short throw shifter from Core Shifters, they are worth the money for sure. I recently sold this truck to make room for more projects. and oddly enough my younger brother found a 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 he really wanted that once had blue interior, the previous owner had already began an...- LUDLOW

Oh the pedal came from my job oddly enough; I work in sanitation and the pedal was in our "recyclables" :p anyway i just modified my throttle pedal until the foot fit on there nice, my rational was if I hated it I could just pull another one from the junk yard. so I'm really not sure about those...- LUDLOW

95 K1500, crank - no start issue.
Alright just incase someone else has this issue. we used a fuel pressure test kit; and we were only getting a little over 10 pounds of pressure out of the new unit. a co-worker of mine theorized the generic replacement I purchased might have good pump with a bad sending unit, so after our ac...- LUDLOW

I used standard. I actually ordered mine from an ebay store along with whatever sound deadening/heat control mats they had, I'm not sure how much better the mass backing carpet is but my set up has worked very well.- LUDLOW

95 K1500, crank - no start issue.
Alright so yesterday I got stuck in a walmart parking lot with a crank - no start issue, the truck ran very well, no noticeable problems at all. out of no where it doesn't start, so I walked a mile to the nearest autozone and purchased a cap, rotor, ignition module, and a fuel filter. after...- LUDLOW

OC auto carpets, it did lay down smooth eventually, however it took a lot of effort. I would recommend leaving the carpet in the sun to make it more pliable.- LUDLOW

they are not, the knobs I have on there came from a mid 2000's express van. saw a youtube video where someone replaced the stock knobs with these nicer ones, went to a junk yard and found 3 of them for 5 bucks. they are an exact fit and look great.- LUDLOW

yeah man for real, the only reason this truck has floorboards is because it doesn't get driven in the winter haha she'll be nice and cozy until march at the very least. it looks like your K3500 is holding up well despite being in ohio :p- LUDLOW

I agree the cloth seats are nicer but it was hard enough finding a vinyl one without rips, took months to locate a decent one. also the previous owner smoked a ton in the cab, kept the exterior immaculate but the interior wasn't a priority. burn holes, smoke residue, ashtray came with...- LUDLOW

600 dollar S10 project
Thanks for the info, I did not know there was a difference. got the bed painted and bolted in. after strongly debating wether or not to paint the inside of the bed I decided to use the plastic bed liner to cover the red. doesn't look as good but it saves me time, money, and there's only so...- LUDLOW

600 dollar S10 project
I appreciate the offer but I'm already a little over $500 into the current engine I have and as far as transmissions go I would really like to maintain a 5 speed in this truck, if you know someone who has a good NV3500 I'd definitely be interested. got some prep work done on the bed, only has...- LUDLOW

600 dollar S10 project
it is definitely more of an eggshell color, I chose rust-oleum canvas white for my project. during the weekend I got to checkout my donor motor, from what I was told it is a 78-ish 350 with 327 heads. after taking it mostly apart my friend who's helping me told me the crank would need turned...- LUDLOW

600 dollar S10 project
hey that looks great! I never noticed the blazer grill was different from the ones on the pickup. and I'll look into the Caltracs or something similar. frame cleaned up nice! so when it comes to the paint job I don't have many options; there isn't a MAACO shop anywhere near me, the other shops...- LUDLOW

600 dollar S10 project
while it was mostly apart I started cleaning up the frame and painting it, also ordered a 2 - 3 inch lowering kit. after the steering knuckles were installed and the frame was painted I started working my way back, sanding and painting as I go.- LUDLOW

600 dollar S10 project
after driving it 50 miles home, I was honestly embarrassed. so the SUV sized car cover was quickly draped over it. now the goal was to fix up the appearance without going over budget since I still had to buy a motor, transmission, accessories, and all of the V8 swap specific parts. so I started...- LUDLOW

600 dollar S10 project
So earlier this year I had gotten really interested in doing a V8 S10 swap, watched a few build series, read some build threads, and convinced myself I could get this done with minimal time and effort despite being a total novice. so I purchased a 2.2 5 speed S10 with the intention of bolting...- LUDLOW

When I was done with the swap I tried to post in the for sale section, because I still had all of the trim, seats, dash, sun visors, etc but I haven't earned the privilege of posting there yet, so I went with craigslist.- LUDLOW
