Custom rear bumpers *pics please*
Not exactly off road worthy, but the GMT-800 bumpers have an updated look. And for $45-55 a piece ...incl. the brackets...at the pick-a-part they are cheap enough to smash and replace over and over.- BlK89EXLB

Engine swap
I have a '90 K3500 Chevy 350/400 that I'd like to swap in a stock TBI 454 into to make a tough farm truck out of. The K3500 has no A/C, no cruise, manual heater controls, locks, and windows. Will the TBI 454 swap right in or will the ECM affect the effectiveness of the fuel injection (SBC to...- BlK89EXLB

Finally! GMT800 style towing mirrors on GMT400.
There is a little vibration, I have a mild cam so the lope at idle made the OEM mirrors vibrate a little, I don't think I'll mind it. If it gets worse I'll take them apart and do some re-engineering The difference in view is worth it. Not even in the same ballpark. Esp. with a dually, half...- BlK89EXLB

Fab'd up a center console for the truck. 2x 6" Pioneer 250W 2 ways, running off a 500W pioneer amp. The center console lines up flush with the bottom of the radio. It looks crooked bc I just have it sitting in there, Next stop, finishing the rear cab trim, "customizing" the rear storage cubby...- BlK89EXLB

-- I know this bench was a score, I like the bench, and may just make a slip on cover for it. If I go buckets it's going in another truck I'm fixing up. However, I've got a friend who inherited his dads junkyard. He has 15-20 GMT400s he's letting me pick over before he scraps everything. I've...- BlK89EXLB

In the never ending process of improving my '92 Cab/Chassis K3500 I've begun tackling the super basic vinyl W/T interior...( no power locks, windows, mirrors, no ac and manual vent / heat controls) For a temporary fix I added the carpets and cloth bench out of a rusted out Silverado trim truck...- BlK89EXLB

Is This Normal?
Parentnoia--- #1 a surge is normal, that's a little higher than I've seen on a 350, but it's been awhile since I drove a stock Vortec 5.7 The engine is under a slight load and releasing into park releases that. like pulling on something and the strap comes loose, you'll surge ahead. #2 -...- BlK89EXLB

Hoping for some better luck with this one....
A little nicer paint than the black truck... Looking into either a 4" Tough Country lift, or a 3" BL and some 1/4" wheel spacers so I can run 33s... Then it'll sit like a 1-ton 4x4 dually should. Adding cab lights, clear marker and clearance lights, and custom front and rear bumpers.- BlK89EXLB

Well after throwing in the towel on the '89 due to outside issues, and lack of time I started looking for a little more complete truck and found this sweetheart. It's a 1994, K3500 dually, 68,000 miles. Guy used it to tow a race car trailer, and thats it. Paint is less than a year old...- BlK89EXLB

Sounds like a nice plan ya got there, I'm rooting for the 454. I'm a bit partial to 'em got a '94 3500HD and '91 2500 'Burban with TBI 454s... I love my gas guzzling, cam crushing, 4L60 eating SOBs. no SBC can replicate the sound of a BBC with headers and duals.. If they weren't so expensive to...- BlK89EXLB

thZ71 - dang i'm jealous of that new truck, make it a long bed in navy blue on 37s and Classic IIs and I'd be in heaven. Really tearing into mine, becoming a cheap-resto of sorts.

Swapping my '89 Chevy grill for a '97 GMC grill ( always loved the look, and all the other trucks in the family are GMC) I have quad lights, and I thought I wanted composites, but it has a different look to it with the quads in a '94+ grill... I know composites have better light output with the...- BlK89EXLB

Weather is finally cooperating so it's full steam ahead here at monster garage.. Got my core support painted & sanded, re-loomed all the wiring, fixed a melted socket for my parking lamps. Figured I'd go ahead and do the swap to a newer style GMC grill w/ the composite lights. ---...- BlK89EXLB

one step ahead, and two back.. This truck seems to be a little too attached to me, had a set back and blew my knee out in PT, and the same day the truck died. started burning oil like mad and then made a very bad noise like it was trying to self clearance itself. Pulled the motor, and...- BlK89EXLB
