    How much paint?

    I decided im gonna paint my truck with rustoleum safety red (close enough to victory red for me lol), still deciding on clear though. Does anyone have experience with Sherwin Williams Finish 1 urethane? Or Speedokote Acrylic Urethane? From my research I think urethanes and acrylic urethanes are...

    Worst OBS mods

    I like squarebodies a lot, they're my second favorite body style. But when OBS owners call their trucks squarebodies to sound cooler its cringe

    Worst OBS mods

    any wheel over 24 x 14 looks gay, especially on gmt400s. bullet holes/american racing/welds will always be the best looking wheel you can put on these trucks

    Worst OBS mods

    Hey guys, thought this would be a fun idea to share what we think are the worst/ugliest/most useless OBS mods and why. Ill start: - smoked headlights (looks clapped out and reduces visibility) - excessive squat (loves cousins and has additional chromosomes) - Cadillac grill swaps (just looks...

    Led gauge bulbs

    I have ebay red led's in my '96 gauge cluster. Ive had them that way for over a year with no problems. Only other thing I had to change for them to work was the bulb sockets - T10 168 twist bulb sockets. This is for 96 and up. Not sure about earlier years.

    Effect of Wider Wheel Stance on Turn Radius

    Thanks for the responses! I was thinking of doing lift spindles, which stance out the wheels about 2 inches. Would these negative effects still apply to spindles, or only to offset wheels/spacers? I can understand the latter causing increased wear and tear on suspension components, but the...

    2wd Spindle v Body Lift

    Guess my only remaining question is: does anyone have experience working on trucks with body lifts? In terms of engine and trans work, how much more annoying/easier it makes accessing them

    2wd Spindle v Body Lift

    Even though its a little more expensive, I think I'm leaning towards the spindles instead of body lift, since I need to replace ball joints anyway and I could do the spindles while I'm in there. Whereas the body lift is a whole other process and I hear its a longer install.

    2wd Spindle v Body Lift

    How's the center of gravity with 6 inches of lift? Do you need to be a lot more careful when turning compared to stock? Also would i need extended brake lines with 2in coils + 4in spindles?

    2wd Spindle v Body Lift

    Hey guys, I have a 96 C1500 with a 2in coil spring lift that I want to lift a little higher. I am considering either 4in spindles (rough country or eBay special if there are any good ones) or rough country's 3in body lift. 2 main things that will factor into my choice: -Center of gravity -Ease...

    Effect of Wider Wheel Stance on Turn Radius

    Hey guys, Im in the process of choosing my lift/wheel/tire setup for my truck, and I was wondering if having the wheels stanced out more (whether its from a spindle lift, offset, or spacers) would affect the turn radius at all (assuming I am not rubbing on anything)? I havent found the answer...

    Does anyone have experience using High Teck paint? They are one of the only brands I can find that make Victory Red, which is the color I want to paint mine.

    How much paint needed for truck paint job?

    Got it. For the price of 2k rattle cans to do the whole truck, its probably cheaper to do it with a compressor and a gun. This is what I would have done, except I don’t have an air compressor. I understand that you would need at least a 60 gal for it to be able to keep up, but is it doable with...
