    My GMT400s

    FWIW the 98 C1500 W/t was not a good purchase. 13 years of limited plant duties and 10 years of sitting caused a lot of problems. for a vehicle with now around 37K miles I have replaced WAY TOO MANY parts. My 16 year old son wanted me to race him in his 3.0L ranger. I finally did the other day...

    Corvette buckets

    Yeah I am familure with the problems of the bases. I actualy had two clevises break and had to 3D print new ones. these were spares I bought. Only a drivers power base and no bolster bladders. I have to figure out which lines to put 12V to to see if they work. nobody on the Vette forum has come...

    Corvette buckets

    When I bought my C1500 W/T a little less than a year ago, I knew it had some issues despite being ridiculously low milage. One of the issues was the bench seat being tore up under the mexican blanket cover. I tried putting a 60/40 out of an extended cab in it and had some issues. I ended up...

    My GMT400s

    FWIW back when I had an SS454, I put 31" BFG all terain tires on it. I have gathered a lot of parts but still need a few. i met some nice people on marketplace to get what I have, but dealt with a lot of "not so nice" people along the way.

    My GMT400s

    I have a really nice 2000 GMC C3500. I bought it brand new, paid cash for it and it is still nice because I do not drive it much. In 21 years, I have put only 57K on it. It gets horrible milage and I can’t really afford to drive it. My son is getting his license soon and wanted a truck. I would...

    Cheap corner step bumper

    I primed it with POR15. its rocker guard from a shutz gun, but kinda the same thing. I thought it did a great job of hiding the dents too.

    Cheap corner step bumper

    I wanted a newer style rear bumper with corner steps to make it easier to enter the bed. I couldn’t find any deals on marketplace and since the OEM bumper was painted, I went with the $10 fab it yourself option.

    Poor mans boom matt

    I don’t know if anyone here is thinking about doing poor mans Home Depot boom matt in their truck, it takes almost 3 rolls to do the floor and back wall of a standard cab. Get 4 rolls if you are going to do the roof or outer door skins. Just a warning this crap went up 42% since the last car I...

    Later door panels on earlier doors?

    I havent found any sets yet. I found a good passenger door and he said 96 but the truth is it came from a 96 truck where every panel was a different color. the "door card" (new term people are using) looks a lot more like my old SS454 pickup. Will my lock cylinder fit in an earlier door?

    Later door panels on earlier doors?

    I need to put some rust free doors on my 98, and all I am finding are earlier than 96. I saw the pics on door differences. Just how hard is it to put 98 door panels on earlier doors? What is involved? I have skills and tooks but I just want to know what i am up against.

    I can take pics of my frame but the 4x4 frame is 15 miles away and I have to make an appointment to look. I was hoping sombody here would know before i get out the tools and cut saw and head over.

    2wd frame vs 4wd frame?

    Yeah I really only need from the stearing box forward. . Dunno what would be easier, making plate sections or grafting the front horn on.
