    What is this?

    Hi, I posted this over on the build thread I started, but thought maybe I'd post it here, too. Can you tell me what I'm looking at, here? I can't see anywhere this wire was supposed to go, and I don't know how long it's been hanging around in the engine compartment. I was trying to figure out...

    What would you do, if you were me?

    thanks, everyone, for the suggestions. I see that this forum is full of hoarding enablers. :-) I've got to price out the cost of the steel for building the flatbed myself, and then compare that to the time to cut the existing one down. I should have mentioned, too, that part of my reason for...

    What would you do, if you were me?

    Yeah, I'd thought of that. My rathole is a 40 x 40 board fence. I swore to my wife that my stash would fit in there. I guess I could add on to the fence. Aaron

    What would you do, if you were me?

    So here's my dilemma: I'm starting on rehabbing my 89 V3500. It needs: Cab corners, rocker panels, all four doors, bed, and driver's side fender. I currently have two options: 1. I know a guy with a 1 ton dually single cab. Off this truck, I would have: front doors, two really nice front...

    6.2 Question

    Yeah, I was getting the impression that the 6.2's aren't a real big draw. If the price is right, I'll buy the part rig, motor or no motor. I just thought I'd see what I can do, if I end up with a running 6.2 that I probably won't have any real use for. Since they apparently get pretty good...

    6.2 Question

    All: Newbie here. I'm just getting started on doing some work on my 89 crew cab 454 Silverado. I've been looking for a parts rig, and just ran across another guy in town, who's got a GMC 1 Ton crew cab diesel. My intention had been to find a rig for body parts, and do some work on my 454 to...

    What kind of lift kit would you recommend

    You're right about the flatbeds down here. They're all over the place. I'm teaching myself how to weld, so I figured I'd just build one with a wood deck if it came to that. One of my uncles used to have a square body with a factory wood bed, I've always liked the look of those. I don't actually...

    What kind of lift kit would you recommend

    Thanks, everyone for the suggestions. I'm not looking to go real high, just enough to maybe get some 35's on it. My wife is short, I don't want to have to install multiple steps just so she can get into the cab. Though I do look forward to whistling at her, when she does :-) Mike asked some...

    What kind of lift kit would you recommend

    hi: I'm pretty new here, just getting started on rehabbing my 89 V3500. My pickup has 33" tires on it, they were there when I bought it-285/75 16's, that appear to be on 9.5" wide rims, so from what I've read, that's pushing it already, as far as how wide the tires are. If I want to put any...

    Crew cab doors and other stuff to get me started

    I've got to drive to Iowa this summer. If I haven't found any other doors by then, I'll give you a shout. I could probably strap em to the roof of my suburban. Aaron

    Crew cab doors and other stuff to get me started

    Yeah, when I was out at Ekuk for three seasons, the beach netters' trucks looked a set of big tires and a stainless steel tank, with some rust attached. :-) I nearly got into beach netting (long story why that didn't happen), so I'm glad I don't now have the temptation to use my pickup for...

    Crew cab doors and other stuff to get me started

    I don't know...back when I worked out south of Dillingham and down in Red Salmon and Seward, there were old chevys everywhere. I seem to remember the rust factor being high though. All the saltwater, I expect. Aaron

    Crew cab doors and other stuff to get me started

    thank you. I expect I'll be posting any number of additional questions in the next year or so. I'm going to be in over my head. :-)

    Crew cab doors and other stuff to get me started

    Yeah, I kinda figured fixing them would be a huge pain. LMC sells those back doors, but then you've go to supply your own innards, thus my hope that I can find some already put together. aaron

    Crew cab doors and other stuff to get me started

    Hi all, newbie here. I'm getting ready to start doing a bunch of work on my crew cab 89 3500. On the body, it needs cab corners, and I've got to do something with the doors, which have various stages of rust on them, and my weatherstripping is all rotted out. It's pretty windy in the cab.... Do...
