    Greetings all, I hope this the right section for this thread. I’m removing the ext cab on my ‘93 k3500. I was busy loosening the 4wd selector to ensure that there is nothing in the form of a linkage holding the transfer case to the cab. Can anyone clarify this, as i’m having trouble...

    Frame Swap

    Howdy all, I have obtained a manual transmission 96 gmc k1500 stepside 4x4 that is in desperate need of a new frame. I am a newbie when it comes to repairing, let alone rebuilding vehicles, so I am still learning. I need some advice on the steps I'd go about to go from a fully built truck in one...

    95 stepside fender to frame clearance

    I got a inside frame 4 link in the rear on my 95 stepside and am trying to find out what the clearance is between the frame and my fenders back there for tires. I have my eyes on some 355s but am unsure if they'll fit with a stock frame. Any help? I might do some measurements with some string...

    1995 C1500 from scratch

    I've officially begun my project. I got this frame originally upon which to rebuild my existing truck, but it looks like I will be building a whole new one! Too many changes I want to do and yet I want my truck unsullied, so two there must be. This frame is a 1991, but I will be building a 1995...

    Suburban body to P/U frame swap

    I've got a 92 suburban which is 2wd, and a 94 k2500 that has a shot body and solid frame. Am I able to just slide the suburban body on the ext cab, long bed frame? Both wheelbases are 131.5 inches. I know I need to cut holes for shifter and such, but will I need custom mounts? Are the frames the...
