something way different!
now that i built the truck for the friend, its time for my project!
so this truck is something that ive wanted to do for a long time and havent seen anything like it yet. im taking this 2500 silverado and making it a rock truggy. plan on running atleast a 40" tall tire. exo cage, yanking the bed off the truck and sitting on coil overs all around with a link suspension. itll be a very slow build for me. I plan on keeping the truck street driveable with fully functioning a/c and heat as an all around weather rock crawler.
the frame off build on a 2004 Silverado completed
so i boutght this truck for the front sheet metal for the front end swap on the 04, split the cost and got this thing running with no reverse, and a trans that has first and the rest of the gears are just kind there at times. but its a 2000 with who knows how many miles, cluster has been swapped. 2500 with a 6.0, 4l80e trans, 14 bolt rear end

pulled the sheet metal for the 04
04 1/2 ton front end bolted right up to the core support of the 00 3/4 ton truck
started pulling the dash out
seats pulled and interior mostly out, found out it had no rear speakers lol
carpet and padding pulled

interior and bed is beat bad, one of the bed sides is actually falling off cause its broke at the pinch welds, but there is no signs of rust at all. forgot to mention i managed to pick this truck up for $700 considering i split the cost with the guy who got the front end

got a matching set of wheels and tires for rollers. my mom has a power wagon and got new wheels and tires so her old tires got thrown on this just so all 4 matched<br/>
picked up a front axle. its from a 3rd gen ram 2500 its an aam 9.25 and already has 4.56 gears. just have to do a free spin hub conversion to get rid of the unit bearings and put a selectable locker in
started pulling the bed, the rear bumper was tweaked so bad that even with everything unbolted i had to hook a chain and yank it off with my truck
pulled the rear tires off, sat it on jack stands and used the winch on the car hauler to yank the bed off since it was filled with nothing but scrap steel and was heavy as ****. seeing as the bed was already junk didnt care how damaged the bed was
bed removed

main dash support removed
Pulled the BCM and complete Cab harness
Removed everything related to the air bag system, and excess wires for options this truck does not have and the factory speaker wires
i got super lucky and came across a buddy replacing an engine in a 07 silverado and managed to score the heads off the core engine and send the iron heads back with the core
something later on, but managed to score a 28 gallon fuel cell for $120 and it doesnt leak
