Default Project Blue ***** 2003 Chevy rcsb cage, 4link, boosted dart next

I bought this truck to do my build on instead of my crew cab. I plan on putting it in the 8's eventually. Gonna be a long road anyhow here's the truck. I picked it up from a family off craigslist out of. St. Louis. It's a decent truck with a strait body, 2wd, 4.8l power nothing step side, 126kmi. Only down side is the clear coat is peeling so it's gonna need painted but I like the blue and it's gonna stay. It looks like it's arrival blue. These are pics on the dayi bought it.

Maybe eventually... Lol but that's some serious et/speed. Highly doubt I could pull that off out of the gate. Also dunno if I'll have the power to do it either. But I'll give it a try...

Sounds like fun!

Did you ever end up using those brackets you bought from me? I figured you had a 4wd to work with.

Nope still in the box you sent.. Lol never even opened it.. I had a long hard conversation with a close friend of mine.. I was really gonna lean pretty hard on the Denali and have this setup in there but given my work load at my shop (2-3months out) with calls daily I'm going to have a really tough time making this build happen. So basically instead of compromising things because it's my daily driver, I bought this truck and plan to go the whole 9yrds on it. I am shopping for chassis shops to do 4link and back half as well as a 7.50 cert cage so if anyone has a good shop you feel is up to the task hit me up in a pm. Fast turnaround is a must. They are welcome to put a bid in, with pics of previous work.
Jeff@lsxautomotive.com thanks
if I can't find anyone there is a company that has a setup I'll go with that is layed out on cad and I'll have it prefabbed do it myself and shut my shop down in June-July.
