    Switching to aluminum wheels

    I just picked up a set of factory aluminum wheels for my ‘87 K5. A friend told me that if I use the original lug nuts that came with the steel wheels, they will “eat” into the aluminum because the nuts shoulder is too small.

    K5 Removable Top Question

    As far as I know the tops are the same. Slider or one piece glass was just a matter of what optional equipment the truck had.

    Hello from Arkansas

    Hi everyone. I recently bought a 1987 K5. I have wanted one ever since I was in high school. The engine has been replaced by the previous owner with one out of a 91 pickup and it has the original 700R4. It runs and drives but has minor rust issues. The suspension is stock which is one of the...
