    My son’s first truck - ‘99 K1500 Z71

    I cleaned up everything and painted the intake basedingy alternator and power steering brackets black. It ended up looking pretty good.

    My son’s first truck - ‘99 K1500 Z71

    I haven’t had time to post a lot lately, but a few weeks ago my sing was driving home and the intake gasket blew on his truck, resulting in it overheating and cracking the passenger side head. This was my first time tearing into a Vortec engine, and realizing the dumb stuff that GM’s engimanures...

    Stock muffler is to quite.

    They are the factory tailpipes, I just cleaned them up, painted them, and reused them.

    Taillights are out

    Does anyone have a picture of where the ground is on the rear? My taillights in my ‘91 started having the same issue last night, but I couldn’t see a ground wire at the rear with my flashlight (I didn’t really know where to look). I’m going to try to fix it this evening, but it will it will be...

    I finally found me another GMT400!

    My youngest daughter and I put a few “miles” on some of those carburetors today. I showed her exactly why the Q-jet on my ‘72 C-10 goes Woooooooo!! when you floor it! :)

    I finally found me another GMT400!

    No, it’s perfect. I did look it over closely! It’s got a few spots where the raw aluminum has been handled, but that’s going to happen as soon as it’s only the engine and running anyway. IDK, if you’ve ever been in one of Summit’s retail locations, but they have thousands of parts on display...

    My side trim came in today. I’ve got to take some measurements and get it cut up.

    I finally found me another GMT400!

    I went to Summit Racing today get some stuff for another project, and while perusing the clearance items, I stumbled upon a new display Edelbrock Performer TBI intake on clearance for $220! This intake retails for $494.95 from Summit now. It was a no brainer to grab it for that price!

    Interior swap

    If you look at the first picture below, you can see the power ‘91 door. In the second picture you can see the ‘97 door with the newer style door handle and manual regulator. What I ended doing was swapping out the inner door panel and handle and lock rod out of the ‘91 door and then replaced the...

    Interior swap

    I can tell you first hand that they will fit. I put a ‘97 door on my ‘91, but I did swap the inner black steel panel and the interior door handle and door lock rods out of my ‘91 door to the ‘97 door. I ran around in the truck for a few weeks with ‘97 “guts” still in the door before I swapped...

    Basket case ‘94 K2500

    I’d love to have my factory stereo converted to Bluetooth. Bluetooth is the only thing I miss when driving my K2500 vs driving my 2015 Silverado!

    I finally found me another GMT400!

    I used Ace Rust Stop enamel. I’ve used for years with great success. I pressure washed and wire brushed the frame to remove crud and surface rust.

    I finally found me another GMT400!

    You may be correct. This cargo lens was a GM part, and came in a bag from a country of origin I’ve never heard of..:)

    That cargo light lens came in today, so I popped it on there. The ol girl looks nice out in the wild with the fresh new lenses!

    I finally found me another GMT400!

    I’m curious to see how these hold up. I still have the originals for my truck and my sons. We did his a little over a year ago, and they still look good so far. If these crap out in short order, I’ll probably try to polish the originals as well.

    Thanks so much! You gotta at least let me at least pay shipping though!

    I finally found me another GMT400!

    I could use a set of ‘94 - ‘98 ones for my son’s truck, but I have bought ones for my truck.
