    To buy or not to buy, for daily usage.

    my RWD 1986 is in a storage barn for winter. ... if it were a 4WD it would be rusted and gone . (previous owners seemed to have just parked it in winter, as there was a 4WD AWD to beat on). its almost 40 years old, and RWD so a nice stable mate for a square back corvette. I have driven...

    well, trailers haul heavy pallets of clean "crap" too. and then your on road beauty does not have to ride like a lumber / hay bail / firewood wagon. (loaded or unloaded)

    Multiple shock kits for k2500 suburban

    your suburban is too pretty for such farm work,.. I think I would prefer a dumping trailer to abuse. (behind a truck of any kind,...or behind a tractor that can lift and dig the weight that goes in the trailer).

    Aluminum wheels that work with stock length studs?

    I think you can go with GMC/ Chevy factory rims from 2008-2010, where they has 17" alloys, so you can fit the bigger brakes from those years on too. (those brakes can't go under a 16" factory rim though.) (but here and there people with 40-50 year old antiques may come up with a brand new...

    1986 k10 gun rack

    I remember seeing some shotguns and rifles stored on the headliner. behind the seat is pretty great too, (I just like hiding things from thieves). edit: and I spent my entire childhood riding with my dad with a camera, and in deer season with a rifle to pop a deer from the road side. (maybe...

    What Trans for a cummins swap c10?

    I think I would start by selling the C10 350 gas one to someone that wants it as is. (you don't even have a heavy duty frame there). then look at buying a one ton gmc/ chevy diesel truck, and swapping a cummins in to that. (or start liking dodge bodies and make it whole lot easier.) the...

    if in a pick N pull, or shopping catalogs I wonder if a early 1990s s10 -s15 blazer type vehicle would have such a thing (as those too had the interior hogging spare inside)
