    Great looking OBS. I picked up a 2000 k2500 a few months ago and am going down a similar journey. Look forward to watching your build.

    1997 5.7 only 9 mpg

    My 2000 K2500 with 5.7L and 4.10 gears averages 9.5 MPG around town and 9.5 MPG down the interstate. At least she is consistant:)

    I just installed the 41-993 plugs in my 5.7L Vortex. It fires right up and runs great.

    Building my first Chevy....aka..."Brute"

    The cap/rotor I ordered was United Motor Products # DCR 820X. I have never heard of the brand but the reviews looked good. I also ordered the Delco # 41-993 plugs. With winter coming soon, I need all the help I can get for sub-zero mornings.

    Building my first Chevy....aka..."Brute"

    I went out and jumped into Brute to run to town and it did not want to start. And when it finally fired up, it was missing really bad....great...just great. I limped it up to the garage and started poking around. Finally popped the distributor cap and it looked like a Hollywood house party in...

    Building my first Chevy....aka..."Brute"

    I ended up buying poly cab mounts to get the body lines correct. I got the poly bushings installed last week. The good news, the body/cab line up very good. The bad news is that the ride is pretty harsh. On wash board gravel roads, everything inside the cab rattles and squeaks. I'm not to sure I...

    Polished the aluminum American racing rims

    Those look great! I need to strip the tires off of mine and wet sand them down to clean metal and start over. When I bought the truck, I didn't even realize they were aluminum wheels!!!! They were dark brown from rust and brake dust. I thought they were old chrome plated steel wheels that had...

    OEM cab mounts

    I'll put some more miles on it before I go out and spend another $100 plus changing it. Maybe I'll get used to it but I am afraid all of the 20+ year old plastic will start cracking.

    Stock K2500 fender flare removal

    lol......I feel your pain. I took mine off my 2000 K2500 and I am going to do something different when I put them back on. The rear ones were easy, but I'm not going to remove the front fenders just to put them back the way they were.

    OEM cab mounts

    I got the poly bushings installed today. The good news, the body/cab line up very good. The bad news is that the ride is pretty harsh. On wash board gravel roads, everything inside the cab rattles and squeaks. I'm not to sure I can live with it. I'm probably going to have to bite the bullet and...

    OEM cab mounts

    I just put a 3" BL on "Brute" (https://www.gmt400.com/threads/building-my-first-chevy-aka-brute.55016/) so the bolts and hardware are either new or have already been cleaned up. The body lines between the bed and the cab are way off due to worn out cab bushings. I ordered and Energy Suspension...

    OEM cab mounts

    Does anyone know of a source to buy OEM rubber cab mounts? All I can find are the poly ones and I am told they will make the ride quality stiffer. Am I wrong about this?
