    Thinking about upgrading my control arms and sway bar components. Which manufacturers are the most reliable?

    I have a 1994 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab, and I have been hearing a lot of loud clunking and banging in my front suspension. I'm assuming it's my control arm bushings, which are welded in :confused: . My control arms are also not in great shape, so I'll have to replace them. I want to go...

I have already modified the middle 4 holes on the intake to fit the newer style TBI heads. I need to know what sizes...

    Here's my project for installing a late 70s squarebody dash

    I am installing a custom dash for my 1994 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab, as getting a fresh OEM style dash typically costs at least $500 or more. Went to a junkyard, and got my dash frame off a 1977 Chevy C-Series Truck with A/C ducts for about $77 (believe it or not) from a local Pick-n-Pull. I...

    Life on limiter is working on a steering angle kit

    This guy already makes an angle kit for 99-06 trucks. Instead of making a new kit he replaced the OBS calipers, pads, and rotor with ones from the newer gen and made so small modifications to the lower control arm and the newer style spindle. Results look promising.

    Garage custom, little bit of this and that.

    Finally starting the long resto/custom build. This is def a budget build and taking my time to build things right and clean. Will ultimately be all shaved and paint matched Bright white, on some rallies I refinished until I can get some 15/18 billets. Went with a carbed 350 to replace the...

    Pics of your custom/aftermarket front bumpers and bars

    So I've been thinking of some modifications to do to my front end, and I already decided on building my own custom grill. I'm excited to show that off in the future as I think it'll be something other owners might want to do. ANYWAY, I love the original chrome bumpers and the "low profile" they...
