    Cutting out the spare?

    If you have to take out the winch (which you will since there are probably around 6 million GM trucks on the road with spares that won't come down) do what these guys said above and cut the whole thing out. I spent 4 hours trying to make the secondary latch close based on youtube videos and I...

    Also forgot to mention I was able to obtain the build sheet and the truck has about every single option possible.

    1998 2 Door LT Resto

    My project continues to progress. I have ordered all the big suspension parts, brake parts and motor stuff. For the motor, I went with a new L31-R with the 4 bolt main new from GM and the cam from this motor: https://www.chevrolet.com/performance/crate-engines/sp350-357-base. I got the Alex's...

    15, 16 vs 17 tahoe

    I just drive my wife's '15 suburban today which I hardly ever drive. I think it's unresponsive and mushy (the go pedal). I really hate the V4-V8 thing and as it just went out of warranty was thinking of being to explore turning it off. I prefer the way my 2004 tahoe runs to the 2015...

    Well I got the truck finally a couple days ago. Here are some pictures. It looked a lot better after I got it washed but I forgot to take pictures afterward. It's amazing what the sun can do to stuff. The indigo blue paint (what's left of it) has turned a medium blue in the Arizona desert...

    1998 2 Door LT Resto

    Hi All, I am starting to pick out and order parts. Assuming I can get center caps I like, I am leaning toward these wheels. I really don't understand wheel fitment. Can someone tell me if these will fit or if I need spacers...

    Actually maybe you are right on the rear. This is getting expensive and that's a good place to save a grand. I am going to start looking at a new rear leaf set. What's the easiest way to raise the truck about 1" front and rear? Thanks

    Nathanhanover, I am not doing any of the work myself. I have been in points in my life where I had the time and not the money but now I am vice versa so I am going to roll with it. That's a lot of good information, and it results in some questions and comments as follow: When you say "you...

    BigDaddy, Thinking about the rear swap more. Being in the northeast I am trying to avoid doing any cutting to the frame and it seems like their are bolt on kits which is what made it attractive. Are there other special fab parts required such as driveshaft, are the axles the same length...

    Big Daddy, Thanks for the input. I do not have the time, know how, correct tools nor shop space to rebuild the motor myself. Maybe some day, maybe in retirement. I am really intrigued at the idea of using a next gen rear setup in the truck. Do you know of any online resources where this...

    Thanks very much. I will not have the truck for probably at least a week, but I will post pics as-is and every step of the way. Nash how far down the line are you on this project? I think we are going to see more and more people on this path soon. At 20 years young, they are classics now.

    Hello All, We are a chevy truck family. My wife drives a 2015 Suburban that we ordered custom. I drive our 2004 Tahoe that we ordered custom. It has 190,000 on it and runs great although its starting to rust, which is a different topic. Before that, I had a '97 green and gray 2 door LT that...
