Steve, my 1995 K1500 Cowboy Cadillac.

Not only have i heard good reviews of them, they are one of the cheapest tires I can buy through work. Unfortunately they had to order them directly and it took 5 months. I'm excited to try them out.

Would love to know more about what you had to do to the column to get the caddy wheel on it. Would look great in place of the bland wheel on my Express van. If I did the swap it would also be with the addition of a non-cruise turn signal switch and my cruise would be wired through the wheel. Also would repurpose the climate control switches for functions on the replacement radio. What Cadillac was that wheel off of? Your wheel would be a perfect fit for the rest of the interior on my Express.

I did detail the swap earlier in this thread. You need the newer style steering stub shaft. The wheel is out of a 2002 DeVille. If you grab the clock spring and a couple feet of the wiring harness from the DeVille, you could merge it with your turn signal switch for the cruise functions. The other buttons are resistor network style and could be used for whatever you wanted if you got an interface module.

I have begun the process of swapping to GMT800 brakes. I started gathering up years worth of parts, got some new hubs, backing plates, and hoses. I checked to see if the brake lines in front could be loosened, as that would hold everything up. They could not.

I ordered up a set of SS lines. While I was doing that, I decided since I would have to bleed everything anyway, I swapped to the 800 master and the heavy half proportioning valve.

I had intended to use GMT900 backing plates because they are only about 10 bucks a piece. Turns out the left side is discontinued. I decided to use T2xx backing plates instead. Not quite the same mounting unfortunately, but not really a problem.

They are flipped left and right, and one hole is the same. They clear the rotors well as long as they don't bend, and they are super cheap, and in production. I'm excited to get them mounted.

Got this far tonight, also made sure the backing plates will clear the wheel. They do, probably could work even with a 16" wheel.

Have you always been in Sioux Falls? I had it in my head you were in KS for some reason.
