    GMT400 2WD Lift Guide.

    So what lift are you running here? 4” spindle and nothing on the rear. This is the exact stance I am wanting on my truck.

    1998 C2500 Period Correct Daily Driver “Heavy Duty Judy”

    They are the wheels off the next generation 2500 trucks. To my knowledge they didn’t offer aluminum wheels until the next gen as a factory option. So I am claiming period correct by virtue of them being a couple years newer and being a stock option that would have been readily available to...

    1998 C2500 Period Correct Daily Driver “Heavy Duty Judy”

    Update today! New tie rods, idler bracket and arm, center link installed to help with the “Dukes of Hazzard” style steering. Still a bit of slack but nothing like it was before! I am gonna check and see if I can adjust the steering gear tomorrow and get the las bit of slop gone. Anyone have...

    1998 C2500 Period Correct Daily Driver “Heavy Duty Judy”

    Your right, there isnt much to build here, more of a re-arrange. I have the typical steering slop to figure out. And I really do want to get more altitude on the front. I know its not a K2500, but I want to make it have that stance if possible, without having to go buy a K2500 (which I know...

    1998 C2500 Period Correct Daily Driver “Heavy Duty Judy”

    265/75/16 General Grabbers because I could not find any BFG All Terrains. They are a good substitute in my opinion…. The truck looks great but could use more altitude in the front end. Lift spindles seem to be the best option if you ask me, but I am only finding them in a 4” lift, not sure I...

    1998 C2500 Period Correct Daily Driver “Heavy Duty Judy”

    Bought some PY0 wheels off a dude parting out a k2500 suburban for $100, including giving him my steely wheels with 17 year old tires on them. I know they aren’t from 98, but they should have been! I would have bought some ASAP back in the day as well.

    1998 C2500 Period Correct Daily Driver “Heavy Duty Judy”

    So I want to build a “period correct” daily driver out of a super clean 5.7 vortec, 115,000 mile, 98 C2500. The idea here is make it look like it still belongs to the time period it came from, but make it look nice. The old 2wd 2500’s were all steely wheeled work horses that weren’t built with...

    Just picked this beauty up this weekend And I am so excited! 1998 C2500 Extended Cab LB with 116K on it. Garage kept, “garden truck” that mainly hauled pinestraw and mulch most of its life. I am trying to get to know the truck and fix anything mechanical first. But I am joining this site to...
