Must Sell Truck & Parts
My circumstances have changed and I need to trade my truck for a smaller vehicle. The new HOA requires us to park in the garage and I don't have room for this large of a vehicle.

I have lots of parts I would like to sell off the truck before I sell the truck, unless someone wants the entire package.

There are a couple of photos of the truck shown on the Nelson Performance "Customer Rides" site Nelson Performance - Customer Vehicles

Currently the list of parts are as follows:
- American Racing Wheels: 18x8 Archer
- Toyo Proxy Tires: Front 255x55x18 Rear 285x55x18 (1/2 tread left)
- Painted Bed Rail Covers with Integrated Tailgait Spoiler (Very Subtle)
- Roll Top Bed Cover (Manual Rolling Mechanism with integrated light)
- Bed Rug - Carpeted Bed Liner
- I'm going to keep the stereo pieces unless someone REALLY wants them
Current Truck Modifications:
- 6.0L LQ4 from a 2004 2500HD Truck (Approx 50K on Motor)
- Built Transmission (This is not in the best shape and will need to be re-built if the truck is going to be raced)
- 42lbs Marine Injectors
- Auxilary Fuel Pump
- Nelson Tuning (of course)
- Lowered Suspension Front 2.5" Rear 4"
- Large Radiator
- Electric Fans from Tahoe
- Nelson Fan Wiring Harness (of course)
- Gutted Cats (Still passes inspection)
- The Other Guys Headers
- 7 Chamber Flowmaster
- Factory Transmission Towing Package with Trans Cooler
- Rear Air Bags to assist the leaf springs (Great for Towing or carrying a load)
- Cadillac Guage cluster with transmission temp guage
There are currently just short of 110k miles on the truck. The oil has always been changed with Mobile 1 synthetic. The transmission & Differential has Amsoil.

This truck still looks georgous and drives perfectly! I'll accept any reasonable offer but would like to get $8,000 for all of it.

Unfortunatly, I was the one that moved. The HOA has the same rules it always had. I was hopefull that the truck would fit in the garage well, but it doesn't.

The whipple has been removed from the truck, but the 6.0 with the cam runs really strong. (grin)

I have been around. Sold my CPA firm, Tried to move to Italy, Gave up on Italy, Got a job in Austin, Bought a new home downtown in Austin. bla bla bla.

I started instructing motorcycle riding at the racetrack in San Marcos and haven't spent much time on the truck in a while.

Glad to hear all is well. Italy would bum you out anyway so be thankful its a place to visit and you don't have to live there. :thumb: Just drive a few miles up I-35 and you can visit Italy any day of the week, just south of Waxahachie. :laugh:

I moved to the neighborhood knowing it was one of the rules. The developer is in partnership with the City of Austin on this one. I could fight, but I doubt it would be worth it in the long run.

In the meantime, I'm trying to decide what to replace my truck with. I've been considering an S-10 with an LS-1 conversion. (grin)

Willing to trade it for an LS7 long block

My wife is in development so we have been all over Austin in the last several years. Right now we are living at Mueller (the old airport).
