Nice truck man! I bought my Gibbs about the same time u got yours! They r fun little trucks. Mine also doesn't have a production number. Every option though as far as I know.

Look forward to seeing what u do with it!

sucks about the bumper, my wife backed into my Avalanche and it looks similar to yours. She hit it square so BOTH sides are pooched down under the fenders and I have no crease. It's noticeable but not in your face noticable, I forgot about her backing into it and then noticed it like a week later when I was coming out of work.

It's an easy fix, I just havent gotten around to doing it. Good luck with the truck.

Yea I just need to pull it into the garage and pull the bumper off and heat the brackets up and massage them back into place just haven't made time to do anything recently.

I found someone to buy my LS3 style Yella Terra rockers and my old cam so will be selling those soon. I am pretty sure my ARP head stud kit will work on this 5.3 but won't know for sure till I pull a few bolts from one of the heads and check. Hopefully they will work.


Right now plan is to just get boost for the summer. I have tons of plans and ideas but my money tree ran out of water so will have to go at this a little slower than I have in my past builds.

Plan right now is to hopefully reuse my ARP studs on the 5.3 with LS9 gaskets. Worse case scenario is I have to sell these studs and get a different set. I already have Vinci Hi Performance Extreme Duty Valve Springs that I will reuse along with Vinvi Hi Performance 7.4 push rods. Will get new Yella Terra roller rockers and get a custom cam for my future plans. Future plans are 4l80 and probably 3600ish stall from Yank. Will have the cam speced for those future plans. I know the 4l60 isn't going to like life but will beat the hell out of it for a summer and hopefully really tear into this project next winter. Maybe things will change this summer and my money tree will get watered again but right now just looking at logical steps. I just want my boost back!
