    Hey folks im working on a 1990 C1500 standard cab doing a complete front end rebuild. I've got all the suspension parts ready to go. Everything on the truck is original and it rides/steers/brakes like crap. So first off is the steering. I want to replace every part of the steering except for...

    What is this wire?

    I recently inherited this ‘88 Chevrolet C1500 with an L05 350sbc. It will turn and turn but will NOT fire, one thing I am stuck on is a wire I cannot for the life of me, find the other end. Maybe I’m blind, but I CANNOT find where the other end is and I’ve cut open plenty of the plastic looms...

    I have a 92 K2500 with a 305 and 3.42 gears. It is a stock truck and will be used for basic truck stuff. I burnt up my 3-4 and am looking into rebuilding it. I don't need a 600HP Extreme Heavy Duty setup. Just something that will work and that will last with regular maintenance. I have compiled...

    What should I do?

    I have a 92 K2500 with a 700R4/4L60 that lost 3rd gear. Fluid was low so I added some and it still free revs when it goes into 3rd. I am assuming the transmission is shot and I am trying to figure out a plan. The truck has 75,000 miles on it but is definitely just a beater truck. I have less...

    PS pump internals beyond hope? (pics)

    Hi everyone, 88 G20 van with a 350 I tore apart my PS pump today to re-gasket it as a little winter project. Now looking at the internals, the thrust faces of the rotor are pretty chewed up and I’m wondering if this level of wear is typical of a 30 year old Saginaw pump or if I could try my...

    Front End Refresh - Advice?

    Looking to rebuild the entire front end on my 92 C1500 because everything is shot (steering, ride quality, etc.) The steering is so bad as a matter of fact that with the truck jacked up, key unlocked, the wheel is crazy hard to turn (almost as if the tires are on the ground!) Not to mention...

    Howdy all, I have obtained a manual transmission 96 gmc k1500 stepside 4x4 that is in desperate need of a new frame.

    Novice seeking help (wiring/engine rebuild)

    Fellow GM truck enthusiasts, Some time ago I made a thread dubbed “502 Accel 3500” with a different username. I was handed down a truck that was turned down by various garages/mechanics where I live. The harness was damaged severely due to a fire/excessive heat. I thought the air-intake was a...
