    Need Recommendations for 6 lug 16 or 17x8" Steel Wheel

    I see some, but most have a lot of backspacing, in the 4-4.5" range. Stock 15x8's are about 3.6". So I'm thinking 3.75 for a 16 or 17x8 wheel would be good, even if I have to run a 1/4" spacer on a 4" BS wheel. Can anybody recommend such a wheel that they can confirm fits properly? The tire...

    4.1 mpg?

    At that kind of mileage, FiTech EFI would pay for itself rather quickly too. 4mpg seems way low to me as well.

    What size tires for 4 inch lift?

    I had a K20, years ago, with 4" and 33's. It looked good, I thought. I am fairly certain 35's would have looked better, and with some trimming, 37's. Wouldn't run those on a 44 or 10 bolt though.

    ‘86 C10 Cargo light confusion. Help!

    You'll always have 12v. This is normal. The interior lights are switched at the ground. The switches themselves are in the door jambs by the hinges. When you open the door, they pop open and ground the bulb. Simple. One of them is probably damaged. Or both of them.

    Questions about turning a Burb into a 4 door pickup

    Thanks for all the input everyone! The deal breaker here may be the inability to use a truck tailgate without having to graft on a whole truck bed, and... I genuinely don't want to have to do that. Plus, when looking closer, I saw that the ribs in the roof start behind the drivers seat, but on a...

    Questions about turning a Burb into a 4 door pickup

    Pretty sure it was here, actually. Let me see if I can find the thread. https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/suburban-to-avalanche-conversion.6366/ I'm mostly concerned about having the equipment and skills, and figuring out how to cap the bed rails.

    Questions about turning a Burb into a 4 door pickup

    Ah that would explain why one guy actually grafted on about a foot of pickup bed, with tailgate. It looked good. As much cutting as I'll be doing, that might not be a horrible route to take.

    Questions about turning a Burb into a 4 door pickup

    The goal would be something like one of these: The reason? I need a pickup bed for carrying fuel and supplies. Don't want to carry them inside, and don't want to carry them externally or on the roof. The questions I have are related to the body work involved. Cutting, alignment, and what not...

    88 Burb: Increasing Fuel Capacity

    Yep, have barn doors. I'll look for those brackets, might be a good compromise.

    88 Burb: Increasing Fuel Capacity

    Really in the end I think it'll be simpler just to carry gas cans. I was hoping somebody knew of a relatively straightforward way to build, but it's not to be.

    So, two 5g gas cans it is :D

    88 Burb: Increasing Fuel Capacity

    So, this big burb needs more range. 40 gallons is good, but I'd like to have another 10 gallons somewhere. Yes, I could carry gas cans, but if I could stuff it somewhere underneath and then pump into the 40 gallon tank as needed, that would be pretty neat. Any thoughts as to using a tank from...
