Expert Answers about GMC C/K Series Pickup


  • Recommended Tow Hook Options for a 1995 GMC K1500
  • The Chrome Plated Steel Tow Hooks part # 63029 are a universal fit item and we have not had the chance to test the fitment of these on a 1995 GMC K1500 yet. Most likely you will need to drill two holes in each side of the frame to attach the tow hook. The tow hook is 5-1/2" long x 1-14" wide and the bolt holes are spaced 1-1/2" apart on center with a 1/2" diameter. The overall height of the hook is 3" and the distance from the top hole closest to the end of the hook is 3-1/4". I have also...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1989 GMC K1500 4WD W/ 10 Drop Bumper
  • For your 1989 GMC K1500 4WD Extended Cab with the 10" Drop bumper I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V XD - 2" # C15317 as it is designed to work with the 10" drop bumper on your truck, and has a 2400lb tongue weight rating and a 16000lb trailer weight rating making it a very heavy duty hitch. While this hitch has high ratings your truck may not so I recommend checking the owner's manual to find your trucks towing capacity and using the lower ratings between...

  • Determining Fit of Erickson Flip-Up Stake Pocket Anchors EM01006
  • The Erickson Flip-Up Stake Pocket Anchors # EM01006 are not a vehicle-specific item but you can use their dimensions to help determine if they will fit in the stake pockets on your 1987 GMC pickup. The base that covers the stake pocket measures 3-3/4 x 2-1/4 and the lower bracket that secures it inside the stake pocket measures 2-1/8 x 2-1/8. Naturally, this lower bracket must fit within the pocket opening. If you refer to the linked photo that shows a side/underneath view you'll be able...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatibility For a 1996 GMC Sierra C/K Pickup
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15325 is confirmed to fit your 1996 GMC Sierra XLE as long as you have either the standard or step bumper. It will not fit if your GMC has a roll pan, or deep drop bumper. For a deep drop bumper Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15317 is the one I recommend. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13942 will fit with a roll pan rear bumper of 1500 series trucks. You will need a Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness # 41125 to give you a 4-way flat...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1987 GMC 1500 Pick Up Truck
  • The Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch, # 75034, will fit your 1987 GMC 1500 as long as it does not have a deep drop bumper. If your truck has an 8 ft bed and a deep drop bumper, then you will instead need the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 41504. I have attached a photo of a typical deep drop bumper if you are not familiar with them. If your truck has a 6 ft bed, then you will need additional hardware to complete the installation. You will need six 3/8 inch spacer blocks, # 01077-011, and...

  • Yes, you can still use the Pace Edwards JackRabbit Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover # 311-JRC1329 on your 1971 GMC C/K pickup with the 6' bed. The cover will lock in place still but since you do not have a locking tailgate anything you put inside your bed will not be secured.

  • Could a 1998 GMC Truck 2500 be Flat Towed with a 5,000 lb Capacity Tow Bar
  • Your truck is most likely going to weigh more than 5,000 lbs. I looked up the weights of your truck and depending on how it is equipped it could weight between 4,299 lbs and 5,470 lbs. For a very popular tow bar that has up to a 6,000 lb capacity we have the Roadmaster Falcon 2 part # RM-520 which would work well for you.

  • Recommended Replacement For An Atwood GCH6-7E RV Water Heater
  • Since RV water heater manufacturers have changed with the times you will have a bit of work to do to get any new water heater to fit correctly. The best option we currently carry is the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR93FR. This water heater is 12-5/8" wide x 12-5/8" tall x 19-1/4" deep so you'll likely need to frame in the cutout hole a bit for this new unit to mount to. You can then cover any gaps with some thin pieces of plywood or any other material of your choice since the access...

  • Should Bike Adapter Bar Be Used for Yakima OnRamp and Aventon Level E-Bikes
  • Thank you for your purchase of the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y36FR! Yes, if you don't like how the clamps of the OnRamp connect to your Aventon Level e-bikes then you'll want to use the Swagman Bike Frame Adapter Bar # S57FR for an easier connection that is a little more centered over the frame. If the Yakima clamp won't fit over the top tube of your standard frame bike then this adapter bar would come in handy as a better point to secure the bike as well. Attached...

  • Use of the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 without Removing the 7-Way Plug
  • Absolutely! You can install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles # 90885 without ever having to remove the 7-way plug already installed on your 1996 GMC Sierra 1500. The # 90885 comes with a splice-in harness that connects to the wiring under your dash. Since there is not a plug-and-play customized harness that is compatible with your truck, it is important to note that you need the 20-Amp circuit breaker # 9506P for 2- to 4-brake applications or the 30-Amp...

  • Will Aries Round Nerf Bars Fit 1978 GMC Sierra
  • The Aries Round Nerf Bars # AA204037-2 are designed to fit the 1978 GMC C/K Series with a regular cab. As long as your Sierra has the regular cab these will fit your truck. If you have the crew or extended cab there are no nerf bars that will fit so the only option would be side steps like the # CARR124031.
