    LED dash light replacements

    I replaced my dash lights a while back with LED replacements, but they aren't anywhere near bright enough. (I went with a red color). What kind of LED bulbs have you guys used that were bright enough?

    My k5 is going to get repainted. I'm planning to go back with Yuba gold. Does anyone have some examples of yuba gold, or other shades that were offered by the factory in the 70's and 80s?

    Rear Splash Panel

    I've been unable to find a vendor the reproduces them. I find things that look similar, but then realized they're the "back" of the front wheel houses.

    Rear Splash Panel

    I have my '87 K5 at the bodyshop. He has recently restored two 73-75 blazers and he showed me a panel at the rear of the back inner wheel wells. They bold to the very back of the wheel wells and hang down like a splash guard. My blazer is missing these panels. It has the holes for them. In...

    Which axles to buy?

    OK, I think I may have figured out the confusion, and it's cause is on account of I'm an idiot. This is a 6 lug, not a 5 lug. I haven't driven the truck in many years and it's in my friends shop while we get it back in shape. I had thought it was a 5 lug. I went over tonight to get some...

    I'm not sure I understand. I've had this 12 bolt rear end in my K5 since 2006. I already have new ring and pinion, carrier, install kit... I have everything, except when we got inside of it, the axles need to be replaced. I just need new axles for the rear housing. When I go to look them up...

    Which axles to buy?

    This rear end originally came out of a Chevrolet Truck, but I do not know the year. Are there any identifying markings on the housing anywhere that would let me know exactly what type of axles, or what type of truck this came out of? Anything to point me in the right direction?

    1987 K5 Blazer: 3" tuff country springs front and rear, 33x12.50 tires. I recently had a lot of work done to the front end on my '87 K5 due to the sloopy steering. All new ball joints, u-joints, sway bar bushings. A new steering box from RedHeadSteering, and also replaced the steering shaft...

    1987 K5 4x4. 12 bolt 1/2 rear end, stock front. 3" lift w/33 12.50s. I'm going to be changing the gears in my K5. I'm curious about your recommendations for what brand gears. I've used Yukon in the past in an automobile and they seem to be good, but I'd like to hear from your experience...

    Many years ago I replaced the rear end under my 1987 K5 with a used unit, but I'm not sure what it is or what it's from. Can anyone point me give me some insight?

    Replacement Jeep Steering / Intermediate Shaft

    Nice. I have a '78 Caprice (LS swap) daily driver that I've had almost 25 years now and it's in desperate need of a new steering box. I may do a shaft upgrade on it as well.

    Where to measure to see if truck sits level

    I just installed a 3" lift on my '87 K5 (springs front and rear). The rear looks lower than the front, and I'm aware that the higher fender wells in the front can make it appear it squats in the rear even when it doesn't. I just measured the body line above the rear taillights, but I'm not...
