It's tore up! The tranny looks to be okay. I didn't see any sort of crack or anything, but I'll know for sure once I pull the thing out. I'll be bummed if the transmission is toast!

Take the engine trans and rear end and make a go kart lol

I do have a solid frame from a 95 k1500, maybe I'll remove the front diff and all the 4x4 stuff then shove in the 4.3 and chop the frame. See if I can clear 35s with no fenders and bed lol

4.3 powered GMT400 rock crawler maybe? Or a pre-runner? Glad to hear your friend is okay, especially with the truck coming out like it did.
Damn deer are nothing but a nuisance sometimes, I've almost hit 2 in my Suburban, and one really close call in my 2500; scared me shitless every time.

A prerunner kind of thing might be cool. I have another regular cab that needs a dash and doors, I can probably salvage the dash out of this thing for that and I have **** doors somewhere on the property. I'm liking the idea of just something quick out in the desert with big tires. With no fenders I can put a turbo on this thing wherever I want which makes it easier. Just something stupid and not street legal lol.

I so hate deer too. I hit three in my old 98, worst damage was a broken GMC grille. The truck had the same 6.5 bumper that was on this truck when I hit the deer. No damage haha. I've been close to hitting a few in my Dodge, especially this past month. My low beams suck, and driving down the highway doing 70+ and one jumps out in the headlights it's scary ****! I learned just to hit them and not avoid them because that would probably do more damage if I crashed into something besides a deer (like tyler trying to avoid hitting the deer and totaling my truck)

I could with enough work make the 95 parts truck drivable again, but it's vinned for a 350 so that would be a **** show with smog. And that gas tax is ******* stupid. New taxes every year! For those curious it's 12 cents per gallon of gas, and 20 cents per gallon of diesel. Gas/Diesel over here is currently $2.93 Reg / $3.13 Mid / $3.23 Prem / $3.03 Diesel but that will be different here in 3 hours

Going through my phone and couldn't find any recent photos that were decent (hey that rhymed!) with the newer grille and stuff, but I found one that Tyler sent me and is now in my signature since I change that like I do truck parts (all the time).

Looking at what my "replacement" will be now that I have a gap in my collection it seems (k3500 still up in limbo, still need to get rims for my HD), I found a 99 Tahoe 4x4 with a Vortec 350 and a blown head gasket. It's pretty clean both inside and outside minus the hood/grille. He wants $400 for it so that may happen.
