    Fuel Pump Whining?

    During Engine idle, between the cab and bed (from the top) I can hear a whining sound. It's loud enough to hear from about 10ft away. I have a video of it for the audio but the site doesn’t allow video uploads. I have a 5.3L LM7 with external fuel pump system mounted to the inner frame. Walbro...

    1983 GMC Replacement Grill Option

    Since apparently the 1983 GMC grill with GMC logo is seemingly impossible to find, I was able to locate this grill on the Holley website. It connected perfectly like the previous one I had. Just wanted to share, in case anyone else is looking for other options...

    Spindle Contacts Wheel

My only option is to grind on the spindle or control arm? (Or buy 16”+ rims) curious what others have...

Upon attempting to remove the rotor, I found the it to only be loose, without actually sliding off the spline as it should. I’ve used rubber mallets, pried on it, and no luck. Any suggestions on...

    Suspension Upgrades 2WD

    Does anyone have recommendations for suspension upgrades for 2wd trucks? I'd like to have a newer truck feel/ride when going down the highway at 70mph+. Right now everything is stock. I'd like it to not feel so squirrely. TIA!

    Vacuum Leak???

    350/TH350 with Holley 600cfm. From 60mph and on it tends to flat line. The idle rpm (no tach installed) seems pretty low, rough and eventually dies at times when in gear with the brakes applied. I took to a local shop that does quite a bit of custom engine builds and they tuned the carb with a...

    Lower Rear Interior Panels

    Curious if anyone knows of a place to order interior panels that would be lower rear area? Sort of behind the seat but more so to cover the lower inner corners of the cab? All I am finding is for around the windows and the pillar area. Any help greatly appreciated!

    1983 Short Bed

    Recently picked up a strong running short bed GMC out here in West Texas. Since the existing 350/TH350 runs good, I will start from the ground up and replace suspension bushings, springs, probably get pieces powder coated, also upgrade exterior trim pieces and interior. Just got new tires put...
