    Parting Out 2001 Tahoe

    I'd prefer not to ship however smaller parts are negotiable. Zip is 47802/ Terre Haute, IN. Engine and rear axle are sold. Interior is pretty rough, body is junk. Parting out a 2001 Chevy Tahoe. Truck was in a rollover accident and most body panels are unusable. Transfer Case $400 4L60e trans...

    Backup Camera Wiring

    Working on a backup cam in my 88 Burb that should run through my Kenwood stereo. It needs a backup light input to switch the radio to display the camera. Does one exist in the truck or am I stuck putting it on a toggle switch?

    Hot Rod Power Tour 2017

    Is anyone taking their square on the HRPT this year. Right now I'm planning on my Vette going and using my 88 R10 as a support vehicle to carry tools, beer and other necessities. If the Vette can’t make it then the Burb will go alone and unafraid.

    Wheel offset question

    Looking at 17x7 or 17x8 wheels for my 88 R10 burb. Emailed Jeg's and they said a 0mm offset wheel would fit my ride. I'd just like to confirm with folks that know our trucks that these wheels will fit properly. Also, a 0 offset on a 7" wide wheel would equal 3.5" backspacing, correct?

    Anyone running Ridler wheels

    Thinking of running a set of 17x7 Ridler 695's on my 88 R10 Suburban and want to see what others are running as far as backspacing and tire size.

    Thoughts on a driveline wobble

    88 Suburban 1/2 ton 2wd. It has a pretty serious wobble. It's not a vibration but an actual, makes the truck rock wobble. My first thought is carrier bearing. It doesn't happen all the time but it occurs under acceleration and while maintaining speed but worse while accelerating. I climbed under...

    Dome light override???

    Has anyone wired up a dome light override switch? I'd like to put one in my burb so I could leave the doors open without having to worry about my battery. I'm certain it's only a matter of finding the right wire and putting in a switch but I'd like to see if anyone else has done this.

    Steering Column Swap

    I'm planning to swap steering columns from my 85 C10 to my 88 R10. Do any of you smart mechanic times know of any reason why it wouldn't be a simple remove and replace job? The R10 column has an issue with the lock cylinder spinning freely from the acc position to the start position. The...

    8 ft bed in poor condition

    I have a later long bed I'd like to get rid of. It's complete to the tailgate and fuel doors. It's a dual tank bed, the wheel wells aren't bad, the bed floor is ok but it has four extra holes from a 5th wheel or something and the front panel isn't terrible. The rest is a rusty mess, including...

    Brake ID question

    I'm planning on going through the brake system on my 85 C10 LWB. After looking into parts I realize J55-Heavy Duty Brakes on the service parts ID tag in the glove box doesn't match the JB5/JD5 etc listed for replacement parts. Does anyone have any thoughts?

    Carb swap question

    I just swapped my Holley 4175 for an Edelbrock 1406 and I need some advice on the throttle cable bracket. The truck is an 85 with a 350, auto trans and cruise control. The old bracket locates the throttle cable too far forward for the Edelbrock linkage and I'd love to know what cable bracket the...

    Timing Question

    It's prob been asked before but I didn't see it after searching. My engine is a .30 over 350, stock-ish cam (no idea the size), 9-1 compression motor. Clearly the timing guide on the core support won't help since it's for the original 85 305. I just need a good starting point to keep it from...

    What is that stuff?

    I'm going to replace my whole bedside soon, does anyone know what that sealer between the bed floor and the bed side is and where it can be bought? Thanks.

    Hi

    Hello, I'm Chris from Indiana. Among other toys I'm the proud owner of an 85 C10 Silverado LB I aquired for free from a cousin. It's my 4th 73-87 Chevy. It's a work in progress and is coming along pretty well. I can't wait to get more ideas from the forum.
