Rick's 1991 Silverado

[Rick1991]

I got a new job lately and that job means more truck parts, when I was in-between jobs I got some free time to figure out a solution to my tranny. Alberta driveline was able to fit a 1330 U-Joint to my out put shaft which entails getting a custom driveshaft made but hey, its a solution.

Also tried to fit my Improved racing crankscraper and that went poorly:

LY6 throttle body also fit up perfectly to the LS3 Intake manifold

Ordered quite a bit of stuff today/week because of the sales. There was a good deal (25%off) on theretrofitsource.com/ so I ordered a retrofit kit with 6000k bulbs. My lights suck at night so this should be a huge treat, also researched them before I bought them and the headlights will look oem from the outside which is what I was striving for, not fan of aftermarket looking head/taillights. Also did a decent order from jegs, will post pics of my early Christmas soon hah.

Huge parts update…
I recently sold my Subaru to buy another 4 cylinder turbo car but I couldn’t decide what to buy from japan so I ended up with this as a pastime car..

It’s been super reliable and the Subaru money was burning a hole in my pocket so I splurged on a bunch of parts for my truck, those parts consisted off: Level 2 monster clutch w/billet flywheel, CTSV bellhousing, LS performance wiring engine harness, C5 fuel filter/regulator, Improved racing Oil cooler adapter, oil cooler lines w/flame retardent protector, oil cooler itself, new timing chain, msd 2-step launch control, Quicktime exhaust cut outs, 2 2.5" Flowmaster hp-2 shorty mufflers, Iriduim spark plugs, Hedman midlength headers, 2 14” flexalite electric fans with flexalite variable speed controller, Dirty Dingo motor mounts, retrofit projector kit with 6000k bulbs, LS3 valley cover, dual Saikou Michi catch cans, and I also sent my ECM off and got the VATS removed. More pics to come when they decide to ship my jegs order...

Retro-fit went poorly so I decided to sell them, and buy just hids. Also scored some new oem headlights from my friend for 75$ + my K&N cold air.

Now all that I should need is LS3 water pump w/thermostat, driveshaft made, exhaust with X-Pipe, tune, speedhut afr gauge with aem bung, CTSV starter, O2 sensors, and shift boot/shift lever/knob.

I wish I could tell you my back spacing but I'm not too sure, I kept asking boze and they didn't really give me a solid response. I rubbed in the rear for a little but the fender rolled it self slightly. If I could I would've gotten 265's and the 305's. I'm sure if you did a full roll you could 100% fit 315 like some other guy is.

I think I found the wheels I want for my 3rd gen, awesome build man

Would you be able to measure from the back of the wheel to the leaf springs and the overall width of tire for me I would appreciate it that way I can check before I buy my wheels

The wheels aren't on my truck right now as it's winter and my truck is in a different garage. You can look up on a tire calculator on google what the 295/45/R18's lay, it's something like 11" or so.
