So I did pick up a set of the 1320 wheels brake conversion brackets. Then I searched long and hard for drilled/slotted or dimpled/slotted rotors for a early 90s K1500 reg cab light duty to run with those brackets (all people ever use are the stock smooth rotors but I wanted to match my fronts)...
Yes actually. Here soon I'm swapping to a boost cam, then gonna do 15s on the rear, fuel pump, 4l80e with smaller converter, and step down to 3.73 gears, and then turbo the 4.8. Looking for 600-700

Racetruck not for sale anymore. No reasonable offers. The build continues. Got some things on the way.
Also I went to the track a couple weeks ago.
Keep in mind no weight reduction at all, full weight, with subs under the back seat, and a lil baby 4.8L under the hood.
Truck went...
Considering selling the racetruck because I've always wanted a F body trans am. But not getting any interest in the truck so far so we'll see I guess.

For sure, I just figure while I'm in there I might as well throw a fresh set of gears in since its only $200 more.
But for now I'm happy and I'm just gonna drive it as is.

Pulling v6 out

The truck is fun as hell now. It is tuned, with ls6 cam and TB stall. Otherwise stock, but it rolls out. I love it.

Little update:
I bought a 6.0 out of a 07 classic. Cleaned it up, found cracked oil pan and cracked timing cover. Then I tried to turn it over and it was stuck. Got it to turn over and it still was rough and would catch in certain spots. Absolutely needed a rebuild in my opinion. I brought it...
Bad idea.
1) what would I drive when I have 2 non running trucks from doing that
2) from 01 to 03 there's some differences like dbw and dbc and the alternators and harnesses are a little different so I'd literally have to buy a whole motors price worth of extra shit. No bueno
3) I'll post...
Definitely time for an update on both trucks.
The daily:
I added fog lights
Lil in traffic shot
The Racetruck:
Got me some wheels for shows (still keeping the race wheel setup)
Also got a new console with rear a/c (came stock with jumpseat, sold that months ago, been...
Thanks yall I appreciate it. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Not many would go through all that on these wheels but it was worth it

Wheels on and colormatched bumper cap and tailgate w/ handle. Now the exterior is nearly done as far as I'm concerned.

Currently my top bumper cap and tailgate for my single cab are at the painter. Also I got my 20s back from machining and powdercoat and I'm getting the caps for them painted to match. So there's gonna be some big changes here soon.
