    1995 Silverado K1500 father/son build

    Just retired from the military. I’ve only been working as a contractor for coming up on 3 years. But I can’t complain too much about the travel and overtime. It’s 100% what’s funding my ability to do these stupid expensive over the top projects. Military retirement, plus military disability...

    Sounds like you’ve got a good project going on yourself. And yeah, I get it about the street performance trucks. It’s not usually my thing either. But it’s something new and different. Not to mention unexpected. Ever since I saw this done on a few episodes of Power Nation I decided that I had to...

    If you cared to count, you would now see 32 splines on the input shaft part! $650 later. Building something like this is stupid expensive.

    Same here. I’m trying as much as possible to stick with mostly factory Chevrolet stuff. It would definitely be going faster if I didn’t have 10 other household projects going on at the same time.

    Usually the sport truck thing isn’t my thing either. But the high powered AWD thing is. I guess we’ll see. But it definitely will be different from most other trucks out there.

    I’m happy to hear that you like your lower gears. For small tires the gears I got should give me quite a bit of bottom end grunt, along with a decent, maybe 2800rpm stall, converter. That will help make up for the fact that my engine should make most of it’s power in the mid range to top end.

    People don’t seem to be excited for my new direction. Oh well, I’m not doing it to make anyone else happy. It’ll be better when I’m posting pictures of actual progress, not just parts. I literally have everything I need for the the front and rear regear as well as lowering, except for the...

    1995 Silverado K1500 father/son build

    I have to admit, I liked the look of the 33’s better. I’ve always been a lifted 4WD guy and not a lowered sport truck guy. But I really wanted to do this AWD swap/build. Worst case, if I don’t like it, I should be able to sell it for a pretty decent amount and build something else. The tires...

    1995 Silverado K1500 father/son build

    Ok, I know that I’ve been the king of indecision and buying parts but not making any real progress. But I finally think that I have a game plan figured out and a way ahead to start making real actual progress. I didn’t like the look of the NP149 transfer case that I pulled that had way too many...

    I also decided that I wanted a newly rebuilt NP149 transfer case including a new viscous coupler since I plan on running so much power through it. So I picked this one up off of eBay.

    I also noticed that it has red coil packs on it. So I’m thinking that someone added MSD coil packs at some point.

    1995 Silverado K1500 father/son build

    Took 6 hours. But I had my 16yo bring 2 buddies to help and to learn manly stuff. Since they consider themselves gear heads even though the most they’ve done (besides my son) is replace headlight or tail light assemblies! Lol But now I have a fancy 6.0 that I need to tear down and rebuild. I...

    Got the front clip off. The motor mount bolts are being a huge pain in the ass though.
