See I like the way his rock sliders look, Much cleaner. Plus his looks better with larger tires. I think I made my steps too deep. If I have time today I mite shorten them up about an inch or so.

So the wife's bin complaining about not being able to get in and out of the truck. Soo I fabbed up these today and I'm not sure if I like the way they look.

Well for starters it wasn't that tight to begin with. Which is why I was able to easily tap it out with the screw driver in the first place. Secondly I've always done bearing preload by feel rather then a torque wrench. A torque wrench can't feel if the wheel is too loose or too tight. Just my...

Mine came off with just ah flat head screw driver. You mite try that first before shelling out the $35.00..

That is ah really cool lookin truck! You don't have to have a light over your license plate?

Well the safety chains can go down into the holes on the receiver hitch below the bumper. As for the trailer plug. The only thing I see from pics online that may be in the way is the cover flap on the trailer's plug. I wouldn't know for sure until I tried it. There's 1-3/8" space from the bottom...

(Dstang), No I haven't seen, much less used ah military plug so I'll have to look into that. (Marcus), If you look close at my pic you can see that the new plug sits lower then the pintle, thus the long back of the plug goes under the bracket. Otherwise if I tried to install it IN PLACE of the...

Well here's what I came up with today I went ahead and bought this (Hopkins 7 round multi- tow connector) from Walmart http://www.walmart.com/msharbor/ip/Hopkins-47185-Multi-Tow-Adapter/16782535 after taking some measurements below the military plug and also behind it. This worked out perfect...

I just got back from Walmart and I saw this http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hopkins-47185-Multi-Tow-Adapter/16782535, How hard would it be to bolt this in place of the military plug & wire in?

Hey guy's bare with me, I'm really bad at electrical stuff and I'm ah little lost. I searched the archives and didn't see an answer to this seemingly simple problem so here goes. I bought a (flat, 4 prong plug, T connector ) for a 1984-K30, and as per the instructions plugged the T in between...

I made it a point to use all ACDelco parts. You can't find them all in one place so I ended up ordering all of them online. Most from ebay.

That looks really clean. I like how the receiver sits right up to the bumper. Also it looks like you did the shackle flip. My hitch would be WAY too in the way to do that.

Well not "HACK" the tie downs, but I had to make about ah 6" X 1/2" relief cut to the bottom to clear the hitch it's self. Then remove the spacer towards the back. Then on about an 1-1/2" relief at the bumper bracket to also clear the hitch it's self. If you go to the bottom of this page and...

That's the same one. Etrailer has there own part numbers. So you have to go to the manufacturer to get the real numbers so you can go shopping. The ends flip flop to fit later model trucks as well as ours. The pic your looking at is how they would be for a newer truck. For ours the tabs face in...

Well I found the right one at Etrailer.com $219.00, but ended up buying it off Ebay for $153.00 (free shipping). It's a (B&W) Part # HDRH25122. 1600 lbs tongue weight, 16000 lbs towing. And yeah I had to do the same cuts just like Unaffiliated did.

Well my hitch showed up this morning so I spent the day installing it. WOW what ah pain in the X!!. 31 bolts, 6 cuts, 2 cutoff wheels, and 4 hours labor. the spare Bareilly fits. So it looks like ah 33" tire will need major surgery to make fit , but I think I could make it happen. I'd like to...

Cool thank you I had no idea that was down there...

Anyone?

Wait have you tried adjusting the tension screw on top of the box?

Well I'm NO expert on these trucks as most all are here. But I'll go out on ah limb here and say if it's anything like the ford boxes I've seen (worm gear & sector shaft design). Something in the box has definitely let go. Weather it be ah shim on the end of that shaft, or ah tooth off that...
