I was inspecting my brothers newfound 2003, 5.3L.. 12 footer. Nice truck.
I spotted what had been driving me nuts for decades with an actual factory made piece fulfilling those two extra holes on the front hangers, rear suspension.
my 1996 gmc is one.. predrilled spots, no fancy extra piece.
I did some measuring, went and got some home depot angle iron...
anybody done this?
the straw the broke the back was looking at my neighbors 1995 gmc, the verylast of TBI.. less than 1 year older than my 1996.
the frame was gone at the spots where the missing bracket tortures my mind.
half the miles, less than 1 year apart.. I attribute my 1996 multiport lasting to a 4 wire alternator, and my electrical masterminding (I dropped power consumption to 8 times less)
not sure why, other than great owners why this 363k mile has gone gold.
no end in sight.
this is my 1996 xcab.
I even repaired an overload on a reciever hitch, from decades past.
straight and smooth.
anyway, looking for actual mishaps, repairs, and mods on this area all the way to the back.
I got the tails done, added 900 pound extra in the leafs, and got to thinking of that extra dangle.
