hey every one figure id post up my current daily/project 05 silverado RCSB 2wd strong running 4.8 130k on it and it out runs my sons 17 f150 2.7 littler turbo from a 40 roll
ran down to out skirts of Huston, TX from chicago area on December 8th 2016 for a different truck but the seller let just say was not to honest so i passed on it while i was there my son and i started searching for a truck to take back found this one loaded it up and bong it home, if some of you are wondering why i went so far for a truck around here these trucks are rusted out i wanted a rust free truck
12/9/16 loaded started heading north!
once i got back home spent 2 full days cleaning it up, 4 step paint correction and pulled of some of the fancy chrome that was added
couple days later added some 20" wheels
over the next few months installed painted denali handles, painted mirror caps, tinted windows, bed cover, CAI, side exit exhaust, updated headlights, added driving lights, signal mirrors, audio system, denali cluster & replaced almost every light with LED's
all was pretty good then that poor 4L60e gave out on me so it was time to do the 4L80e swap
9/21/17
truck stayed like that for a while till i got tired of the chrome wheels plus i been getting parts to lower it and the offset on those wheels would rub the fender lips i swapped to some LTZ wheels about 2 weeks ago dont think they will be on long not really liking them to much maybe just keep them as winter rims idk...
then added some spyder led tail lights lights was clear i hated them so sprayed them with nightshade red tint then cleared wet sand then buffed
then shaved the tailgate emblems
few days ago i picked up a LQ4 with 95k on it going to try to swap in here hopefully in the next few weeks and lower it 4/6 or 5/7 then not much will go on for a while still have a 416 i need to get some parts for and get it in my z06 once thats done like to do h/c/i on this lq4 and boost it
actually ripped the lq4 down today and ran it over to the machine shop decided to freshen it up and might just stick the cam thats in my ls6 in it not sure
so after i put the LTZ rims on it just wasn't working for me as much as i like those rims just didnt like the way they looked on it so sold them off and picked up some 20" yukon polished wheels installed some 255/45/20 changed the gmc caps to bowtie's i like them better
today found a local on FB looking to sell a 2007 HD grille and hood in white in good shape so swapped hoods with him and a few bucks loving the new look. dropping it off today to get a dint on the drivers rear bed side and while its there going to have him paint the front bumper upper and lower plastic
hope to get my engine back from the machine shop this week so i can start getting it assembled, drop it in after the 1st since my friends will be broke and have nothing to do so should be easy to get some help lol
finally got my truck in to the body shop yesterday to fix a dent in the drivers side lower 1/4 panel behind the wheel so pulled off the rear bumper to make it easier to fix and decided to pull the front bumper plastic to get it color matched
hope to have it back tomorrow looks fugley tho with out all that stuff on lol
pickup a griots garage 6" orbital DA and a bunch of supplies going to do a 4 step on it once i get it back (clay, compound, polish & sealant) so should be looking a little better once its all finished needs it i should of done it before winter
ill get better pics after i do the paint correction on it
kinda funny found another forum member gs7793 had pretty much the same truck just way lower, im lowering mine more just not that much probably only a 4/6 drop
