Not a bad lookin truck man nice color! First things I'd do are tune everything up. Look up the plenum thread stickied in the engine and performance section. Get the truck up to ***** first before ya worry about lift and tires and such.

Never heard that before but thats not to say it hasn't been done. I dont see the point in a 5.9 bore when you could just swap a 5.9 in. I'd invest in a good trans before ya get the super charger, a super charged magnum will shred the stock 46re.

Fix **** on the truck first, get it reliable, THEN think about mods.


It's that simple.

People buy trucks with the intention of modding them right off the bat, then get irritated when it wants more money for repairs.

Don't part out the SS/T if you were thinking about it, those are pretty rare and can fetch a decent chunk of cash when restored.

Plus they look badass.


LMC Truck is now selling reproduction dashes and bezels for all 2nd gens now.

It only has 50k on the motor and transmission. Wasn't planning on it. Always liked the look and besides the paint its unmolested.
