    Dash swap?

    I have a 99 k1500 with passenger airbag dash and I was wondering how complicated it is to go to the dash with a cubby hole or cup holders. I have another truck with a cubby hole dash for parts that might be necessary except the dash because it's cracked too. Either are too cracked for dash pad...

    I have a 1991 Chevy c1500, originally a 4.3tbi, however I recently swapped to to a 5.7tbi junkyard engine.

    Best engine swap for 1990 gmc 5 speed manual

    I have a 1990 gmc k1500 regular cab step side which I am redoing. I picked the truck up for 3k no dents or rust. In my area I can’t find a running one without dents or rust for under 5k so I’d say it’s a good deal. I’m doing a project in it. Want to do a classic 90s truck. I’m getting it...

    95 frame, 88-91 body swap

    Leaky tcase adapter on 97 2dr Tahoe + 6.0 Iron Block + 04 4L60e + OE NP243 + 0411

    The truck is lifted 2” (cranked and aal) running 295/75/16s and 4.88 gears (I know a bit of an over kill, previously it was on 315s which ran better but those where too big and the tires would easily catch the fenders during offroad suspension cycles and get damaged as a result) this truck...

    Replacing 7.4L (L29) with 5.7L (L31)

    Hello all, I am looking to buy a 2000 K2500. If I buy a K2500 with a 7.4L, I would like to swap in a 5.7L and keep the 4L80E. Primary reason is that I need the relatively better fuel economy of the 5.7L in case I need to use the truck to commute to work. I might not be set on 4WD, so C2500 might...

    Shift Linkage for a Ford NP205 in a GMT400

    So I’ve got a 6BT/NV4500/Ford NP205 swapped into my GMT400 truck. I’m trying to figure out the best way to connect my factory floor shifter to the NP205 and figured I’d ask around to see if anyone had done this before or had an example to share.

    W/T grille swap

    Howdy y’all, so I’ve seen lots of people swapping from the w/t front end to non w/t grilles. However, I’m looking to do just the opposite. There’s something about the w/t front end that just looks timeless to me. I’ve got a 98 gmc k1500 and was wondering what all would go into the swap or if...

    NBS rear disc brakes on OBS 10 bolt

    Does anyone make adapters to put the NBS style calipers on the OBS 10 bolt 6 lug with the 10" drums? I've seen plenty of disc conversations but can't find much on the NBS brake swap. Is it easier to just swap a whole axle?
