    started my up rights for the brackets they turned out good. Im further along than these pictures but this is all I had and thought I would up date. I welded these to the angle iron on the bottom the hole bolts through the hinge bolt and helps stabilize the bracket.

    Thanks I've been waiting on a review from you on them...like I said before you made my mind up for me on these tires now I got to decide if I want to stuff 315s on it as they are cheaper than the 285s.

    Started working on my ditch light brackets. this is just a test run I will rebuild them when I get it all figured out. The base I will keep, the flat bar stock will need to be a little longer so I can make the bracket about 1/2" taller and a little longer after the 90* bend.

    yeah I hear that a common problem among GM's through all years. I would assume inadequate grounding and its building up heat. I also picked up some angle iron and flat stock to try and make some ditch light brackets but I don't know how that will go if you look at the ones made for the GMT800s...

    the blower motor resistor was a no brainer, the plugs do not match so you have to cut the 3 wire plug off and solder them to corresponding wires on the new 5 wire plug, as easy as matching colors and it plugs into the blower motor no problem. Be sure to disconnect battery before you cut the...
