be a jerk and swap the motors out before you return it. ha!

I've got an interesting plan for the interior.
Gutting it all out once again.
Gonna do the LMC magazine vinyl flooring in black, just for the front (ends at the passanger bench in the rear) Then everything behind the passanger seats siding/flooring will be gutted Then I'm gonna spray line x on everything but the windows and ceiling behind the passanger seats. Then I'll be doing a cargo net from the floor to the ceiling directly behind the passenger seats. It'll be my compromise to a truck bed =D. The only wire I'll be running to the rear will be my coaxial cable to my CB antenna and if there are more I can easily fix that by hiding it in some split wire loom tubing. I wanna think shit out this time, make it functional and nice looking/sounding/fitting/aging.

I wish motor and tranny swap lolz.
After its all said and done I prefer my 5.7L vortec to a 5.3L
And I prefer the 4L60 & 80e trannys to the 6L80 & 90e's..
Now this is saying that I don't prefer to do engine mods!
Commence bashing.

I think a LQ4 backed by a 4L80e swap in a 2 door or a rcsb is perfect I've now seen it done a dozen times and had the chance to ride in / experience them for myself.

ive always liked the diesel bumpers, should be a good fit. guess we will end up with matching rear bumpers at some point. how long did it take them to build and deliver the front bumper (or do i even want to know... haha)?

welcome back!!

Whoops I totally forgot, I always wanted to do a custom front end with the KMA rear bumper! Good thing I remembered.
Wanna look like T-baggs front end. Anyone think it would look sweet like I do?

Hes got escalade front bumper & grille / hood / with escalade front panels & flares? To much work? Were looking at like $1000.00 in good parts.

easy, just need a donor and a paint job.

 

[blackcoffee]

True. Hummm Donor anyone?! Might as well do the paint how I want it then,

desert tan / black

OR I could be more basic and functional which is 99% most likely how its gonna be and just get my black diesel bumper and my KMA rear eventually, and make the truck look the best it can, remove the old roof rack / repaint the grille / paint the rear bumper black for now / do the interior like I was saying etc etc etc.

Part # for primered diesel bumper 39-5604. Price $100.00 can't beat that! I'm biting the bullet! Part # for front vinyl flooring premolded in black 39-2904-BL price $179.00 also a pretty good price. So I could get both for $$ 351.65 W/Shipping. Sounds like a deal and with painting my rear bumper black plus the paint for the front I'm looking at around $400.00 for a major difference to the hoe!

Well hold up ... I need to powder coat that front bumper if I ever expect it to last... Right?
