    In 1991, Chevrolet did not publish a "Gross Combined Weight Rating" (GCWR), that's the crux of my question. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    I cross referenced that manual but it shows GVWR, which I know mine is 7,200, not towing capacity. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Is the towing capacity for my truck going to be based on the Half-ton (5,000 lbs), or the 3/4 ton (7,500 lbs)? According to my RPO codes, I have 3.73 gears. How can I determine my towing capacity, as it might compare to a new truck?

    Single Din Stereo With a Foldout Touchscreen

    Whoa, how about this!? It's a double DIN face, with a single DIN case. It's also the highest rated Android Auto/Apple Carplay stereo out right now. From what I can tell in the video, it looks like the single din is higher up and the screen hangs down lower. That could be a perfect solution...

    Single Din Stereo With a Foldout Touchscreen

    If I drove mine more, I would have done something different. Mine is a third vehicle, used infrequently to pull my trailer. However, it's getting time to do something different. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Although I did add a 3.5mm input, long before I ever found this forum. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    I got ya beat, I'm still rockin the original stereo and cassette deck, because I can't decide what to do. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Single Din Stereo With a Foldout Touchscreen

    I appreciate you input. I've explored that option, but, it requires cutting into the dash. I have a very clean, unmolested, all original truck, and have a self imposed rule that all modifications must be able to be 100% reversible. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Thank-you! It helps that it spent the first 17 years of it's life stored indoors. They've been experimenting with salt around here lately, and it infuriates me. Fortunately I can limit the exposure, and they're currently only using it in very limited places. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using...

    Adding Power Mirror Switch

    Bump! I have a '91, and can't find a surface mount switch. I would love this feature. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Single Din Stereo With a Foldout Touchscreen

    Yeah, I have avoided putting a new stereo in for a long time, due to the looks, but, I think the technology has reached a point where I should upgrade the truck. I won't lie, my dad's '17 Silverado renewed my interest in taking care of my truck, because frankly, I can't afford 30k (or more), for...

    Single Din Stereo With a Foldout Touchscreen

    From what I can tell, with some stereos you can connect it directly to, and with others, you need the adapter. I'm not sure why someone would get crap for putting it in. It's fairly necessary for answering phone calls. My two other, much newer, vehicles have it, I'd miss it in the truck. Sent...

    lol, I suppose I could! ... Nah, I'm thinking something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y5YQZ7N/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_urhRAbPJ4HWM6 Could be a pretty fancy set-up. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Single Din Stereo With a Foldout Touchscreen

    Yeah, after some research, it looks like your set - up is the best. I think I can easily add steering wheel controls, which would be pretty cool. Thanks again for the photos. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Single Din Stereo With a Foldout Touchscreen

    Thank you very much for taking the time to share. I appreciate it. It certainly looks better than most aftermarket stereos I've seen added. What is the quality of the dash kit piece? It looks like it's not snapped together all the way at the top. How's the color match? I'll need a burgundy...

    Where they looking for the right combination of comfort, and capabilities? Half-tons typically have a smoother ride, correct? Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    UPDATE--progress on the 2500 projects.

    You have a very beautiful truck, I like it a lot! What can you tell me about those mirrors? What are the off of, and how difficult were they to stall? They look very natural on your truck, like they belong, I may want to do the same. Also; I like your front headlights & turn signals. The...

    Thank-you. I had of course washed and waxed it, right before these photos, but yes, in general, it is very clean for it's age. That doesn't mean it hasn't seen it's share of mud, snow and ice though. :-) Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Thank-you! So, did they make two different versions of 2500 trucks, each with a different GVW?

    I bought it in '08, with 15,000 miles on it. It is one of the trucks that was sent to a conversion shop, which added the fiberglass fenders/running boards, a custom front seat with wood center console and hand painted pin-stripes. It's a Canadian-built Silverado, with nearly all (if not all)...

    Single Din Stereo With a Foldout Touchscreen

    Thank you, I look forward to seeing pics. I generally keep the vents angled to the left and the right anyway, I'd imagine the bulk of the air would go around it. I want to do an install that's completely reversible, I have no interest in cutting into the dash. I have avoided a stereo upgrade...

    Single Din Stereo With a Foldout Touchscreen

    Yeah, I just used the crutchfield as an example, because it was quick and easy to find. I specifically want Android Auto/Apple Car Play functionality, and, as I understand it, the model I shared is the only one in that format, with that functionality. Amazon has it cheaper.

    Awesome, just what I like to hear. Do you have any photos? How much does it cover the A/C vents, when up? Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk
