seat conversion

    So I'm swapping my '89 k1500 from a solid bench to a 40/60. I was looking at both seats, and I think I might be able to mount the 40/60 to the solid bench frame and not poke holes through the cab. Is that doable?

    Window rollers

    So I got around to replacing the door locks on my truck. I managed to get the hand cranks off, but it is a PITA. I was wondering if there is any replacment that doesn't involve the stupid little clips. If not that's ok, but I have developed a hatred for them.

    Seat compatibility

    I am looking into getting a new (to my truck) seat from the junkyard. My truck is a 1989 gmc sierra k1500 with a benc seat. I am considering a split bench, what years from what trucks would fit in? It also needs to be manually adjusted. Thanks!

    Best fitting seat covers?

    I'm looking for a bench seat cover for my 89 that won't be a sloppy fit. I hatw most covers because they do nothing but slide around and come off. I was thinking of maybe just tucking blankets in, but that is kinda tacky.

    My first car, an 89 k1500

    Well, I just now got done with lots of work on my 89 GMC Sierra. She's my first car and I love her. She's got the 3800 series V6, EFI, and manual 5 spd (4spd w/ overdrive, NV3500???). So far I've dumped over 2000 bucks into her over the course of a few months after buying her for 500 bucks out...
