    What to do with rear end?

    Yea I’m only 26 and I’m sure this will not be the last project that I could use a sandblaster. Also an electrician so any power hookup for it would be a breeze for me. Figured it wouldn’t be a bad investment. But I’m looking to knuckle down on “the rona build” and stick to this before I start...

    Corona Build

    Thanks for the input guys! Some updates! Got the new rear end home. And ordered the 4.10 gear change kit. Now this is where I am struggling. I need to change the gears in the front to match the rear. Ideally I’d like to get a differential already with the 4.10 gears and swap it in. But I can...

    What to do with rear end?

    Got the 10 bolt out of the way! And picked up the 14 bolt yesterday. $500 Now I will be looking to get the old leaf springs and the new rear end all painted up. Any ideas on how to sand the rear end are welcome. How much is a sandblaster?

    C5 z06 cam and headers compatible ?

    I’ve got a buddy who is about to drop a bigger cam in his 2004 c5 z06 (5.7). as well as long tube headers. The stock parts are mine if I want them. So my question is how compatible are his stock cam and headers to my 99 k1500 5.7? And what exactly would the bigger cam do to my truck?

    Updates!! Thanks to the tip from dxf2x4 I’ve located a 6 lug 14 bolt 3.73 with the g80 opt. Picking it up tomorrow. Also has f44 option listed. Does that change anything? Now it sounds like the lockers quit working after a while? What would cause that , and how do you fix that? Cousin...

    Corona Build

    So here’s where Im at. Since day 1 the brakes have always been spongy and soft. Even after replacing everything. So after a little investigating found a pretty rusty brake line to the rear that I’m pretty sure had a hole in it. I figured I’d take the bed off to have easier access. Took the bed...

    What to do with rear end?

    Alright, checked that car-part.com and I have a few more around me than I thought. There all listed by mileage. Does mileage matter on these? Do all the 14 bolts come with a locker?

    What to do with rear end?

    Gotcha, and what happens if I just keep my 3.73 gears and throw 33s on it? Is a junkyard going to be the best bet for a 14 bolt?

    front end changes with 3" rcx suspension lift?

    I have a 3" rcx suspension lift kit with the rear add a leaf. After reading on here for this lift, it is my understanding the ride quality is compromised. as it puts too much stress on the front end. And wears out parts alot faster. I have not installed it yet. And can still return it. Im...

    What to do with rear end?

    Got tons of upgrades going into my 99 classic. I’ve got the bed off it currently and figured that it would be easiest to upgrade my rear end now. Just no idea what to do . I know it’s a 10 bolt. And the rpo is gt4. Have a 3” lift coming next week and plan on putting 20” wheels on it. Also tow a...
