Welll, Been kinda deep in the old crew cab as I bought a roller so I can reassemble it and get it rolling. Bought another 6L for $250. Yesterday picked up the 4L80E that was mated to it for $175 haha. I did manage to finish cleaning and etching the topside of the frame/x members behind the cab, I have to finish refurbing one leaf spring, and do the underside of the frame/paint it.

Anybody have info on the 80E swap for the GMT400 2WDs? I saw the writeups and such on the 4x4

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

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
