Friday was its last day in my possesion , i had enough of it and needed something that can be used with more practicality in my life future.
seems like its the trend around here to mod the hell out of a gen 3 truck and then step into a diesel. being a diesel mechanic it was a no brainer. I have been looking for ltz 2500's for a while with no luck . I wont buy new since im a tight wad so i had a friend of me keep his eye out . friday he called me and said he just picked up a 2008 greystone metallic 3500 cclb ltz with a single rear wheel. Took it for a drive and came back a few hours later to get numbers i liked. this truck has every option minus sunroof , to me not a big deal . i also would have preferred the charcoal interior but this is just fine .
came with a mbrp exhaust and some aftermarket wheels and tires.


just tinted the window to match the rear and orded some hid's for lows and fogs.
only plans are a nice lift with some 20/38 tires
and the coolest part , i traded in the camaro , not the truck
this will be the SS hauler.

The whole time I was reading the first part of your post I was thinking...what the **** is he gonna do with that 427 twin turbo mill? I seriously thought you were gonna put it in that chromed out quad you had at one point! 
Glad to see you got rid of the maro, the truck is too unique to get rid of. Nice find! Now Dave and I know who to call when we need a ride to SEMA!
What are your plans with it?

im going to lift it enough to clear 38's. i want to keep the ride as nice as possible so leafs and a spindle lift are being inspected tonight . i found a sweet deal on a kit down the street.
other than that , big *** tank and some amp research fold down running boards . gotta keep the fat chicks on the ground. It will stay stockish as the camaro did as i will need reliability and towing. still have about 6 k left on the bumper to bumper warranty and have the 100k drivetrain. looking to take advantage of those.
i do still have the quad . its the only thing in my big *** garage . i think this truck will fit but its very close in front and rear. waiting for the SSS to come home and maybe one day find me a racecar /67/68 camaro .
