    And he paid a bunch of money for this thing.

    Yeah, I got Chevy clear side marker lights for my GMC grille. Thought it would be same, right. Wrong! Even after trimming the inside to fit better it looked wrong. I have a 95 gmc.

    Chopped Cab

    It would be cool look to chop the top of an obs truck. I had put a targa top on my mini truck back in the day. My friends either had t-tops of convertible top. They had some kits back in the day for these mini trucks. On my truck, I had to shim under the body to get the doors and top to align...

    TBI 454 idle problem

    Curious where you got the fuel psi spec. Most other manuals i see say it should be 9-13 psi. I have a 95 c3500 with 7.4 L. I rebuilt the tbi. Removed the factory set screw and installed my own screw. Turned on the key and got 22 psi, I then backed the screw out until it had no tension. I got 20...

    $600 2000 C3500 CCLB

    That sounds like a good idea. Cause most the screws are exposed to the elements from going through the floor pan. I'm to finding that some of the ones I took out are rusted from the bottom. Truck came from up north. Haven't tried taking many of the screws out from the interior. But the ones I...
