Old black Betty Tahoe build
Come a long ways and still got a long ways to go!
Got it for 5,000$ Ltz fully loaded 255,000 hwy miles 0 rust!
First day I added leds and a billet bow tie and z71 grill emblem
Threw the 20x12 I had laying around on the stock tires for the time being 12-14,000 lbs of sod in the dump trailer if your wondering…
Fit the 12 wides with no lift Demolded and put smoked taillights on
Traded for a set of 24” snowflake replicas
When I first got the 24x14s and 35/13.50s trying to fit with a leveling kit just to chop a couple of days
Same style wheel but 20x12 I diddnt like the size though so I traded again
For these 24” kmc slides put some new meats on and was good for awhile until I found a lift
Got my moto metals back for a bit put nittos in this time
Traded the kmc slides for the fuel maverick 22x14s Got the lift off Craigslist for 200$ Flipped the front diff that came with the lift for 425$ Used that money to buy some month old icon coil overs for 400$ shipped off let go! 6500-7000$ worth of suspension for a total of 200$ and a harbor freight wrench set! Tripled my value on the wheels also as I started with the stocks worth maybe 200$ and ended up with a set of 3500$ two piece wheels
Billet emblems grill and new license plate Cadillac racks and window trim
After I got the rear lift built and put the forged wheels on
Pretty much the finished project as of right now Fabtech 6” stretched to 8” off 2018 Silverado Fabtech uniball uca off 2018 Silverado Icon 2.5 coil overs off 2019 gmc at4 so 3.5” was like 5.5” so cranked down with the leveling kit she sits at 8” 3” leveling kit stainless brake lines powerstop breaks Spoon panhard bar and trail arm drops Jeep swap bar links Kryptonite ball joints and wheel bearings sway bar links Fabtech and moog tie rods Dirt king locking cam plates

Also did a Escalade door panel sill and plastic swap inside along with the Escalade cluster and a kenwood double din
memphis speakers
3500watt amp
15” Memphis mojo
weather tech mats front to back
dakine rack pads
tinted windows
Lil buff and polish she shines up for a old girl
My speaker and tool box
New amp and speakers still need to get a mids/high amp for the doors and do a yinlong battery delete in preparation for the motor build Maybe a bigger alternator too but yinlong should be enough
Power stops on
Cleaned up
Spoon panhard bar and rc springs Jeep sway bar links fabtech shocks until I get icon resi shocks for the rear
Trail arm drops
Cadillac interior swap (I HATED THE TAN) man I wish the seats were in better shape I should have got them to recover but they weren’t heated but still would’ve been nice to throw in the obs truck down the road
It’s amazing what zeyphrs aluminum polish will do!
Had to get that reflection pic
Dirty wheels

Jesus christ that's almost more sets of wheels put on that truck than the amount of wheels my trucks have all together.
