02 has a new home !

Took delivery of this sweet meticulously maintained 02 I landed on eBay out of southern NC... Amazing how clean this thing is trucks where I live are rotted to death in 6 years ! Previous owner did the 3” leveling kit so the ass end was dragging I hate that ! I designed my own rear lift, I bought the Air-lift Ultimate 5000 kit and added their 2” spacers designed to be used with trucks having a 2” lift that give you perfect height adjustability ass end sits perfect now with 50psi and rides much better... Only thing that sucks is the 4.7 what a gutless ****, maybe I’m just use to my 600 rwhp Powerstroke idk but truck is so nice I think I’ll attempt an 05 hemi transplant... Maybe I can get Lonestar to help lol

That's a sharp looking truck!

Thank you ! Couldn’t ask for a nicer secondary vehicle for what I have invested...

Good lookin little thang. I really like the RCSB's with a little lift. I'm sure the 4.7 isn't going to win you a lot of races, but should have enough juice to get out of it's own way. Well done.

My car purchase on eBay wasn't nearly as positive. It was an 02 RCSB Chevy 4x4 with the massively underpowered 4.3 V-6. Looked pristine in the pics but arrived all scratched up with a few dings, broke fuel sending unit, and a bad fuel injection system. Had to pull the drive shaft about every other month to lube the slip yoke or it clunked like it was falling apart and if I didn't run super or a fuel additive it pinged like a coffee can full of beans..... I won't do site unseen every again.

Very nice, and a regular cab as well.

Boost that ****** lol....someone started the Eaton install years ago, got it running but never finished it out. I was always curious about what a 4.7 could so when properly motivated lol.

Swap it for a 08 and up 4.7L and then boost it. The 1st generation 4.7 is incredibly slow (235HP) meanwhile the 2nd generation is 310HP with 330 LB-FT/TQ. Boosting the 2nd gen 4.7 could get you **** tons of HP.

Thanks guys ! Oh how fun it
Would be to boost but can’t justify spending that kind of cabbage on a 4.7 ! I did check out the project Eaton and manifold adapter but that but it seemed to have never really got finished. Think I’d rather suffer through the wiring ******** of a 05 Hemi swap
