This is a project I've wanted to do for a long time. I'm just doing suspension and fuel mods for now. Truck is an 01 GMC RCSB with 150k on the clock, sle trim, and had no, i repeat no tread on the tires. My crewcab will then go back to NA and be sold funding the motor and turbo additions to the green 01 GMC. Mods so far are new windshield, new brakes, Street scene mirrors, take offs w/235/60/16's, McGaughpys 2/4 kit, my own version of the shock remount with 3by5 crossmember and boxing plates to the frame. Pump is a Bosch 044 external 8an feed, 6an retrun to the 22gallon cell I stole out of my 70 shortbed with a built 5.3 in the back of the garage. I'll post up as time allows. My buddies nicknamed it green bean by the way and Haba Verde comes from Jose the previous owner. Thanks to Bryan and Corey for thier help also. First pic is of truck as I bought it

 

good luck with the build... keep us posted

 

Spent a couple hours over the past few weeks working on it. plumbing the fuel system and removing all the unnecessary stuff now.

 

couple more pics. I still need to fab the traction bars that will work "correctly" and clear my 2/4 Mcgauphys drop with overload spring in place

 

Whoo-hoo I just scored an extremely cheap low mile 14 bolt limited slip diff with the gears I want and 6 lug out of a lower mile 92 Chevy delivery van

 

Nice build...but..haba don't mean bean.....lol

 

Nice build, keep it coming.

 

Did you get a chance to open it up and look inside??? Have you measured it???

 

Tooth count on ring gear counted for the ratio I wanted and the wheel flange to wheel flange distance was what I wanted also, close enough to stock anyway. Inside looked clean, locker (G80 i presume) and gear surfaces looked perfect. Any recommendations?

 

I bought it from mexican guy (Jose) who named it Haba verde
