Default My Truck is under-the-knife...

Well as some of you may know...my truck will be going under quiet some changes in the next few weeks...tomorrow the carnage starts with my m12 t56 swap to replace my nv3500...Im also swapping the rear gears to 4.88's and converting to 2wd...so after months and months of hawking numerous sites i finally rounded everything i need and seeing work will be picking up soon I need to get the show rolling...after i get the new trans in, my kbracing front mount will go on shortly after...then down the road i need to build my 6.0 and 14 bolt rear to get some speed outta this thing

about a week ago my fuel pump to a **** so Ive been driving the company truck back and forth to work and SBChvy and my other good friend came down 4 hours to pick my truck up to trailer it to his shop...I took a quick vid of loading it onto the trailer



Ill be sure to try to include as much detail in this thread as I can and take as many pics as possible...
