    So I bought these lmc truck headlight housings for my 90 c1500, and I was hoping to maximize the light output. (Obviously led bulbs instead of halogens) but I have heard that 9012’s work better than the factory 9005’s (low beams?) and I would be more than happy to put some of them in to make my...

    Upgrading from 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton leaf springs

    Hey all, I was wondering if it would be much work to make my 1/2 ton 2wd truck be able to handle more of a payload by upgrading to 3/4 leaf springs, and what other work I may have to do. Do not have to replace current springs as they work just fine to me. Would not be using this thing as an...

    Random steel line

    I have a 90 c1500 5.7l and I found a steel line that appears to be cut off around straight above the rear axle on the drivers side, and runs basically to the firewall and then is cut off again. Appears to me to have been cut a while ago. And looks like factory routing. Vehicle runs prefect. Does...
