    81-91 inner door handle seal.

    Looking for 2, probably 4, inner door handle seals for the skinny 80's door handle. These sit just behind the door handle pocket and on top of the mechanism. Winter is coming soon and I don't enjoy how much cold air these holes let in. No one seems to reproduce the 80's units only the 70's. I...

    Brake hard lines

    80's k10. From my research all the lines after the proportioning valve should be 3/16 correct? Are all fittings to the wheels and brake hoses 3/8-24? As well as into the proportioning valve? All are 45 degree double inverted flare? Just for future info one of the lines to the factory prop from...

    Emblems. Anyone need?

    There's a guy selling some emblems. Anyone need? I might snag a couple 3+3's and was gonna scoop up those 400's cuz they're hard to find. I don't know what he's asking for them yet. The couple 3+3's I get will be for me but the 400's and whatever else someone can have at em.

    How do you feel about this?

    Wondering what you guys would do? Im 99% sure I'm gonna run it. For this reason. Im doing top end, my heads were wore out, I found out why. Apparently this is a virgin block from all I can tell, perfect 4 inch bore, 4.06 inch head gasket, pistons just have H or J on them no oversized marking...

    Extended cab square for sale

    I finally found an extended cab square for sale in my area. For some reason I think I've seen one other one a longggg time ago, but I cant remember. I just barely saw this was an extended cab. Guy doesn't even mention it in the ad, and the pics don't help. So I'm guessing she's probably getting...

    I bet you probably haven't seen this.

    Well I guess my 10 bolt luck strikes again, I knew it wouldn't be long since the pinion nut was loose when I installed the axle from the donor. But I told myself I was getting every last mile out of it lol. My first 10 bolt did this. Nothing crazy, broke the cross pin bolt somehow then dropped...

    Molded hose fuel pump inlet fix!

    Was just browsing as usual, thought of the molded 90 for the fuel pump inlet off of the frame mounted hardline, we've either got big loops of fuel line or we have kinked lines. Found this cool little hose, has a few different bends in it, you can cut what you need out. Not sure on the quality...

    Suburban overhead console guys! Bulb number for map lights?

    They are a spade style bulb, looks like a big brother to a 168/194. If any of you guys have got your owners manuals, or know which is factory I would appreciate it.

    Looking for no bs, tested, quality vacuum caps..

    This is the second, maybe even third time I've replaced every vacuum cap on my carb.. I've tried a couple different brands, and both have cracked completely, or have tears forming. They barely last a year, especially up north where the temp range is -60 to 110*F. It finally made sense, how on...

    Wood grain GMC dash insert

    It's out of the 76 I just got. Seems like it would clean up great! I still have to pull it, so unsure if all the studs are still good. It's not loose and floppy! May have a couple scuffs, will let anyone interested in it know once I look it over better Make an offer, pay shipping! No PayPal or...

    PSA- Easy free rust prevention

    I'm sure many are aware of this, but for those who aren't. It's basically a "preventative maintenance" type of thing. If the rust is already there, keeping up with this will help slow the rusting, but this won't "cure" rust lol. These are just some of the spots on the front. If this is "sticky"...

    All off an 84 burb. Make an offer, and pay for shipping. I don't have Venmo or any money transferring apps like that. -decent steering wheel. I believe I have the horn cap laying around somewhere, I don't think that's in great shape but not bad. May have one available from an 85 as well. -a/c...

    The hell g.m. lol?

    Somebody had a bad day... orrr a drunk day.. lol these look untouched, and I very highly doubt this carpet has ever been out. I'm guessing the assembly line had air impacts with preset torque cutoffs, and I'm guessing they just missed the bottom one and it hit the torque spec and the guy thought...

    For sale- 84 suburban factory rear roof mount a/c unit

    Pulled it out, as I have no use or intentions of using it, in pretty good shape physically. I didn't disassemble past what I needed to get it out. Condenser has been unsealed sitting in the garage for a couple years, and if I remember correctly the fan worked only on high, may not have been the...

I want to keep the th350 that it has in it, but my research says that's not happening without changing the output shaft on the trans, as long as I'm reading correctly lol...

    Need opinions!

    Alright 77 c30 cab and chassis truck, bought it how it is. Someone took the fire scissors to her back in the day and hacked it all up, and now I have it and want to fix it right. Looking at options, I want to run a flip over ball plate, frame mount and a 2 inch rear receiver hitch. I'm going to...

    1970 12 bolt rear swap in 84 burban

    The leaf spring perches measure almost perfect, I will have to change one shock mount. I haven't searched yet but I'm sure I can find a conversion ujoint easily, and I feel like my driveshaft will be okay length wise still. I'm not worried about the gear ratios as of right now. Now the problem...

    Found a couple of gems!

    Another score off the local buy and sell website! Doing my late night scouring of the classifieds a couple weeks ago and found an ad for 4 divorced np205's, 2 rebuilt, 1 non rebuilt, and one missing some parts. He said they're supposed to be out of a dodge, they're passenger side drop so thats...

    Snow tires for lifted trucks

    I'm looking into my options for at least 33 inch tall snow tires. I can't seem to find any options for 15 inch rims though, only 31's. If I bump up to 16's I can find 33's for a couple of the brands I like. I'm wondering if I should go with 17's instead? Are 16's still popular with good tire...

    1977 c30 cab and chassis

    Just picked up a 77 c30 cab and chassis for $400 and a few hundred miles. I think it only has 65xxx on it, was definitely a construction truck. The brake pedal looks less than 165xxx so I believe it hasn’t rolled over. Trip went great no problems, now I’ve got this ugly yellow turd. No motor...
