My truck is going under the knife and I will end up with a huge surplus of parts. I will pretty much have everything I need to build a 500hp truck aside from a lift pump, gauges, and a refreshed trans. I found a 2005 rclb LLY with 200k on it. Kid says it was a shop truck and runs and drives nice. Rockers have a tiny bit of rust but otherwise it's clean. I told him $4000 as long as the balance rates are in spec. Seems like a good deal. Especially considering the amount of parts I have. Could probably do a little work and flip it for 8-10k. Am I wrong?
Considering buying a RCLB

There are LB7 sclb around here listed between 8-10k with similar miles. I think a solid investment
Nice! 4k sounds about right I picked up a ec/sb LLY 2wd 150k on it for 3k last year. Had blown head gaskets. Best buy I ever made.
I'm not looking to go crazy but that's what I was thinking. Use it to tow my truck around, still be able to go high 12s and get into work stock pulls.
If anything you could keep the regular cab as a DD so you keep the miles off your truck. I'd love to have another dmax
That's another benefit. I figure I've seen enough trucks built that I can do some tasteful mods and enjoy driving this truck daily. With the parts I've already got I should only have to put another couple grand into it to have a real quick and half decent looking truck. I guess that's all the convincing I need. I'll post pics from my driveway in the next day or two haha
I've always wanted to make my lb7 into the play toy but I always told myself I'd wait till the stock trans gives up.. and after many 13.5 passes and tons on street racing it still kicks. But none the less that RC should be fun.
I will be highly jealous! Sounds like a deal if you can get it for that and everything is in spec! :thumb:
