    1988 C1500 Silverado

    I am about to finally get the POS registered, I just did a tune up on it, and fixed it up a bit more. It shifts great, and is almost ready for a cross-country road trip (I might take it storm chasing). Instead of buying the rust patch panels, I decided that I'll wait until my local...

    8.1 Vortec 496 Gas Or 5.9 Cummins Diesel For A 1983 C20 4 Door Dually With A Turbo 400 3 Speed Auto

    Maybe you should rebuild the 454 and stroke it to a 489 or maybe get a 502. That would probably be the cheapest option if you want a bigger motor than the 454.

    Saginaw 3spd OD Transmission

    I've been looking for one of these to put into my '74 GMC with a 3 on the tree. After failing to buy one from a friend before he sold it, I decided to reach out to you guys. It doesn't have to be the whole trans, it could just be the Overdrive unit itself. I would also consider an earlier non...

    1988 C1500 Silverado

    I didn't have to replace the pump after all, it was just the god damn fuse. It looked good, but you know how old fuses are, they can crack internally from all the heat cycles and be intermittent. The truck starts right up now. Now time to get it road worthy. My biggest problem, currently, is...

    R-12 refridgerant to 134

    Some say that if you flush the system, you can fill it up with 134a/ester oil, and it will work, but other problems may arise.

    1988 C1500 Silverado

    Over the weekend, drove about two hours (in the '74) to buy a good used th700r4 for my '88. It came from an '88 Corvette C4 and fit into the truck almost perfectly. After I had everything hooked up (TV cable, Cooler lines EXC). I took it on a test drive and it shifted through all of the gears...

    Missing vin on k10 can they be swapped over from a parts truck with most of the parts?

    It can be argued that the vin is the truck as far as the state knows. It is unfortunately illegal to drill out the two little rivets holding it on, so what if you just cut "the truck" off the rest of the. body. That little piece of sheet metal with the vin riveted to it is the truck, so you...

    Missing vin on k10 can they be swapped over from a parts truck with most of the parts?

    I think it would be legal if you cut the sheet metal around the vin plate, and rewelded another truck onto it. You remove the the cab and everything around the vin plate and install a new truck underneath it. If they say thats illegal, they are basically saying that its illegal to change any...

    I just found this one halarious. I offered him $25 bucks for it, but he hasn't gotten back to me.

    1988 C1500 Silverado

    I got the trans out, and had a few issues. Since I rounded off a torque converter bolt, I just said screw it and pulled it out without the converter (I'll get it out later). Now just to rebuild/replace the trans.

    I made it home anyway.

    How many times would he have had to fill the washer tank with gas? Those tanks hold less than a gallon, and a Big Block (ESPECIALLY A 502) is not too fuel efficient. That reminds me of one of my friends who drives a death trap Jeep YJ. It has no floors left, the frame is pretty rusty in the...

    Options for beds - aftermarket, used, new, substitutions

    Could I have it? I live somewhat near you?

    I made it home anyway.

    You guys won't believe how long I drove on these horrible dryrotted, nonmatching tires. I bet the guy who sold it to me put them on just to get it rolling, not to really drive around on. Regaurdless, I got the title transfered and the truck registered. It is not like I had money to for...

    What is the worst body work you've seen or done?

    I did the other side with somenolder license plates I just picked up at a flea market. I kinda feel bad for cutting them up, but it's worth it.

    Oh really? This is after a coat of wax.

    I must be out of it, I meant to say past tense.

    I made it home anyway.

    I had a similar thing happen with my truck, though the floors wern't completely gone, there were some big 'drain holes.' Anyways, I was driving down a country highway on my way home after storm chasing. All of a sudden, I hit a massive flash flood under an overpass. The only way to describe...

    1988 C1500 Silverado

    I was about to order all the patch panels and do the body right . . . Then I found some old license plates . . . I just figured out the look I to go for with this truck. Now it just needs a Trans.

    What is the worst body work you've seen or done?

    The clear coat is long gone, and the paint underneath has patinaed (Plural form of Patina?) I think it looks cool, also the roof is just scale).

    What is the worst body work you've seen or done?

    I just did this to my '88 C1500. This thing has killer patina on the hood, so I don't want to do a full paint job. I'm going to get some more plates to do the rockers (I'll probably just install some slip rockers and screw the plates over them since there are almost no rockers left.

    1988 C1500 Silverado

    I was actually thinking of trying to replace the 3rd/4th clutch packs myself (doesn't look too difficult) Though automatic transmissions are a bit intimidating to me, I think I could probably do it. I'll probably end up getting a used one off craigslist though.

    1988 C1500 Silverado

    Though I need another vehicle like I need a hole in my head, I couldn't pass up this 1988 Chevrolet C1500 Silversdo trim truck. It has about 238,500 miles on it and one big issue. Trans has no 3rd/4th gear. Despite this, the previous 20 year owner (Local guy I know) has driven it around as...
