    The thread for twins

    She looked pretty stock even in that pic... I take it you removed the wheel spacers, lights in the grille, running boards? Great looking truck, if I may say so (I'm a bit biased) :)

    How Rare is My 1999 Chevy K1500 Silverado Extended Cab?

    Very nice, but what's supposed to make it rare? It's one of the last GMT400s built, sure... and leather is probably fairly rare, but except for that, it seems reasonably common (popular, in other words, so don't take it wrong; 4x4 shortbed extended cab with the 350 and automatic would have been...

    The thread for twins

    Well spotted! That air deflector has been hanging like that ever since I had to remove those bolts about ten years ago in order to access and change my stock water pump which had started to leak through the weep hole. I used the opportunity to upgrade to a 130 gpm water pump instead, had no...

    The thread for twins

    Any other members were ever shocked to see their truck has a twin on this forum? I'll let you judge, the other one - definitely in nicer condition than mine, looks showroom - belonging to 95C1500 (his pic was public, I just reused it). They're both 1995 models too. __IMG_0119_zpsba1kpvz9...

    Door Handles ...

    I could be interested in your home-made pawls and rods... if we're several competing for them, would it help my case to let you know they'll be used on a close relative to your truck, namely my 1995 K1500 Z71 6.5TD short box...? :)

    1994 Chev K1500 6.5 TD ECSB - Junkyard Rescue!

    I've had my current 1995 6.5 turbodiesel Z71 shortbox halfton for eight years now, been using it for serious work, haven't been disappointed at all with the 6.5 despite its not-too-good reputation. FWIW, I totally recommend the 6.5 subforum at www.dieselplace.com -- it is THE best online forum...

    Grandpa's 1995 C1500 Reborn

    Looks great!! I thought my truck was very clean (for a '95 that I use as a work truck) but yours makes me rethink that! It's like looking through a time warp at what my truck looked like back in 1995! (I got it when it was already a bit over 10 years old.) I am going to be watching this...

    Grandpa's 1995 C1500 Reborn

    Yep, and BTW I'm waiting on you to post your pictures with spacers because I'm curious to see what my truck would look like with 2" spacers. Mine is a '95 too. Factory color (Light Autumnwood, if I recall correctly) exact same as yours -- I think it's a relatively rare color. But it never...

    Grandpa's 1995 C1500 Reborn

    Here are a couple pictures of your truck in your state, I figure I'd share them ;) First pic in Palo Duro Canyon, second pic on Route 66.

    The Member Truck Thread

    My post contained only one question mark (this symbol: "?"). My question is the sentence that was directly preceding that symbol. :p Namely, in slightly different words, "is the chrome strip that's on that truck's front bumper -- something I've never seen before -- actually a common part...

    The Member Truck Thread

    Just a little question for you guys... There exists a chrome piece that will hide the holes in the front bumper, replacing the black wavy trim that matches the original doors/side trim of our trucks? That's really nice to know!... Exhibit A and B, truck with a bumper that almost certainly has...

    1991 Reg Cab Step Side

    Well, I'm again going to pass nearby sometime next month with my truck, so I would probably still be interested, if you've still got that bed!

    GMT400 You can't quit looking at!

    This one is BY FAR the GMT400 I look at the most (not to be confused with "best-looking GMT400" :p) as it lives in my driveway and I use it pretty often.

    GMT400 You can't quit looking at!

    I normally don't like de-trimmed trucks but this one really pulls it off:
