So I finally got a Regular cab short bed that was in my budget, $1500. It's a clean title 4.8 with A/C, manual locks and windows. It needed everything. It ran like crap, rode like crap and has an ok paint job over horrible body work.






After basic maintenance, completely new brakes (MC, calipers, drilled/slotted rotors, pads, hoses and fluid), suspensions (springs, shocks, bushings, control arms, bearings) and tires, it runs and drives like new.



As far as performance goes it has Speed Engineering LT headers, catless Y pipe, flowmaster dumped for now, corvette servo, electric fans, and mild tune (no dyno).
I live in Albuquerque NM and our track sucks 5300ft and DA of 8000 my best run before E fans was 16.93 @ 84 MPH.

I documented and still update my thread on Silverado Forum but I am on here now as I begin the performance mods.
Hope you all enjoy.

For the full build

That's a nice truck, its a shame the body got so beat up.

 

I grew up in a body shop, once I get it running the way I want. It’ll look showroom new. I learned the hard way about doing paint/bodywork first haha
