Fresh Project

[mick]

Ive been getting tired of my Red Truck especially after all the drama with this new engine. I have bought a 2002 Single Cab that I am going to put the new 7.1 in. It will be a Street/Strip Truck and alot of the gear from the Red Truck will go into this Blue one including the 4 Link Rear and Wheel/Tyres. I will put the Red one back to 4x4 with a stock engine and get it all dressed up to sell. Any thoughts out there? Heres a couple of pics of the new little baby. Has a 5.3 and 50,000 miles.

Should be pretty sweet, what are you plans for the rest of the drivetrain?

Are you going to swap it all out to 8bolt? as I am not sure how much the 1500 axle will take.

Looks like you have have some fun with this one too. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

That looks more awesome everytime I see it.

I'm jealous of your new project Mick. i wanted a nice 1/2 to RCSB to lower and drop a dmax in, but with a 6 speed manual. Something fun as an everyday driver.

Best of luck on this project.:hug:

[mytmousemalibu]

I know i cant be the 1st to say, man its wierd to see a right hand drive chevy truck:rofl:

Best of luck!

 

[1lowdiesel]

thanks Steve Ill miss it too but facts overule emotions here. I just picked it up today. Flew down and drove it 1300 mile home. Parked it next to the red one and cant blieve the size difference, But when you put the tape measure under the bonnet, dims all the same ??
