I'm Awesome
Hi everybody
Great forum and I have enjoyed reading the input from people about our trucks
I have recently purchased a 1996 K1500 Burb' with 87k miles and a rancho lift kit installed. It was imported here from Japan end of last year. According to the paperwork it left the US about 2001.
I'm trying to comply it at the moment (red-tape gubbermint policy bs = plates, tax and less $ in my wallet
) and they have a huge issue with the lift as it incorporates a modified centre link. They simply do not allow a modified steering setup, so I have to remove the entire lift kit to have the vehicle pass compliance - sucks but that is life sometimes.
There are not many of these vehicles here in NZ, so I am having trouble finding a front diff mount bracket GM part#15592508 - The part was removed when the lift kit was installed and I need it to return it to stock. The part is not available any more from GM and none of our wrecker yards (junkyards or pick n pull yards) have any donor vehicles.
Could someone please recommend a junkyard or similar (google isnt that friendly, nothing on ebay/amazon) that I could email to try and find this almost unobtainium part - unless someone has one in their garage and is willing to part with it for $.
I'll take some pics when the weather breaks here (middle of winter atm) and will start a build thread as well in the near future.
