Well i have the chance to swap my truck for an OBS silverado, kinda undecided on the matter, looking for opinions. My truck is a 99 NBS GMC ECSB, 5.3/auto 197k miles, usual stuff, lowered, wheels, basic mods(headers, exhaust, tune, etc) zero rust. needs paint work and the wheels arent that great, peeling and flaking chrome

other truck is a 97 chevy ecsb 250k on the truck, but has a 80k mile 5.3 swap, all the a/c, heat, etc works, longtubes, xr259hr cam, interior needs cleaned up and passenger cab corner has a small hole. comes with a new complete 4/6 DJM control arm/flip kit. if i get the truck it will get the drop and probably some 20" gray spoked wheels(TT2 or similar)

any opinions? would you do the swap?

i wouldn't swap just because i think nbs is a better platform

 

keep yours and fix its lil problems.

OBS trucks while are good do not compare to NBS trucks.

 

Is this a real question?

 

Bad trade. You'd be going so far backwards you'd never catch back up till you get rid of the 97. Just do the repairs on your 99. Your money would be better spent.

 

I see the OP is probably still kicking his own *** for asking this dumb question and hasn't returned.
