I picked this little truck up about 2 months ago for a project. Started out completely stock when I bought it.





First thing to go was the stock wheels and tires, and stickers and pinstripes.





Next was the step bars on the truck that sits 8" off of the ground.





Then the horribly cheap uncomfortable stock seats that come in these got replaced with some comfy GTO seat. Powers all hooked up, and they fit in the truck perfectly.





Then I got the windows tinted nice and dark, and got rid of the stock flat gray fender flares for some nice factory painted ones.





I have been slowly cranking down the torsion bars to find out how low I can go. It's down 1 1/2" so far, but I think it can go down to 2-2 1/2", then lower the rear to level it out, then go get an alignment.

 

Nice little project truck! I've thought about doing something with one of those too.

Any plans for a powertrain swap?

 

Everything from the Silverado will be swapped into it soon.

 

Be prepared for one pass TnT 's before you get sent home lol!

 

I'll figure out what boost gets me a low-mid 11 and play all day, then crank it for a glory run at the end of the day. I'll have to make it up to DW42 a couple of times just to see what I can get it down to without anyone pestering me about going to fast. I have a feeling it will take a little bit of practice just to make it to the 1/8 consistently.

 

Looking good Man.

 

Maybe I missed it, but is this a 5.3 truck? I see you plan on swapping the turbo stuff so Im guessing it is.

 

It's a 4x4 3.5L i5. It's coming out and my turbo 6.0L/80e is going in with a little welding and fabbing to make it all fit and work.

 

This is exactly what I was hoping you would say.

Looking forward to seeing this happen.

 

We need updates!!!!
