Default Another West Texan

hey guys i own a white 00 z71 extended cab i am the second owner to my knowledge. this truck was badly abused from the previous owner i bought it in bad shape but she is my love and i have given her a lot of attention. I bought the truck as is, she came with some hail damage her drive shaft was bent and she had 108000 miles on it. Since then i have had to replace the engine sensors the transfer case, rear differential, wheel bearings, drive shaft, cats and soon the transmission. She has the 5.3 with some minor mods such as 80mm throttle body, throttle body spacer, edelbrock shorty headers, K&N intake, a crane cams programer and a glass pack muffler. I have many parts i am about to put on my truck and i cant wait to do just that. She has a plain jane look but im going with performance first before i even start poppin those little dents out. This truck is my passion/ guinea pig and i love her. I will have a picture up soon

Cool. I used to live there. In fact, I bet you might have seen my old truck. The new owner lives there. Black RCSB stepside, dropped, 18's, and vette emblems on the side. It's a H/C LS1, and you will deff. hear it before you see it!

So what's the future plans for your's?

Yeah i know exactly which one your talking about.. well i was gonna get a 6.0 but i decided, for now, to stick with my 5.3. I plan to put a edelbrock intake with feul rails, an elbow and 90 MM throttle body then im going with the head and cam kit that you can check out at summit racing for the 5.3 im also going to install a electric fan and rebuild my transmission and more to come
