    '79 Diesel Exhaust

    I have no idea if it was on the 6.2 also, but would very much appreciate a peek (and pic) if you get a hankerin for a feild trip. If i recall correctly they came out with 90deg bends.

    '79 Diesel Exhaust

    If anyone cared to click on "other posts by..." you'd see that I'm in the process fo sort of recreating my first vehicle. It was a '79 C10 Heavy Half GMC with the Olds Diesel which had been replaced with a Olds 350R Gasser. So I've found the truck I'm starting from (a '79 K10 with the right...

    Is there a way to tell how much my truck is lifted?

    Just as soon as i actually recieve the truck I'll be glad to. It's in transport to me right now. FWIW I did get word that it currently has 32x11.5x15 tires.

    Is there a way to tell how much my truck is lifted?

    I will jump on this bandwagon and ask the same, but give even less definitive pictures. Just bought this '79 GMC truck and have found some deals on wheel/tire combos ranging from 31s to 35s. I'm confident that the 35s wouldn't fit without going higher, but based on the picture can anyone tell...

    Transfer Case Info for OEM Squarebodies

    So is it as easy as pulling the front wheels & brakes and replacing the stock hubs with manual lockers? Then i can just unlock and cruise in HiLoc for normal ops? Yes, i'll still have a parasitic loss of economy but i dont mind that as much as chewing up tires and fighting 35s in a parking...

    K30 with Tahoe seats

    I've seen the bench out of a 89-98 in a 67-72 truck with little fabrication, so i'd say you're probabbly safe on dimensions - just have to deal with bracketry. Granted those years i quoted totally skip this generation, but I doubt GM would shrink the cabin just for the squares.

    '79 Interior Colors

    Interior Colors Thanks. Yes, i know the door panels are all wrong. The current owner keeps telling me that there was an "off-frame" (his words) restoration about 10 years ago. I guess "restoration" means different things in his circles. Getting the door panels back to '79 correct is...

    Transfer Case Info for OEM Squarebodies

    So, for mostly on-road use and the occasional off-road (not boulder climbing or mud pit racing) use like driving through a field to check on cows or go hunting, is there anything very wrong with the NP203? I'm in the process of bying a '79 K1500 with the full-time T-case (I assume this is...

    '79 Interior Colors

    Well, I've finally found the perfect candidate for re-creating my first truck. My real first truck was a '79 GMC Heavy Half LWB 2WD Olds 350 Diesel, which had been converted to a Olds 350R gasser. Two tone grey over red(or burgundy?) interior. My dad bought it new when I was 1 and sold it...
