    Hello All- New here with a new project!

    I'm Dan and I'm a GMT400-aholic. Now that we have that out of the way, I'm embarking on a new journey to "restore" an old truck. I got hooked on these things after not being let into prom in 2002 because I busted out a sweet parking lot donut in my uncle's 97 (still discussed 20 years later-...

    My 1989 Silverado Stepside Restoration

    Hey all, nice to meet you ! My name is Josh and I’ve just recently decided to restore a 1989 Stepside that my father’s childhood best friend used to drive daily.

    Proper Cab Emblems for 1998

    I have a 1998 K2500 ECSB in Silverado trim and I'd like to confirm if the original (now missing) cab emblems would have been the "LT" or "Silverado" ones. Thank you.

    Sal's K2500 Dana 60 Solid Axle Swap

    I've been collecting parts, trucks, and tools for some time now and can finally my SAS is in progress. I sourced a 3/4 ton frame in excellent shape and with my luck the kid didn't want to pull the 350, harness, ECU, 4l80e, or tcase. A few weeks later my friend's father pulled the motor out of...
