Big ol' blue

[ocanuck]

I've been itching for a "cool" daily driver over my 2003 D'max with 33s and this k2500 dropped it's price on FB Marketplace... TBI 454, 4L80E, full floater rear and likely the best maintained vehicle I've ever bought. It really needs nothing other than fuel, and it likes that rather frequently.

The plan is simple:

- Preserve the 90s awesomeness. The "Patina" and hub caps stay.
- Lower it... purple keys, shackles, hangers and some good shocks.
- LS swap (my spares bin has a good ironheaded 6.0L, some 799 heads, and a TBSS intake... all I need to buy is a "truck" cam and some gaskets and it should make nearly 500hp)

I like where you’re going with this. I really like the look of the older interior, it matches the truck better and makes it seem more like a classic. What year is it?

Wow! Never seen a set of 92-94 leather seats that clean before!

It's a 94 with 250k km (150k miles)... the seat bottoms were just recovered, I've already asked the upholsterer to order more hide to finish front backs and middle row.

I like it

Nice. I love the dash layout on my 94 as well. I think they look better than the 95 up.

Now that’s a solid plan. Looks sweet as is, but an LS should help her scoot along.

Subbed for progress

Lots of parts ordered... the waiting game sucks.

Finally got the pig lowered... it went down about 3" in the front, 1.5" in the already saggy back. I think I'm going to raise the front half an inch or so for an even 1" of rake.... Swapping out the big block for an LS might just do that for me.

Word on myEbay is that the LS6 cam that's going into the motor is waiting for me at the post office, the last part I was waiting for to start building the motor.
