Default Winter project(s)

Got my hands full the next couple months! It's almost appropriate to call this thread RCSB build #2...3 and 4! I can't leave my truck alone for more than a couple months...have to tinker with it. I've been itching to beat on my 4.8 again after seeing all of Rob's (foose04) success with it...so I'm going to! I sold my 6.0 and meth kit to a member on here whose truck I am also building this winter. I'll let him make his own thread Anyway that prompted me to find a nicer truck, with a more proper color...so here she is!







As per Joseph's request new truck specs are: 2004 Silverado, 150k on the odometer, Z71 4WD, currently residing in Knoxville, TN. Will be picking it up in 2 weeks, and then driving through Alabama on the way home to see all of these 'fast' trucks

Plan is the new rod style, stock bottom 4.8, twin GT3582r's, small shot of nitrous, and 100% E85. 25-30psi ought to wake it up!

The other project is swapping my current truck to a 4.8 as well and putting an S465 on it. I have a friend wanting to buy that one...should be a fun little truck too!

True that. I have been shopping around for a couple weeks now and people around here are telling me, just swap your stuff into a fox body or an f body. My response....you expect me to haul my quad to the dunes with a car??
