    Also I was asked about the tires and rims but couldn't post a pic to a PM yet, so here's one in all its curb-rubbed glory, P235/75R15 :

    Scooterwrench said: "If they did it right you won't hear much." Well you would think. I did speak to a highly rec'd guy and told him I didn't want drone or rattle the neighbors' windows but, would like a bit of a growl if I put my foot in it. He said with the stock cat / crossover use a...

    My 1990 Silverado C1500 longbed

    Wow thanks! I understand. I guess I'll stop being stubborn then (dang it lol) and keep it all stock, I might go back and redo my '93 S-10 with the 4.3 too And it did stall going into reverse yesterday. I'm hoping the TB rebuild will help. Some good news (for me), the exhaust and AC is fixed...

    My favorite car related screw up from my young years - believe it or not it IS possible to completely install the front calipers backwards (on the wrong sides) on GM B-Bodies. It took dear old dad to figure out that one :p Pete

    Found a stock GM bedliner with tailgate protector in good shape locally for $75! In already, looks pretty nice too. Found a butterfly toolbox but it's 72", haven't tried it yet but it looks like it might be a little big. Added a Moblorg 2133311 console, the kind that rests on the bench seat...

    Thanks guys! From all over the place too. I go into Toronto a few times a year, for work great people. Never been to Washington or New Zealand but would like to. DC I'll check those line for sure Komet, I hear you on the parts quality, it's terrible. I search for NOS stuff. So far I've picked...

    Hello folks, newbie here Just picked up the above recently as my new daily, single cab 350 with a 4 speed auto, pw, pl, cruise, large gas tank. 2 owners, 82k, as clean as it looks in out and under, clean looking fluids but minimal service records (tires, radiator and fuel pump). Only immediate...
