Default New from Waco, TX

Just bought a 2000 extd cab short bed silverado, 110k miles and i picked her up for $4K. Clear title but she needs some TLC... and some MODS!!! She's got 2" drop shackles and a set of American Racing 20s. Shes got a few little issues, the fuel gauge goes full/empty every so often, and the seat handles are broken. Other than that its mainly a lot of little routine things that i can fix, brakes, mounts, seals, etc. I've been on ls1tech for a few yrs and im just now joining this site. Shoot me any tips/ advice, deals on parts etc.

pay it off in 6 months to help the credit, and bolt-ons for now, eventually and engine swap or s/c... im not sure really... i want to refurb the body issues and get the interior up to par, maybe go to pick n pull and see what i can find to throw on it, seats, mirrors, lights, etc.
