Here's the site I use to find some of the bulb sizes I need: http://www.modifiedlife.com/1996-chevrolet-suburban-car-light-bulb-size-information/
Just to let you know, this is for my 1996 Suburban, might need to change it depending on your year.
http://www.modifiedlife.com/1998-chevrolet-pickup-car-light-bulb-sizes-guide/

Doubt that will help but it's a good reference for most all bulbs. There are a ton of people on here that I have done the LED swap and they mention bulb size. May have to do a little digging or DM'ing.

EDIT: crap someone beat me to it. Still, hope you find what you need


Had luck figuring out which LEDs to use from this page:

Gonna have to remember that quick fix! My headliner sags a bit at this point, but not enough to hit my head yet. When it finally does, I've already got plenty of neodymium magnets that I pulled out of crapped-out hard drives!

Three years since I made that post... They're still up there. :lol: Hasn't made it to the top of the list yet.

Hard drive magnets might work, but I ordered some really gnarly neodymium disc magnets from China via eBay. They're about 1/4" thick and 1" diameter. I wanted something that had enough power to grab the inner roof tightly through the thick headliner material. Think I got a stack of 10 of them for a few dollars. You have to be really careful separating them from the stack at first, if you accidentally lose your grip and they smack each other they'll shatter into a million pieces. Once you stick them to something they're not going anywhere, though.

stupid interior question. I am a Dumbass and was trying to swap in power windows in my manual truck i bought a 98 yukon and a 96 k1500 for a really good price now the part where im a dumbass the truck dash harness got cut out of anger now heres the question can i use the dash harness from the yukon in the truck? The truck im swapping the dash harness into is a 98 k1500 cheyenne the original dash harness does not work with power windows and the horn will not stop going off. i bought both the yukon and 96 to use as parts. was thinking of doing a 350 swap with the engine from the yukon seeing as the trans is blown. and i wanted to use the truck to do the power swap but me in my dumb ass mind said oh im not going to need the dash harness nope i need it. the truck had no engine and trans just a shell

Since this thread is "so" long, it was a little tough to scan it all ... so hope this wasn't discussed earlier .... but anyway, I've got a 1995 K1500 with the bucket seats .... a few years ago, the front attach points on the drivers side both broke (a short time apart) ... it now just pivots on the rear attach points. So, I've got a very stylish office chair box behind my seat so I don't end up in the back seat. ;-) Has anyone else had this happen? Any fixes? Or do I just need to find a seat in a salvage yard? I just need to replace the pedestal part, I want to keep my original seat. Been a GREAT truck ... I now have 405k mi. on it ... this pic was taken in Jan. when it rolled over 400k.

I have a 1995 C1500 Silverado also. My drivers seat had broken loose on the left side as well prior to my purchase. This is evidently a fairly common problem on 1995 Trucks per my mechanic. He owned a 1995 Tahoe that had the same problem. He was able to re-weld the frame in the truck and it fixed the problem. Haven't had a problem with it for over 2 years now. We did have to replace the power motor switches sourced from the pick and pull. Up until then, I was using a box behind the seat to keep from falling backwards in the seat! Best of luck!

I have a 1990 GMC Sierra, when I roll the window up or down it gets stuck at a certain point and I have to push it with my hand then it will keep going. Any idea if this is the motor or something else? Wanna be sure which part to get
