    How to: 95-98 OBS and 99-02 NBS Steering Wheel Audio Control Install

    I have been wanting to do this upgrade to my trucks for a while now and want to try and get my hands on a tan denali wheel and bag to go with my med neutral tan (53c) interior colour but your statement has me a little concerned it might not match as well as I think it will and I might be better...

    K2500 work truck

    List of things to be done for safety (I’m sure there will be more once it gets that far but I’m repairing what I know of for now and hoping for some slack on non critical stuff found) exhaust (manifolds are cracked and it’s leaking out every joint), rear brake lines (getting new hardware all...

    K2500 work truck

    This here is my ‘99 c1500 Sierra classic that I got for $720 nicknamed burgundy beauty by my “funny guy” old coworker (other truck is white lightning) will it pass body inspection unlike many of these trucks around here that cost more? Hell yes she will! Is she pretty? Well in my eyes she is...

    K2500 work truck

    Hey guys apologies for my absence…. Too many excuses to list but I have not abandoned my project. Have even sourced a lot of parts to start building this beauty first thing in the spring. Have almost all interior panels needed for grey to medium neutral tan swap just can’t seem to find a...

    K2500 work truck

    Well it was a bit of nightmare with delivery to where it was supposed to go but I got a chance to really go through it with some light, a hammer and a decent amount of time and I’m happy to say it’s not even as bad as I thought! Outer rocker on drivers side and bed are pretty much toast but I...

    K2500 work truck

    Let’s go! She’s coming to a much better place now. I’ll take good care of it and clean it up a bit and get it back on the road with wheels and gears turning again. Soon as she’s done a bit of work and earned me another set of wheels to suit my needs then she’s going to take a rest for a full...

    Hey Everyone Ontario Canada SS here

    That's an Ontario unicorn! I saw one on the six nations reserve near brantford not long ago. Wasn’t rotted but it was rough. A warm welcome to the the site from London buddy!

    K2500 work truck

    Well the moment has finally come! Barely scraped this tow together after the seller found the ownership last minute after we both considered it lost for good…. More money out of my pocket but less headache dealing with service Ontario. Thankful for friends in low places cause if not reconnecting...

    '88 RCLB C3500 "Roscoe P. Coltrane"

    Just don’t go outside in the prairies during -40 cause the wind chill makes it more like -70…. Didn’t find it that bad in the bushier areas though when I worked around fox creek/whitecourt

    Reminds me of Alberta… it’s like Texas, but with snow!

    Thanks gmt400 for all your help! Build thread to come

    I believe I got it all figured out but the way to do it here that I got from the lady at the service office is to document a reasonable attempt to contact the registered owner and acquire ownership through them with your existing bill of sale as proof of purchase. If you can not contact them...

    '88 RCLB C3500 "Roscoe P. Coltrane"

    I hope your shoulder is doing better! I was fresh into recovery from bone graft surgery on my rotator cuff around the time of this update and was immobilized in my right arm for a couple months. I’m so glad I finally went and got the surgery though cause now I don’t have to worry about random...

    '88 RCLB C3500 "Roscoe P. Coltrane"

    It’s definitely nice to see that there’s parts of North America where the bodies of these trucks survive. I think it’s something to smile about rather than cry. I’d cry if there were just as many trucks down south that got scrapped due to rot as the north

    98 GMC Crew Cab Dually

    Fair enough… squares have never had my attention. Not cause I don’t think that they’re beautiful body styles but mainly because by my time they were anything but budget friendly trucks to buy or build and acquire parts for

    '88 RCLB C3500 "Roscoe P. Coltrane"

    My buddy saw a rat in bassano years back. The health department sent in a squad to spend days looking to exterminate it. They are serious about rodent free to protect their crops in Alberta and I love it!

    98 GMC Crew Cab Dually

    Saw this in my local marketplace today and immediately made me think about your truck. Not sure if he dually swapped a 3/4 or just hit the wrong number key when posting though. Honestly price wise up here is a steal considering clean, restored square bodies typically go for $15,000CAD or more. I...

    Thanks gmt400 for all your help! Build thread to come

    I feel an overwhelming sense of accomplishment! I decided to immediately get on trying to track down the only registered owner of the truck. I figured Facebook was the way to go. Only found one person with that name that lived in Canada but nothing useful to find out where. Sent a message and...

    5.7 vortec or 5.3LS?

    I’ll have to look into the legalities of that here as I live in a California like part of Canada politically. They did eventually scrap the emissions testing and have made some aspects of vehicle ownership cheaper in the last few years under ford government (the infamous crack smoking mayor of...

    Ok quick update. I’m glad I got too tired and scrapped the idea of starting the build thread (in the right spot) and decided to wait until I picked up the truck to begin that journey and conversation on here. I definitely want it documented and shared in this community for many reasons and my...

    Yea I can only imagine what those guys must make for their machine investments, tools and vast knowledge of the engines as well as all their proper dimensions. To be a gear head is one thing but to be a gear head/machinist/electrical engineer/computer engineer is impressive. Cause really why...
