The gauges arnt pinned correctly so they are not working at this time.
She is visually back together but still needs a few hours of finishing.

JohnC · 04-09-2009, 01:59 PM

The finishing touches are what take the longest. It's always just one more thing!

Oh wait I'll just touch up that, oh wait I forgot that, oh wait.....

JohnC · 04-10-2009, 03:12 PM

That is the same engine that is in my 03 Sierra 1500HD, but it doesn't sound ANYTHING like that!

gmclowsierra · 04-11-2009, 07:35 PM

The seats i purchased (96 rear tahoe) didnt work. At a glance i thought they would but when i got them home it was totally all wrong with the flip up seats that the tahoe have.

Thanks

Cherub · 05-21-2009, 02:16 PM

purchased some Coys for my baby but the polished finish wasnt all that great so i sold them and im going to try a different color Coys grey with polished lip

This is what the interior looks like right now. The truck was purchased with a Polyurethane dash. We all know the fit ment on those arnt all that great. So that came out and i need to order something else along with door panels, gauge panels, seat cover and seat belts.

But this is the whats next on the chopping block before all the interior gets ordered and goes in. Since im no body guy with no tools, im going to have to find someone that can patch these first. both passenger and driver side has these.

kainzien · 05-25-2009, 01:29 AM

good lookin project..

lnwlfbsktbll · 05-26-2009, 11:34 PM

sharp truck i just bought an lq9 outta an '07 2500hd to go in my '87 and im looking for a 6l80 now did that fuel pump just go in the stock tank or did you have to get a fuel cell?

You will have to source a sending unit from an 87 and up truck (GM 25090846). Combine that with an AC Delco EP 241 fuel pump. Then it will drop right into your existing tank.

3r!c84 · 05-27-2009, 03:20 PM

what is that cold air intake made for? its a perfect fit

pcmcobra · 05-27-2009, 04:18 PM

ya, that intake fits great, got a part #? Might need to ditch my setup and do that!

Cherub · 05-27-2009, 04:32 PM

I picked it up from a guy on the LS1tech forum. Its a Volant intake with a KN filter for a truck i believe. I didnt get a part number.

lnwlfbsktbll · 05-28-2009, 12:53 AM

so what kinda mileage is everybody getting with a 6.0 swap and what gears are you running?

Nice work Cherub. I've often thought of doing a swap like this in my truck. Is that you TBSS in the background?

Thanks man its still needs some work, But it one of the two major things i wanted to do to this truck.

lnwlfbsktbll · 05-29-2009, 06:22 PM

st1 · 05-30-2009, 06:35 AM
