I cant run it down the road, but the little ive messed w it, the sierra gets NO traction.
Honestly, Its been a major tossup. Ive never had a stalled, or cammed truck. Everyone says it should be suited well for the 80E, 224R @ 114LSA. I still want the truck super streetable, as I intend on driving it pretty often. On the plus side, free restall in first 2 years! :fuckyeah:
Finally messed with my new powder color some...
Did my filler neck, thinking Ill do engine bracketry, covers, oil pan this color, just for something interesting under the hood.
Also cleaned some of my dirty teenage idiocracy off the underside with the assistance of a buddy and le gf

Got parts rolling in...
I cleaned the tank out, installed new Bosch pump ( was free bc of lifetime replacent, luckily truck was vortec so itll support the swap) then sprayed the outside and cover w cheap bedliner, pic makes the finish look uneven, but its not.
Then went with 5 cans of duplicolor bed armor on the bottom of the bed, love the hard finish and rich black, once again, not uneven as the pic looks
Then sat the bed on and moved some of my million parts and rolled her inside, will sit inside on stands a while because wheels are selling this wk and.my new ones are backordered. Next few days will be spent organizing all my parts and cleaning up, then start engine work, on to pics, yes I have a lot of stuff haha

Apparently, before this truck was acquired 13 years ago some sack of shit sprayed clear, and just taped around the molding. After some wetsanding n medium cut on a buffer, will hit it all w adams and my porter cable when done.
The black was bad off anyway, looks better than trashed molding. Will definitely be painted now though.
you gonna stick to the color scheme it has when it gets repainted? that sucks though ive seen so many trucks that get the moldings taped and cleared over.such horseshit
Yep, it was a pretty uncommon factory combo, ill likely go to pure silver and tuxedo or carbon black is all
