Pics of K2500 with F250 Accuride 16x7 Steelies
I hear ya! The PYO's were sweet! But polished wasn't going to work...and all of them in our area(rust belt) are heavily corroded... I had considered an aftermarket wheel...but most of them have too much positive offset and hang out more than I like...at least at this height. I'm starting to...- andyk1500

Ha! Yeah, I think I posted these back in 2012....? Truck was a little cleaner then, no rust at all... I loved the PYO's but I bought them cheap back then(PYO's were HOT in '12!) cause the clear was trashed. I stripped & polished them...but they were junk in a few years from lack of...- andyk1500

NICE! I may even have some of those caps in "inventory"... I did try a chrome center cap on (it was trimmed to fit PYO's, so it slightly shallower) Its not bad looking either. Guess when I'm done having Pop run capless, I've got lots of stuff to try!(I'm curious if he will even notice if the...- andyk1500

You may have noticed I'm running "capless" wheels. I find the dish looks deeper and I like the look. To clean it up I made "centers" for the spacers. I bought round stainless sheet, slit the edges and drove them into the spacer. For the front, I found that NBS 3/4 ton dust caps were JUST...- andyk1500

Couple of other things... On my NBS truck I really liked my shifter with 4th gen Camaro knob on it. So I grabbed a stick from the junkyard and made one for this. The knobs aren't removable, so you have to cut it off I drilled out the threads on the Camaro knob and then used a die grinder to...- andyk1500

I was looking for a project Reg-Cab, V8, Manual 4x4 to buy & fix up when I realized...I can just tinker on Dads '95 K2500! I love my Dad, but this truck is just his motorized wheel barrow that gets ZERO love...He thinks I'm CrAzY for wanting to clean on it! I had polished wheels on it, but that...- andyk1500

Dad's K2500 minibuild PYO's, cab markers, cam & more
Yep! Dad and I like the regular cab long boxes!! We've had to SEARCH for clean trucks..... Just as you suggested...everything is rotten locally to us!! Heck, my '06 RCLB is starting to show signs of rust on the doors/tailgate and frame.... I just had it Krown rust proofed this year....but its...- andyk1500

Dad's K2500 minibuild PYO's, cab markers, cam & more
Thanks guys!! I've love to do an LS swap or build him a stout motor...but I just don't have enough time.... Honestly, the vortec swap is just on the edge of adding to much complexity to bother with when another LO5 is a direct plug and play. You have no idea how heart broken I am over this...- andyk1500

Dad's K2500 minibuild PYO's, cab markers, cam & more
Unfortunately....there has been a huge DISASTER!!!!! I ran out of time to change the oil cooler lines on Dad’s K2500 that I just swapped the cam in and tuned, so I told him to have the shop do it while it was there for inspection. On the way home from the shop, he lost oil pressure, didn’t...- andyk1500

I kept track of most of the costs....I think I ate a couple hundred in little stupid things just because the bill was getting a little ridiculous for a simple cam swap! Man stuff gets expensive quick!! summit; cam/oil/fuel pressure gauge/flat base air cleaner 300.73 rock auto...- andyk1500

Dad's K2500 minibuild PYO's, cab markers, cam & more
After a while....I just couldn't stand how underpowered this thing was! I decided to do some engine upgrades. In the past I had used a small comp cam and with a lot of screwing around, got it to work OK with the TBI. In case you don't know, GM TBI is a speed density system and is extremely...- andyk1500

Dad's K2500 minibuild PYO's, cab markers, cam & more
I posted this over on GMFS, so some of you guys might have already seen this! About two years ago, I had been collecting pieces for a little while to do a minibuild on Dad's '95 K2500. I always have to thank my friend in Philly for finding it for us! In the rust belt, there just aren't any...- andyk1500
