    The lighting seem right just before I put it back in the garage before retiring myself.

    What's a good vehicle for off-road?

    I happen to be partial to the Jeep Cherokee's. Took a while to find a clean 2dr to build. Just the wife and I so a 2dr fits our style perfect. The straight 6cyl 4.0L is a great engine if properly maintained. Not many performance parts are available though. I'm planning a stroker motor build with...

    2000 C3500 SWD Crew Cab Restoration/Maintenance

    Started on the rear of the truck today. Fought like hell, like we all do taking the 13" x 3.25" drums off the full floating axles semi-rusted to the axle hub flanges. I have always added a smidgen of gear lube every once in a while, but low and behold both axle hub seals were leaking. I didn't...

    1996 gets 1st Makeover in 15 years...with lots of pictures

    Very impressive. Looks fantastic. Lots of blood sweat, and hopefully no tears. What year of GM truck did the seats and console come out of, and what mods were needed to secure them to the floorboard? I understand the mods required to hook up the power adjustment end of it. Lot of nice trucks...

    Rockabilly Show Lake Havasu, AZ

    The Misses and I took about an hour motorcycle ride to Lake Havasu City, AZ for a big annual car, truck, and motorcycle show. Plenty of lowered rigs, rat rods, and the like. Lots of vendors, auto related, food vendors. First time for her and I to attend since moving to this region. Quite evident...

    2000 C3500 SWD Crew Cab Restoration/Maintenance

    I forgot to mention a couple of things yesterday on the upper arms.... While apart make sure to break off the knock-outs/tabs if you will, where the upper control arm bolts go through the frame brackets. They prevent any adjustment on the alignment rack with the eccentrics and bolts. This allows...

    Nice looking truck. Sorry to see it on the ground like that. Glad it's fixed and rolling again.

    2000 C3500 SWD Crew Cab Restoration/Maintenance

    I've been very fortunate so far. It has more pressure, and noticeably idles smoother. Go figure. Time will only tell if I made a good choice.

    2000 C3500 SWD Crew Cab Restoration/Maintenance

    Yes, they do. I purchased all 4 Moog from Rock Auto. Came loaded with bushings, ball joint, castle nut, cotter pin and grease zirk. Actually, just finished up and hour ago, and heading to the alignment shop to leave it to be aligned tomorrow. Very satisfied with price, delivery, and fit. I would...

    For the Corvette guys on GMT 400 dot com

    Ah, jealous in a kind way. I guess if I had paid closer attention to the crankshaft flange between the rear main and the flywheel it could have helped me from a fupah. There are a couple of 454's out there that could fool the average Joe in to thinking there was a transplant that might had took...

    For the Corvette guys on GMT 400 dot com

    67Heaven, very jealous but more so impressed of your build. Lots of pride and sweat, along with $. It always puts a grin on my face seeing the pics of a good old Mark IV big block going together. 4 bolt mains, windage trays, aluminum heads. Nice.

    For the Corvette guys on GMT 400 dot com

    I've installed that grease collar a couple of times before I stepped away from doing them altogether. Gave my boxes and assorted shims of different thickness', spare crush collars, set up tools etc. away. Your spot on about not letting them get too far worn out so one does not end up with a pile...

    BNielsen's 2000 Chevy K3500

    X2 what Skylark said. Really nice truck, I like it. Not in that bad of shape. I hope it fires of for you and doesn't have much corlateral damage from sitting. Kudos to you for rescuing it. I know I'd like to have a diesel 4x4 like that one besides my 2wd.

    Well at least the historic Bloomington Gold Corvette show is finally returning to Bloomington, IL this year where it all began.....My hometown. I worked it countless times as part of the Official Show Sponsored Road Repair Crew. We got the attendees back on the road when they had breakdowns. Did...

    The build of "Wh4t3v3rs"

    I logged about 100 miles or so in one of those seats also....A 1/4 mile at a time though pulling Lenco shifted handles and letting out a chute.

    2000 C3500 SWD Crew Cab Restoration/Maintenance

    Thanks. You're correct on the failing after fill ups. Not on my truck, but I have replaced many on friends, relatives, and customers back in the day. The cold gasoline up out of the inground storage tanks must shock the crap out of a "near death" pump into submission.

    2000 C3500 SWD Crew Cab Restoration/Maintenance

    So far so good with the fuel pump/sender unit, and tank situation. I started the front brake overhaul. Turned the rotors with plenty of meat left on them. Packed the bearings, new seals for the hub (obviously), calipers, pads, and flushed out the brake fluid completely when bleeding out. Was...

    C3500 Forged Upper Control Arms

    Yes, I did mean an aluminum alloy for the purpose of saving weight and gaining strength. I stand corrected they are solid forgings of a tubular appearance/shape. I do have the means to remove and press in new hardware. There is a hydraulic press along the wall next to the floor drill press and...

    C3500 Forged Upper Control Arms

    Thanks for the heads up. I had tried searching a thread prior to posting but came up snake eyes. I searched that one and figured out a game plan. Thank you.

    C3500 Forged Upper Control Arms

    I have looked high and low to try to find forged alloy upper control arms that fit the C3500 series trucks. Is anyone aware who might manufacture them? I found ones from Rough Country, but they only fit 1500 series trucks. The OEM ones are tubular, which is adequate, mine lasted 143,000 miles...

    2000 GMC C/3500 Crew Cab Dually 5/7 on 22's

    Sounds like you've been busy. The interior looks to be in great shape. Hope the long block arrives soon for you. Are you planning many mods to the engine when you finish assembly and install it? Looking forward to seeing more pics as things progress.

    Broke passenger side axle again!

    Just thinking out loud here... I assume it was not an issue prior to the installation of the lift kit. Could the axle housing tube have been subject to being bent? I assume the axle slides in and bolts up as that everything is lined up. Is the wheelbase measurement exactly the same center hub...
