Good afternoon, I am new to this forum. A few days ago I was feeling the itch for a fullsize 1500 again my s10s are fun but I need more room.
I was crusing through the classifieds and found a decent builder that was not ridiculously priced like many I have seen. The owner was an awesome guy he told me what I consider everything about this 1500. 1996 work truck
The good:
A/C is COLD
It drives very smooth
No broken glass
No major body work needed
Runs good
4L60e seems to be happy with life
The bad:
It is a 4.3
BYPASSED heater core
Manual doors
Base 1500
Interior hates life
The seat is WELL sat in
Rubber floor mat/carpet
No tilt wheel
Blue interior
Long bed
Single headlight model
With all that said, as soon as I saw it, she felt like a family member already.. I want a street cruiser that will be fun.
My plan of attack:
New grille and lights w/ LEDs
New seats from a Tahoe/Suburban
New carpet from ACC
Spindles, springs and flip kit
Cowl hood
Roll pan
Hidden hitch
5.3 swap with Zo6 cam
4L80e HD shift kit
Convert to SWB (not 110% sure)
ADD positrac unit
Longtube headers, magnaflow mufflers
Either 18" or 20" wheels
Small audio system (gotta have music)
