Looks great! I'm working on a 1997 Tahoe 4 door. Mainly needs paint as it's very crackly. So far, my learning new skills is just painting the barn doors. Learned that if you paint when it's really hot, you get orange peel. When it cools down a bit, I'm going to do the sanding/polishing/buffing etc. to remove the orange peel. I would say you should lubricate the hood hinges! I cringed when I heard that! So far, I've added the Cunningham Machine lower steering shaft, with immediate results. Added some LED tail lights and CHMSL to quickly update the back end. Need to do some suspension work and I've saved your oil pan/timing cover series as it does have oil leak(s) somewhere. Yours is so much cleaner underneath. Mine is crusty as can be. Replaced the rotted, crusty steel spare with a matching factory alloy. Had to get a new tire as the spare dated from 1998! On the list for the future is a new radio with wireless Android Auto, new speakers all the way around. upgraded headlights and front turn signals, and various other items as budget/time allow. How do you like the RedHead steering gear? The two things that have always bothered me about this truck are the overboosted/loose steering and soft brake pedal. I'm planning on doing the NBS master cylinder to help with the brakes.

@robertgraham7245 the red head wasn't worth the money. It had a leak that I had to fix shortly after installing it. The nbs upgrade with a powerstop kit all the way around was a big difference

@@treyhaberman On Powerstop, did you stick with rear drums?,

[@treyhaberman]

@robertgraham7245 yes, I rebuild them with stock parts

I have a 97 c1500 2wd, and I have no brake lights. It all stop working after I replaced the brake booster. I’ve replaced the brake light switch but still nothing. Relay is working as well.

Sounds like a switch to me
