My GMT800, 2003 RCLB 2500HD Build / Rebuild!

Every truck build of yours gives me so much damn motivation.
If only my wallet would let me act on that motivation

I appreciate the kind words!

I believe I'm around $5500 all-in on this truck. So, not too bad across a period of time.

Nice build! I'm a big fan of GMT 800s. I also love the long beds/2500+ for hauling.

How did you get along by not having a long bed truck before? Trailers? Looks like all your Dodge trucks on the first photo are short beds...

I actually haven't owned a longbed truck since I traded my 2015 2500HD in, in 2017 on my first Ram. I've either used my car trailer for long stuff, or just made due with what was available (mostly 6'5" beds).

Well I'm all caught up...I like this one.

OEM/OEM + .....100% agree

Wow, this thing looks great! Of course we'd expect no less out of anything you build lol

Always been my idea of a perfect HD RCLB to have cab lights. So after reviewing kits that were closest to OEM as possible, I finally pulled the trigger and spent 2 hours measuring, marking, moving and reviewing other trucks. Before finally gathering the guts to drill the cab and make the lamps permanent.

Also swapped in LED headlight bulbs at this point.

Do you have a part number for those cab light? I think my 06 2500 Suburban may look good with those...How did you wire them up?

This is the kit I used.

Apparently you can't post Amazon links on here, which is Fu cking stupid.

I built my own wiring harness and connected it to the factory junction block on the passenger side of the dash. So that way they flash with the keyless entry and operate correctly with the headlamps.

Awesome! Thank you!
