Slow progress on a delivery driver budget but it's getting there!
New control arms, calipers, brake hoses, rotors, wheel bearings, shocks, tie rods and adjustment sleeves, pitman and idler arms, sway bar bushings and end links, shocks. Almost a complete new front end.

Front end complete and back from alignment! Calipers weren't bad but only cost $17 and were ready for paint so why not get them.

Still looking for a replacement steering shaft to replace this one with a torn boot.

Kept trying to decide if I wanted to build the 350 that's in my truck or LS swap it. Spent too much to change my mind now. Found a complete running tahoe I can trade the engine out of my truck for the complete swap

collecting more parts. I traded some parts from one of my old cars for this rear end. It's a Ford 9" with some stopping power. I'm a Subaru guy and my grandpa loved modified cars so I have no problem sticking a Ford rear under my GM.
Next I'm going to pick up the engine for the LS swap on Thursday.

Found my starting motor. $360 including a $75 core and tax. Going to start the tear down. First couple motors had holes in them. This one turned over like it should and there are no holes in it.

Got the LS all torn down. Was going to order a big cam (Truck Norris) and valve springs but got sandblaster/blast cabnit instead. I already have a powdercoat system so no I can clean and powder coat my truck parts.
