...would you finish your truck or just get a new one? I'd do all the stuff to mine that I want to do now, and get a new one, and maybe a new Camaro and Vette also
Here's what my truck would get though.
Build my LQ9...with a 224/2?? cam, LSXRT intake, either new LT headers or add 3" collectors to my SW's, with fake cats in a 3" y-pipe into a 3.5" cat back with a cutout...
The dual wideband setup that I've been talking about, in a SoCal Diesel overhead mount, and dual scan gauges in the a-pillar
AWD swap, 4.10's and a trutrac
Lower control arms, hangers, new Centerlines with 275/45-20's
Big brakes all around
Hotchkis sway bars
maybe a 14 bolt rear
Goodmark Cowl hood
either a *******'s Speedstur tonneau, or a Checkmate flush tonneau and an RST spoiler.
Color matched upper and lower bumper covers, lower front valance, and mirror frames.
New gloss black paint job with flat black RS/RST style stripes on hood and spoiler
Leather captain's chairs...recovered with Katskins
There's more but I can't think of it all right now...
I'd be doing all of these mods during the day in my new state of the art garage since I'm so rich that I can quit my job and just work on my truck...make that trucks, think I'll build a blown 05 SS too...
I'd fly Justin from BlackBear out here to Jersey to tune my truck and teach me how to use EFILive, then drive him back to Cali in my freshly built and tuned truck...maybe take him back in the SS so my daughter can make the trip also
What would you do?

Travel.
Really, seriously? I would buy my dream ~42' sail boat and just hit it. There isn't anything I can't do or any place I can't go by water.
I'd still check in here by satellite internet, of course

I'd do both. I'd build out my 01 ecsb 2wd with a 6.2, 6spd and blower. Then buy a new CCSB z71 and a cts-v coupe. Then I'd build a big *** garage to store those and several others in.

First I would build another shop and get all of my **** out of the storage unit. Then I would let sparks fly building stuff.
Probably look for a regular cab truck to play with.

Send budhayes a check to finish his build.. Then buy a huge shop & hire some PT.net guys to make some awesome builds & my buddy to do the painting.. Good size house in the country with a 1/4 mile driveway..

I'd probably sell a bunch of stuff that's weighing me down and go see the world.
I'd spend time in So. Cal, Colorado and Florida then spend a little time in Hawaii. I'd also spend some time driving some of the top scenic drives. After that I'd probably check out England and Amsterdam. When I was done I'd probably buy a house in Maui and still travel a bit.
