Custom rear bumpers *pics please*

Not exactly off road worthy, but the GMT-800 bumpers have an updated look. And for $45-55 a piece ...incl. the brackets...at the pick-a-part they are cheap enough to smash and replace over and over.

Engine swap

I have a '90 K3500 Chevy 350/400 that I'd like to swap in a stock TBI 454 into to make a tough farm truck out of. The K3500 has no A/C, no cruise, manual heater controls, locks, and windows. Will the TBI 454 swap right in or will the ECM affect the effectiveness of the fuel injection (SBC to...

Finally! GMT800 style towing mirrors on GMT400.

There is a little vibration, I have a mild cam so the lope at idle made the OEM mirrors vibrate a little, I don't think I'll mind it. If it gets worse I'll take them apart and do some re-engineering The difference in view is worth it. Not even in the same ballpark. Esp. with a dually, half...

-- I know this bench was a score, I like the bench, and may just make a slip on cover for it. If I go buckets it's going in another truck I'm fixing up. However, I've got a friend who inherited his dads junkyard. He has 15-20 GMT400s he's letting me pick over before he scraps everything. I've...

Junkyard makeover - Interior

In the never ending process of improving my '92 Cab/Chassis K3500 I've begun tackling the super basic vinyl W/T interior...( no power locks, windows, mirrors, no ac and manual vent / heat controls) For a temporary fix I added the carpets and cloth bench out of a rusted out Silverado trim truck...

Is This Normal?

Parentnoia--- #1 a surge is normal, that's a little higher than I've seen on a 350, but it's been awhile since I drove a stock Vortec 5.7 The engine is under a slight load and releasing into park releases that. like pulling on something and the strap comes loose, you'll surge ahead. #2 -...
