    Deciphering Engine Plate

    So would I be able to see it from the top of the engine or under the truck? I looked everywhere I could under the truck but can give it another go. The Mortec link didn’t provide enough detail for a noob like me. Going to keep trying!

    Thanks, that’s helpful. Here’s a few photos of the markings on the bottom/back of the engine.

    Also a few casting numbers I found easily but they aren’t on the engine block directly.

    Thanks, this is all helpful because I don’t know much about tracking this down. Here’s some more pictures of the engine.

    Spare tire: what’s a better deal?

    Appreciate all the thoughts and the advice seems to match my thinking...somewhat mixed. I think I’ll go for the “new” BFG because I’m not as worried about the theft component (famous last words).

    Spare tire: what’s a better deal?

    Good thought. The BFG would match my other tires (which are brand new from Costco).

    Spare tire: what’s a better deal?

    Good idea. BFG is 2017 and still haven’t heard on the other but I’m guessing significantly older. It was a spare on the seller’s truck when he bought it.

    Spare tire: what’s a better deal?

    Need a spare, don’t want to spend too much money on it. I’ve found two options, which is better use of money? brand new 285/75/16 BFG A/T for $100 Used 285/75/16 Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ for $25 pictures attached.

    Tail Light Help

    Thanks, that sounds like a tool I need to get. I was able to get it out by mangling the base and grabbing with pliers but I think I damaged one of the contacts in the housing (it was pressed in too far). I bent it back out but we’ll see if it stays.

    Deciphering Engine Plate

    My truck is a bit of a mutt so I’m trying to track down as much information as I can. I believe the frame and drivetrain are 78 K20 and the cab and bed are GMC 73 C20 (per VIN and title). However, an interesting wrinkle is that it is a 4x4 and has a 454 (I think) which doesn’t seem to be a...

    Bed tie downs

    Thank you! I guess that means they aren’t stock.

    Bed tie downs

    It’s on my truck and I’ve seen them on others too so I figured it was a stock part. Some of them are a little beat up so was thinking about replacing them with new ones. I was surprised I couldn’t find them via Google.

    Bed tie downs

    Does anyone know what these bed tie downs are called and where they can be purchased? Also, any idea how much they can be loaded up?
