    PS request wheel swap and 2F/4R drop

    I'd like to see my truck on the cragar soft 8's 3978950 with the nitto nt555 g2 275/50r17, with a 2 inch front, 4 inch rear drop. The wheels are really what I'm after, so it doesn't have to be the exact tires, and if the drop will take too much time, that's fine too, but I would like it. I...

    6.0 ls swapped 95c1500

    I apologize in advance, I can sometimes tend to over think and over complicate things, so if any of what I say is way out of left field, let me know. I'm working on putting in an 04 lq4 into my 1995 c1500. And I've got a few questions while I work on things, like finishing the engine rebuild...

    95 4l60 no first

    I rebuilt my trans about 3 months ago, put about 5000 miles on it. I've only had one small hiccup since the rebuild. Last night, the truck stopped going into first gear, and the fluid level is much higher now. No slipping ever, and the truck will start in drive, just starts in 2nd, and if I...

    Full bench upholstery/rubber floor

    Like most of these trucks, the side bolsters on both the seat and back of the seat have... Lost the will to live. It's a 95 with the full bench. No arm rest, not the split bench either. I can't seem to find any sort of kit to recover it, but, I probably should redo the whole seat too. Where...

    Need more heat

    Not sure if this is 100% the right place, so if not, I apologise. The heater in my truck isn't the greatest. Last fall I replaced the water pump, thermostat with a 205 for the winter, and hoses going to the heater core, and back flushed the core multiple times. The year before that, before I...

    Hose from evap canister to tb broke

    Replaced my freeze plugs the last week (or 3) getting everything back together, yesterday was around 0F. In the process of getting in one of the screws to the upper fan shroud, I bumped the little plastic tube that runs from the throttle body (95 4.3) to the evap canister, and, well it was real...

    Winter grille cover for 95?

    Anyone know of a winter cover for the 95 GMC w/t(if it matters)? The truck takes about 30 minutes to get to 150 ish sitting. Driving, the needle will bounce between 165 ish and 210, with a new 205 tstat. I've got the 4.3, and iirc, the radiator is the same between it and the 350, and the little...

    Damned "freeze" plugs

    So I'm doing the freeze plugs in my 4.3 2wd 95 c1500. Before I got it, the two, easy to get to, plugs were replaced. This was a little more than a year ago. A few months ago, I noticed drips of coolant. Yep, another plug, gone bad, this one, thanks to the engineers at gm, right behind the motor...

    Stupid freeze plug behind motor mount...

    I've got a leaky freeze plug. A year ago two were replaced, and of course they were the easy ones to get to. Apparently the shop didn't think the others needed it... I've watched a few videos on getting to it(pass side, 4.3L) any tips on getting at it? How long should it take for a guy...

    26 years of a slide in bed liner

    I finally got up the courage to remove my slide in bed liner today. 26 years in Seattle. Almost no rust, a little surface rust. Drain holes are actually really clean. She sat parked a lot, under a big tree. Hauling wood occasionally, and was it's real only task the last 5-10 years. I was...

    Bigger front brakes on 5 lug c1500

    So, im aware of the thread on brake upgrades on these trucks. They seem more aimed at the 6 and 8 lug trucks. Do the 8600 gvw calipers still fit the 5 lug? I've already got a pair. I can't use the 2500 rotors, as they're 6 lug. So I'm stuck with 5 lug rotors. Doing research, I think I'm going...

    Rear end hop under normal breaking

    Hello, in my 95 1500 single cab long box, the rear end hops under normal breaking at about 45 mph. My plans are as follows. 1)replace wheel cylinders with one ton dually. I've had both side by side and they'll fit, the one ton just has a larger bore. Paint the backing plate and drum(after...

    Horn/wheel removal on 95 c1500

    So, I've watched videos, turn wheel to 3&9, flat blade screwdriver, twist, pop wire retainer, repeat on other end. The issue is, I don't think that's how my air bag is held in. I see where the hole should be, but it's just solid plastic. Is it different for these? Sent from my SM-G930V using...

    Having trouble with 2" coil spacers, 2wd.

    So I just got my 2" spacers installed on my 95 c1500. Boy I must have messed something up bad. The front end is springy as hell, like I've got no shocks. It's got new Monroe gas magnum's all the way around(stock length though) the tires do this odd hop/screech thing at about 25-30 Mph. I'm...
