Hello to All,
First time posting. I am replace the frame on my 1998 K1500 and replacing all the rusted/worn out parts while it is apart. I have a $4000 budget and am well within that number.
My question is exactly which forged lower control arms will fit this model? I have conflicting information, based on Hollander Interchange numbers. It seems the '99 K2500 Pickup/Suburban and the '99 Silverado 2500 pickups are different. Here are the interchange numbers I have found from hollanderparts.com:
512-01592L 1999 K2500 Pickup/Suburban Lower Control Arm, Front Left, Forged (47.89Mm Ball Joint)
512-01591R 1999 K2500 Pickup/Suburban Lower Control Arm, Front Right, Forged (47.89Mm Ball Joint)
512-01215L 1999 Silverado 2500 Lower Control Arm, Front Left
512-01516R 1999 Silverado 2500 Lower Control Arm, Front Right
It appears these forged LCA's will replace the stamped steel arms:
512-01592L - 1996-2000 K2500 Pickup/1996-1999 K2500 Suburban Left LCA
512-01591R - 1996-2000 K2500 Pickup/1996-1999 K2500 Suburban Right LCA
What changed on the 2000 Suburban and 1999 Silverado 2500? I find a lot of these at the local wrecking yards.
Please let me know if I interpret the above correctly.
I am storing my photos @ https://1998k1500framereplacement.shutterfly.com/. I use them for my photobooks, always free, ~$8.00 shipping.
Thanks,
Peter
