  1. That's an old Cheyenne isn't it? My Dad had a 73 yellow and white back in the day. LTHs, glasspacks and no tails. You couldn't talk in her unless you were yelling. Sadly I wrecked it as a stupid teen head on with an old GMC stepside.
  2. Today mine is getting detailed. Guy is out there now. Been waiting since April after I got my the truck for the appointment. Wash, clay, buff and coated. Cant wait til shes done. Hopefully the weather holds out too. FL weather is a bit bipolar lol. Update: All done!
  3. Nice, I didnt know that they made LEDs with the resistors built in etc. Do we have standard or CK sockets?
  4. So I ordered the third brake light, both cargo lights and both reverse lights.
  5. I just personally like Diode Dynamics. I have had issues with Superbrights in the past and stopped using them. DD are more expensive but I have never had one burn out on any vehicle. Also, the ones I am looking at are 720 lumens lol.
  6. Gotcha. Diode Dynamics trying to sell me resistors for other spots so wanted to clarify. Maybe Ill just not change the tails. Seems like drama to wire in a resistor. lol. Thanks for the reply.
  7. If I put LED bulbs in the third break light, along with the reverse lights, would I need resistors in them as well? I know of the blinkers you do but what about the rest? Also, I would assume youd need resistors in the four tails also? Thanks.
  8. Thank you guys for all your advise. It is greatly appreciated.
  9. I know issues in the fronts are in the steering wheel and the rear is the seat etc. I was just saying its odd they are in sync with how it feels in the different locations. What are the odds that bad wheels/balance etc would be in sync front to back.
  10. Ill look into this if they cant figure this out. Thanks. I really like the wheels and dont want to have to go back to stock.
  11. I wondered that also, but I feel it in the steering wheel, door panel, seat and console. Even odder is all the places I feel the vibration, its the same so it does not differ in pattern or intensity in any location.
  12. So definitely it wouldn't be the .2mm difference in bore correct? Also, I believe the stock wheels are 8.5" and these are 9". I would assume it being a wider wheel would not affect the tires either right?
  13. I recently got new wheels put on the truck and now it vibrates running down the road. Increases with speed. I have already been back and had them re-balanced but it still is going on. They also removed clips off the rear studs or something also. The bore size is only .2mm difference so I would assume it wouldn't be that causing the vibration as its such a minute difference. Anyone have any ideas on why I would still have this vibration? I figure Ill call them again next week also but wanted to pick yalls brains also.
  14. I have towed before just not for a while. As a teen, I've backed up and towed the boat. In the military we have hauled big generators and such around even had training days where we went into the woods to turn them around on dirt trails lol. I am by far no expert and I am sure I am rusty but Its not that I have never done it. I think the last time I ever towed anything was my car behind a Uhaul from FL to TX.
  15. I have read that part for sure. I also read that even though my truck says it can do 9400 other people do not recommend more than 6K for a smooth not crazy ride. I believe the placard on the truck says max payload is a bit over 1700lbs. Thought it was odd because I thought the Z85 package increased capacity. I attached images of the new wheels to this thread. They got mounted yesterday.
  16. You do have a point. I am just one of those guys that likes to plan ahead if possible.
  17. Thanks. She was my 6th and last Camaro I ever will own. After getting accused of racing and having to fix that issue, its just not worth the drama. She was a beauty though. All good now I have my truck and I enjoy driving again lol.
  18. Here is a picture of the front of the truck though. I will post images of the new wheels after she gets them on. They only weight 28 lbs also :D. Dropping about 6lbs per of unsprung weight. Gotta call that a win. Forgot, that antenna is no longer there either. I got a much shorter one.
  19. Forgot catback lol. Well my last ride was a 2013 Camaro SS. It had the badging changed out to the old script, coil overs and lowered, extremely light weight wheels, full exhaust to include LTs, CAI, Tuned, two 10" subs, sub amp, heritage grill, catch can, tint. Thats what I can think of atm lol.
  20. New wheels will not be here til next week. Havent modded the truck too much yet other than debadging, black bow ties, catch can, tint, modular intake tube and drop in filter.
  21. I really appreciate all the advise and help. I have owned six Camaros in my day and finally decided I needed a truck. Looking back, wish I would have found a good deal on one with a Duramax engine but its all good. I love my truck for sure. Just purchased some new wheels for her too. Should be in in a week.
  22. As for braking, what do you think about the below? https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/spectrum™-brake-controller-module-by-curt™-associated-accessories-19418030?vin=3GCPCRECXGG321983&categoryId=98099
  23. So I do have that to the left of the license plate. There is something else to the right of it. For the drawbar, how much of a drop should I look for or just a straight one? I did see some with all three balls and it did cross my mind to get it and be done. So, since I do not have a controller in the cab, the 7pin does me no good because my truck will not break the trailer? Already on the straps. I had to buy two for when my wife purchased some outdoor chairs from Wal-Mart lol. Need more though. I am thinking of getting tie downs for the bed also. Too bad I didnt have those when they put in the liner.
