Hey guys,
I bought a Chevy Silverado k2500 350 Vortec with 85,000 miles on it (138,000km). Only paid $400CAD, which is about $300USD. The truck was owned by a contracting company which plowed and salted parking lots. Body on it is quite rusty but the frame is surprisingly solid.
I'm doing a frame off restoration. So far I scratched the surface with this truck. The box is off of it, scrapped, and the cab is ready to come off as well, going to scrap, just waiting on a few parts here and there. Im going to take the cab off of my c1500 Sierra and put it on this truck. the rockers need to be done, but it's pretty solid otherwise. Bought a new box for it, just needs some paint.
Other things I have aquired for the truck:
Stainless Steel Brake lines from Inline Tube
Fenders
Holset HE351CW from a Dodge Cummins 5.9L 6000 miles
I really want to turbo this truck, but I am very inexperienced when it comes to boost. Will be asking lots of questions about this and hopefully a few guys with experience can help me out.

I'm going to put a stainless steel 3" exhaust with 3" Flowmaster Outlaws and High Flow Cats, they are law in Ontario.
A new intake is also something I would like to install.
Here's what she looked like before I ripped the front end apart
