The Mac' Attack

After selling my 2008 GMC 2500 I bought this 05' Z71 CCSB with full intentions of building a full-on prerunner. I'm doing a 4wd Long Travel complete with one-off spindles and upper/lower control arms.

So far, these are my current mods

Nelson Tune
Calspeed LT's
K&N Drop-in (No CAI out where I drive)
3" SI/SO 18" Case Magnaflow

Day I got it.

Calspeed LT's - These were fun to put on...

Cut out my spindles - 1.5" Plate steel

Finished cut, very clean and hardly any slag from the CNC

Progression of spindle design and build - OEM on the far left, initial template in the middle, and soon to be new spindle on the right

New Kings! (I've had these about a couple months already, thanks Jess'!)

Last weekend we accomplished a Jig for the CNC and bored out the center for the axle using the Bridgeport'.

Oh, that's nothin. Just wait until I get pics/video up of us running the spindles in the Mitsu-Seiki 4-axis CNC Mill.

New wheels showed up yesterday!

Picked up this gem this weekend for a steal - I want to put a carb'd 5.3 in it so bad but I think it will have to settle for the 98' Vortec 5.7 that's sitting in my friends shop... can't beat free. It has an Olds' 307 V8 w/ Turbo 350 and some sketchy fab work. Has a lot of money in parts though, I'll have this going way faster than my 05' Silvy.
