I'd go 3/4 ton Suburban with an 8.1L big block. Bigger brakes, better rear axle and power to spare. However, the Denali trim level was available on the XL or Suburban wheelbase length. The Denali runs the same 6.0l as the Escalade of the same years. That 6.0 is no slouch either, but you...

I run a service department at a little Chevy dealer here in Colorado. Here's my take on the thoughts you have on the LLY or LBZ dirtymax engines. Both have power to spare. Injectors aren't an issue like the LB7's as they moved locations and redesigned them. So yeah, they run. However...

Here's a great idea to keep the stock look but upgrade the lights. Swap out the regular sealed beam bulbs for a set of conversion h4 housings. To take full advantage of the H4's you need to need to upgrade the stock wiring with a relay kit. Put simply, the load of the lights on a stock 60's...

The problems you have really are going to out-weigh what the truck is truly worth in the long run. If the truck body wasn't swiss cheese I'd go the other way and fix it because a newer truck is still going to cost more. Those front bearings are 400-500 bucks a side for GM units and...

I've heard of the Peoples Republic of California's emissions laws. You can still have fun with the 350 in it now. My poor little 350 is the cast off from Larry's rig when he made the original 454 swap way back when. It's no stump puller, but it gets the job done. One thing I noticed from...

Good solid foundation. You got the right idea on your plan of attack. Make it reliable and safe first. Then you can start building up. One thing I can say, with the right selection of parts you can make that truck very capable off road and still ride decently. A rear shackle flip does...

The outside upgrades look good. Very creative use of the roof rack to give a good point to hang the shower from too! The shelf it looks like it should give some valuable storage in a tight space. If you don't need the visors now, I bet I won't be able to see traffic lights if I'm riding...

Thanks for the Credit Larry! I actually had to add the bottle racks on mine since the console on the earlier trucks like mine (75 K5) don't have stock cupholders. Mine has only pockets to fit the seatbelt buckles when not in use. Also, keep a lookout for bike bottle racks with adjustable...

If the dash lights are on all the time, you might want to check the ambient light sensor. If the BCM sees no light, it's going to force the dash lights on along with the headlamps. If that is the case the headlights should be on. We see this at the dealership I work at pretty frequently when...
