Forgot all about this site so i suppose I should throw up my build over here.
Bought this truck in November for $800 said and done..1999 GMC Sierra RCSB. 328k miles, running driving etc. Has paperwork up until 270k miles of oil changes and such..thing runs like a top. AC blows cold and trans shifts like new...pretty sure the motor is original, not sure about the trans..it doesnt look like its been replaced and there are papers of fluid changes and such.
Pretty much replacing everything on the truck and rebuilding it.
Whats been done so far, most of it in the last month
Suspension and steering
Drop kit
-DJM lower arms
-DJM lowering keys
-Flip kit with Belltech fully boxed notch
-Belltech SP shocks all around
Steering
-Moog upper arms and alignment hardware kit
-Moog tie rods, pitman arm, idler arm and bracket
-Moog sway bar bushings and ends
-Moog hubs
Brakes
-All new stainless brake line
-New brake hoses
-New Powerstop calipers (stock reman and PC red)
-EBC GreenStuff pads
-Powerstop drilled/slotted rotors
Misc
-Cleaned and painted the frame, spindles, rear end and any other parts that wernt replaced
-Blackbear tune and headers will be coming soon. Has a bad cat that annoys the hell out of me and I can resuse both with the built motor, with a retune of course.
Interior
-new window regulators and motors
-tore switches apart and cleaned
-shifter and shifter cable replaced
-blower motor resistor
-LED lighting
-door pins
-20% tint in the next few weeks
-New outer door handles
Exterior
-Nothing as of yet lol
Future plans
Motor-over the winter
-Built LQ4 is the plan for now..243 heads, big cam, injectors, fuel system etc..this could possibly change to a blower set up depending if this job goes through
-4l80e swap
-Eaton Tru-Trac in the rear. Already has 3.73 gears which should be fine
-Have a 14b in the garage but not in the plans for now..with having 4x4 most of my hard launches will be with that..plenty of people running a tru trac in a 10b with more power than I will have
Exterior
-Needs rockers and cab corners. Hopefully getting this done by the end of the summer. Truck will then be plasti dipped flat black until everything else is finished. Will probably find a new bed before paint as well. This one will be good enough until paint time.
-Most likely going 22" TBSS wheels in gunmetal or some 20" stocks..depends what i can find
Interior
-Katzkins
-Probably a center console, but the bench is nice to be able to haul 2 other people around so well see
-Double din with some nice speakers and a small sub
probably forgot a bunch of stuff, but you get the idea lol..heres a few pictures so far..not much to look at yet.
Day I picked it up..had been sitting for about a year
after a ton of cleaning. Interior is pretty nice
Starting some work
