    99 14 bolt FF disc brake swap

What all is needed? All the kits im seeing are for square bodies (73-87) Can i get away with some of the ORD...

    400 ci, 6.6L vortec, Can/has it been done?

    It does seem a little counter productive to not go with a LS based engine, i wont eliminate it as an option. Call me foolish but i really want to make a 6.6L vortec, i cant see that its been done but maybe theres a reason for it. arent the old 400's known to be torque monsters? As for the pcm...

    400 ci, 6.6L vortec, Can/has it been done?

    Ok, so im looking to beef up my 350 powered 99 3500. Ive been reading that the vortec heads can be placed on any small block and i have a 400 at my disposal. So can it be done, has it been done? I really dont see why not if my factory FI intake will bolt to the heads, the crank sensor mounts in...

    whats the best way to lower a 1 ton 2wd

    Im considering dropping my cclb 1 ton, swapping a dually rear end in and running semi tires, or wheels that loom the part, ive seen a few trucks like this and i love the way they look and i cant find a lift for my 2wd so might as well go low. I saw a belltech kit thats like a 5front/8rear but im...

    2wd to 4wd IFS conversion

    After doing more research and admiring how clean my cclb frame is Im thinking about scrapping the idea and lowering to the truck to give it a sharp street look and repairing the beat up donor frame and using that as my beater with a heater

    2wd to 4wd IFS conversion

    I was considering the frame graft, id switch bodies but the donor is a scsb, and the rear frame is bad, so the good body panels will go to my K1500 sclb, and the practically new service bed is going else where. How hard is the frame graft? Where do i need to splice? Like mid front door or...

    2wd to 4wd IFS conversion

    I am considering swaping my cclb 1 ton to 4wd with a complete donor truck. I know why didnt i just get a 4wd truck to begin with [got a deal on a 2wd, didnt have to pay 4wd permium] , Why dont i just do SAS [have a set of 1 ton danas, but this is a daily and i prefer the IFS] , Why dont i lift...

    factory bumper brackets, which one do i need?

    NE, indiana delfco Just the mounting bolts on the frame, how far they measure apart, compared to my 1/2 ton bumper the holes are closer together, the one ton looks like theyre spread further apart for maybe better weight distribution while bumper towing

    Are there any cat-backs for a 99 cclb

    I have a 99 cclb 5.7 pickup and i cant seem to find a compatible exhaust, anyone ever put one on a lwb truck like this?

    factory bumper brackets, which one do i need?

    That would be great. As long as its a 8600gvw 2500 and the frame bolt holes neasure the same as mine, LMC doesnt list 1 ton for their brackets.

    factory bumper brackets, which one do i need?

    Not sure if this is the right page but bumpers can be for mild towing.i guess. Either way i need a new bumper, im not sure which brackets to get. LMC has a kit for the 3/4 tons with RPO C6P, my one ton is obviously a C6U. Are the brackets the same? Do i need both inners and outters? Any help is...
