Most of you guys have probably seen this build on some of the other forums. Just thought I would get one going over here for CGM fam.
somewhat of a timeline: truck started out 2/4 drop with a stock 5.3 and vortec blower. i then took it took vicalma to have it . Drove the truck for roughly 2 years that way , then after a few shows my mind was set on getting bodied.so back to Vicalma again! after i got it back from being bodied we made a few changes on the rear setup and the control arms then i started on the 6.0 swap and turbo. being a fan of harness tucks and clean engine bays, i proceeded to relocate the pcm and fuse box inside the cab. I extended a lot of wires on the harness and after all said and done, I just didn't like the way it came out. so I bought a stock harness and took all the factory loom off and was able to get the length I need to put the pcm and fuse box under the dash.
2000 chebby rcsb:
