Good question , but it'll be there, along with the new motor. Tired of looking at it in the front of the house.

did you clean it up a little.

Nope. Looks kind of clean in the pics, but it's dirty AF! Bird shit and all!

I just ordered a bunch of parts for the motor. I'd say I ordered around 90% of the parts needed. Can't wait.

Forgot to order some motor mounts. Figured I'd better. Got some AC Delcos.
Anyone know if the 07-11 mounts work on the nbs? Just curious.

I'm getting it ready to leave Thursday. Swapped the rims over. Guess it needs to grow on me. Suspension needs to settle a little too.View attachment 247823 View attachment 247824 View attachment 247825
Not sure if I should paint those gray caps black. I know--gotta replace the GMC. Tires are heavy. They're the LT's, kevlar. Same size as before, 265/70-17.

I really like your theme on the truck. Now I don't remember the rpo code for the police package nowadays but looks like the old 9C1!
Steel rims do look killer.

What’s left to order?

edit: no the nnbs motor mounts don’t work for the NBS and you don’t want that trouble anyway. The NBS mounts never fail.

Thx guys. I'll probably just leave them on til I find something that I like more.

Thx Mark, I was just curious. I figured I should order them--just in case. You never know. I just need the knock sensors, spark plugs--pretty sure he has the gaskets. He usually gets Fel pros. Waiting on what the cam is gonna look like--but I'm pretty sure he's gonna say it's no good. Also got some header bolts.

Oh yeah, I would definitely put new mounts in, I was just saying the NNBS mounts are a bad (fluid-filled) design and fail all the time while the NBS ones are a solid mount that’s ...solid. With no issues.

On its way. Hopefully for the last time--but I think we all know better!!
