    Can anyone tell me about this step bumper? (Aftermarket?)

    ^This. I've had this conversation with so many people, just cuz it was sold new with that bumper doesn't mean it was "factory". My '85 and our '76 were built without a rear bumper but sold "new" with a dealer installed one on it. The giveaway is if there's a small, metal tag bracket with a light...

    Front caliper upgrade?

    I've had a set on the front of my truck for ~50k miles now, they're a nice, noticeable improvement over stock IMO. Well worth it at their price point. As noted, they have better pad wear vs the big single piston and I could feel a noticeable increase in braking performance right off the bat.

    Do we have a show us your shop thread?

    Very little work gets done at home, this is the most shallow "2-car" garage I've ever seen. Plus the house is only 1200sq ft, so we have lots of junk stored in here. If it weren't for all the junk on the right side of this picture, the C10 will fit on the RH side of the garage straight in. But...

    I Spy A Cool GM Truck

    Saw this really clean Tahoe with an HD front clip and custom paint when we stopped to eat at Freddies (burger joint) on Sunday

    What Trans for a cummins swap c10?

    Tremec TR-4050 swap

    That's not the case with the TKX or the T56 Magnum, they're different than the OE versions. Idk about this trans tho

    Tremec TR-4050 swap

    That's what I'm leaning toward. 28" tall tire, so I don't wanna overshoot

    What Trans for a cummins swap c10?

    Man, I would not want to drive one of these squarebody half tons with that heavy ass lump of a cummins up front. I'd at least be putting it in a C6P 2500 or something

    Tremec TR-4050 swap

    I actually made a mistake when I ordered my T56. I ordered the close ratio one, thinking it would be beneficial over the wide ratio for my particular setup and it's not, 1st gear is way too tall. So I'm actually going deeper on the rear gears (3.90 to either 4.30 or 4.56) and gonna change 6th to...

    Tremec TR-4050 swap

    Well that's a bummer. I know these things will probably be fairly low sellers anyway but you're losing another bit of the market not catering to 2wd guys as well. Not like it's hard or even all that expensive (relatively) to come up with 1 more 1st gearset

    Can anyone ID this suspension setup?

    To add in, Mustang's in the '60s only got staggered shocks with the Hi-Po motors, regular 289 and 6cyl cars did not have staggered shocks. Seems like the Camaro was the same way for '68? And then they all got staggered shocks in '69? Can't remember

    TX87R10 rendered this thread useless

    I gotcha, I get that. I still work my '85 like a truck even though it's lowered with an LS swap and a T56. I've got helper bags specifically cuz I'm loaded alot. I know we were taking shots earlier, but my original post was sincere. The paint job is really what did it, had you left the patina...

    Wait wait wait. Honest question here, no BS. Were you looking at this truck as just a truck? As in, to use to haul and work, etc? Somebody buying it to use as a truck? Or were you looking at it as a collectible/classic vehicle? That may be where the disconnect in this conversation is

    255 vs 285 metric 33” tires on factory wheel

    I agree with @bucket I'd run the Falkens in a heartbeat. I had the AT3W on my LB7 and it did fantastic in the snow, even our nasty, slushy, wet snow. I also put a set of them on our '07 NNBS LML ECSB 4x4 at work, they've done fantastic in mud, snow, wet grass, everything. They're also quiet on...

    Need help deciding on which Front Bumper

    I'm biased since I work for AMD but I wouldn't say it if it weren't true, our bumpers are great. I have them on my '85 and am completely happy, and she's no garage queen either, got the miles and the weather to prove they hold up. That said, they're OE quality or better, but not show chrome.

    Look dude, you asked. Don't go all tough guy when we start pointing out where you messed up. So just for good measure, I went onto BAT (cuz I'm on there ALOT) and found the 2 trucks you referenced here. The blue one is a 4x4 and the white one is a lowered/hotrodded shortbed. Both are...

    Yep, unfortunately you should've taken the 12-15k when you had the chance. Putting on BAT with all those closeup pictures unfortunately is where you went wrong. Don't take this as being rude, you asked for opinions and this is what I see: It's a longbed (shortbeds regularly sell in the...

    Any experience with 2016 Silverado?

    If you like the truck and don't mind taking care of the repairs that will come, I'd say go for it since it's a 6-speed truck. It'll need lifters at some point but that's really the only big thing. If it were an 8-speed truck, I'd say hard pass. All my buddies that have bought 8-speed trucks rue...

    Tremec TR-4050 swap

    Being that all I've messed with for old trucks has been 2wd (other than the K5 I never really did much on), I had not considered all of those points. It would be fairly simple for them to offer different output spine counts. You should call them and inform them of this lol

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Oh I'm not either lol. I'm allowed to store parts in the living room short term, long term parts storage is relegated to the spare bedroom though lol. I've got a ton of NBS stuff in the spare bedroom
