    Please be safe folks!

    YouTube algorithms have landed this in my lap and I immediately thought of you guys and gals. I'm sure I've simply "been lucky" many times in my life by setting myself (and a buddy) up for this kind of tragedy. It's a decent video that, in my opinion, needs to be seen by everyone towing and/or 4...

    C3500 Almost No Brake Pedal.

    My '93 C3500. Master cylinder fluid level is fine. No visible leaks anywhere there, or the wheels, or on the ground. It's been hot and sunny this month, so I've been driving it daily. Last week, I noticed I have about half the brake pedal (no resistance for about half of the pedal travel before...

    C3500 '93 or '04 axle?

    Ok guys and gals, I'm looking for some opinions... First, my truck is and will always be a truck. Not a racecar, not a show queen. I love both of those things, but mine is just a pick-up truck. I'm going to be swapping in a 2004 6.0 LS and 4L80E. My truck came with the 14 bolt ff 4.10 geared...

    Steel wheels/paint removal

    Hey guys and gals! I was just given a set (4) of the 16×7 Ford 8-lug wheels off an early '90s van (so, yes, they'll fit fine). They're in really great shape, but they're battleship Grey and I want them white. I'm thinking I'm going to use a thick plastic 30 gallon barrel with 7-10 gallons of...

    Starter issues.

    Ok. When I got the truck, the starter stayed engaged a couple of times. Had to jump out like a madman and disconnect the battery. So I went to the mom and pop place here in Louisville that has been rebuilding starters and alternators out of their home garage since the late 50's. Cheapest and...

    Wrecker push bumper

    Hey guys and gals, I'm still toying with the idea of putting a big ol' push bumper on my truck down the road. Just wondering if I could find a deal on one. I'm in Kentucky, but not opposed to driving to neighboring states to get one. If you run across a '88-'98 wrecker/tow truck that has one...

    Somebody STOP me!!!

    I either need to be talked OUT of this, or possibly talked into it. It's an '82, diesel, Allison transmission, working '64 Holmes wrecker bed on it. I've seen this thing sitting in that spot for 25+ years. I saw the old fellow on his porch, so I whipped in and asked if he'd sell it. He gave me...

    Any Dragy users here?

    I bought one recently. I figured it would be more convenient than going to my local track. Anyone want to guess what an old '93 cclb, reman 5.7, 4.10 geared, nearly 5800 pound (with me in it) put down for numbers? Hint: I'm 98% sure I am faster than most pedestrians! Lmao! Barely!!!

    Local Mom & Pop Vendors

    They're a dying breed, aren't they? I'm talking about the local specialty supplier that offers higher quality product than the chain stores. In Louisville Kentucky, there are two such examples left. One is a battery refurbish company that has the cheapest battery prices in town. I have used...

    618 Syndicate = Great dude!

    Wasn't exactly a classified ad, but he offered parts for sale, and I bought them. Had a great experience and was great to meet him, so, I wanted to give him props.

    Nice looking rcsb near me

    Was in front of his/her house last week with a For Sale sign in the window. It's a '94, and asking price is $14,900. I haven't talked with the owner, nor do I know anything else about it. If anyone's fancy is tickled by this beauty, I can make contact with the owner for them.

    Hydro boost ps pump

    My C3500 power steering pump has whined since I got it. Fluid is full, but the whining is getting worse and now with some of the noises, the brake pedal fluctuates Red Head and Blue Top websites aren't ultra detailed, and rebuilding mine seems to cost more than getting one of theirs. Just...

    Which Taillights Do You Recommend?

    I'm wanting bright, safe, RED taillights. Stock look preferred, but will settle for the LED boards as long as they're actually bright. So many of them are dim and barely change from running lights to brake lights. I am going to have the big 3 kit as well, to eliminate any ground issues, btw.

    World's BLACKEST black!

    I would love to see this in person. Too bad it's incredibly delicate and not suitable for outdoor use... still incredible to see.

    Roadside Repair Kit?

    I've seen bits and pieces of this sort of thing in many threads and posts. How about in one location? What's your GMT400 equipped with for your roadside repairs? Tools (5.5mm sockets or nut driver)? Parts (spare icm)?

    '93 Cheyenne & Silverado swapping

    Ok, both trucks are '93s, blue interior, and 5.7s. Silverado has three things I'd like to have in the Cheyenne; instrument cluster with a tach, tilt column and cruise control. I'm just wondering what wiring issues I'm going to run in to, if any? Would it be simpler to swap the distributor as...

    Aftermarket Rear Defroster

    Anyone have any experience with these guys? https://frostfighter.com I'm thinking about adding it to the cavernous crew cab, along with aftermarket "add to your own existing mirrors" heated mirrors from another company. I figure it's worth a shot. Crew cabs are too damn big to wait for the...

    Should I add a 3rd brake light?

    So my Cheyenne doesn't have a cargo light, and I plan on using in bed LED strip lights for that. I'm thinking about adding a 3rd brake light assembly from the parts Tahoe. Nice touch, or waste of time? Tahoe light. .

    License plate options.

    I'm posting this here because your license plate is very much a visual part of our trucks. I value my peers opinions, so feel free to share, please. My state sucks on many levels when it comes to choices (has improved some, but not enough). Depending on the plate you choose, you either get...

    '93 3500 CCLB SRW

    Ok...Like a lot of you, I posted in Members rides first before finding this. So, I won't repeat what you already know, lol. I'm a long time fan of the GMT400, but this is my first time getting one. I'm trying to let the single headlight grille grow on me, but I've always liked the latest...

    Hello from Louisville!

    Hey folks! This is my "New" truck, a '93 Cheyenne 3500. It's a basic fleet vehicle with manual windows and locks. It does have ac and is (under-)powered by a 5.7. This 2wd has 4.10 gears and almost 300k miles on it! I just got her, and you'd think that I'm nuts if you could see how excited I am...
