    83 K20 for sale.

    Honestly, I think your price is too low for my area. If you put 20k on that truck in Southeast Texas, it would probably be gone within a week. Either do an online auction with reserve like others said, or wait patiently. You'd be crazy to drop your price any lower than it already is. There are...

    Piece of _____ Liars on Craigslist!

    After finding out the winch works and discovering a bunch of extra parts behind the seat, I almost felt bad for not paying more lol.

    Genuine Leather Upholstery for a great price

    Looks like the rear seat of a crew cab GMT800 (99-06 Silverado/Sierra). The rear seat in my 2004 2500 crew cab looks nearly identical, aside from being cloth instead of vinyl.

    76 gmc maximum tire size

    If the SPID sheet is still on the driver side inner wheel well, it should tell you. However, it's possible the truck could've been regeared at some point in its life to something other than what the SPID sheet says it is. The most reliable way to confirm gear ratio, is the old fashioned way...

    76 gmc maximum tire size

    What gear ratio does that truck have? If you have high gears, you may want to change those before going dramatically larger in tire size. This isn't a requirement by any means, but it can definitely affect performance depending on what gears you currently have.

    Piece of _____ Liars on Craigslist!

    Happens to the best of us. The used car market is a complete joke right now. Yesterday's beater is today's collectable. The days of sub $2000 running beater grade squares, and sub $10k clean squares are well behind us. You can either be patient and wait for a deal, pay a premium for scrap metal...

    Piece of _____ Liars on Craigslist!

    In my experience, some of those wacky prices for rougher trucks often come down with patience and politeness. I spotted an '84 K1500 in the back yard of a guy's house that I was delivering asphalt for. We talked, and I looked at the truck. It had a busted driver side window from the neighbor...

    Genuine Leather Upholstery for a great price

    USA1 has some pretty nice seat kits too. The seller the OP posted did seem too good to be true. Oh well.

    Piece of _____ Liars on Craigslist!

    The price alone is a red flag, unless the seller is in a desperate bind for cash. Most of these sellers just take low quality pics from a distance, attack the frame with krylon, put an attractive price up and wait for the next sucker to stumble up. There's plenty that'll gladly pay that price...

    What is this device?

    Guard the whole fleet with a Saiga or VEPR.

    What is this device?

    Many 1st gen Ford Super Duty owners beg to differ. The average crackhead jacking cars at knifepoint may struggle with a third pedal, but anyone mechanically inclined enough to start a vehicle without a key, isn't going to be deterred by a marginally more difficult driving experience.

    2wd fuse panel in 4wd

    I assume they'd be the same, though there is a quite a bit of difference between the fuse panel on my '84 K1500 and '85 C10. I haven't looked at enough round eye squares to know if they'd be any different. With that said, if you're rewiring everything, you can use any fuse panel you want as long...

    6 lug conversion

    I think that's a solid idea. I'd check what gear ratio you have now though before I'd mess with the differentials. Now is the best time to change gears, if the current ratio doesn't suit your needs. Stock 14 bolt axles shafts are pretty rigid, but if you're really concerned, you can go ahead and...

    6 lug conversion

    I've always found "sleepers" entertaining. I thought about building one out of an '85 C10. There's a '70 C10 known as "Farm Truck" that's pretty entertaining to watch. It appeared on a few Street Outlaw episodes.

    6 lug conversion

    Dang, that's loads so heavy you've almost achieved a Carolina squat! It's nice to see the old workhorse still hauling. I do agree that factory brakes on 3/4 and 1 tons are pretty powerful and trying to upgrade them is like wearing a belt with suspenders. Like others said, maybe there's a reason...

    6 lug conversion

    There's been plenty of people put K20/30 axles under a K10, I guess there's no reason it can't be done the other way around. A C10 or C20 would be a simpler platform to work with for a dedicated drag strip piece, but there's no reason a 4x4 couldn't used though. I've seen a lot of put 2wd front...

    Feels like going home

    That truck is in stunningly good condition. You've done well. Good luck diagnosing the cruise control. It could be something as simple as a vacuum leak.

    6 lug conversion

    What front axle do you have? If it's a D44, you can swap the outer pieces from a 10 bolt or another 44 to go from 8 to 6 or vice versa. I have a 6 lug 10 bolt that im interested in converting to an 8, if you wish to participate in some parts trading with me. Honestly though, I'd suggest keeping...

    1977 C20 4L80E swap

    For a 4L80E to go behind a 454 and actually shift, you'll need to either do a manual valve body conversion (This effectively turns your automatic transmission into a full time semi-automatic transmission) or you can install a stand-alone shift module and retrofit a throttle position sensor to...

    Need steering column part

    Check any late '70s to to early '80s GM or AMC car in the junk yard. Those column housings appeared on A LOT of cars. Finding one should be easy if your local places have cars that old.

    What do I call it?

    Whatever the majority of it is, is what I'd call it. You can put K20 emblems and badges on it and refer to it a "K20 clone build." This is actually pretty common practice in the muscle car world. For example someone may do an engine swap, change a few body panels, and add emblems and graphics to...

    SR's 1992 Dakota

    I've always considered the back seat on extended cab trucks of all varieties to be tool storage. My dad had a Ford with the "Super cab" once. As a small child, I didn't mind it, but as an adult I now realize how cramped they really are.

    SR's 1992 Dakota

    The 1st gen Dakotas are very underrated and well-built. Those old Mopar engines will run forever too. The early to mid '90s is peak Mopar for trucks IMO.

    Cheep '74 K/10

    That's actually a pretty good price.
