GMC Sierra SLE C1500 Reg. Cab Long Bed. Bought late 2016 with 73,000 miles. 1 previous owner, purchased from dealership that sold it brand new 26 years earlier, all service documents intact. Came with canopy, hitch, running boards and toolbox.
2017-
Complete tune up. Fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs and wires, cap and rotor, serpentine belt, 3 oil changes and more. Trans fluid and coolant are fresh and need not replaced.
Sold canopy because its ugly on a street truck.
Cut down stock air filter housing and convert to open element and install much larger air filter.
Replace crappy tow mirrors with much nicer OEM style.
Remove ABS Module and flush brake system with DOT 4.
A/C Delete because of noise. Turned out to be the belt tensioner, replaced that too.
Reverse-throttle spring installed to lighten gas pedal. Feels like a car now and not like stepping in wet concrete.
Complete front-end rebuild with all MOOG parts and new front brake system.
Install Cragar D window wheels, 8 inch wide 15 inch diameter. Cooper cobras tires, 245/60 15 front and 295/50 15 in rear.
Installed Powertrax no-slip diff locker for better snow handling and for real burnouts.
Remove old exhaust system from the cat-back and replace with straight pipe with mid-ship dump. Sounds great and was very inexpensive.
Future Plans (realistic):
4.10 gears.
Replace rear window with solid glass and tint all windows to legal limit.
Line-x or similar spray in for bed.
Lakewood Traction bars and Gabriel Load-carrier shocks (struts) for rear axle.
Line-lock for front brakes so I can burnout without hurting rear brakes and bearings.
New Y pipe and cat delete with full exhaust. Heated o2 sensor.
Tachometer.
Rear Disc brake upgrade.
Glass Headlights
Vortec 350 Swap
Future Plans (If money and life allow):
Full built forced induction LS Swap
4 link with spooled heavy duty rear end.
Built 4l80.
Full Roll cage.
Drag Chute.
So basically a pro-mod drag truck....
