thought i'd make an official thread with more updated information. i might have to put it on ebay in a week or 2. not parting it out, unless i absolutely have to. Bills + Debt are too much and im looking at an uphill battle supporting my daughter, and i need something i wont spend $$ on.
I dont have the time or the money to devote to this project anymore. and will have to cut my losses as i probably have 20k+ easy into this project and it isnt near finished in my mind, up there i want to go all out. I am in debt and would like to be free of any Debt asap. I can say this truck is very rare as im sure you know, i'd be willing to say there are less than 10(and thats being generous) of an OBS Silverado with a LS1/T56 and mods like this IN THE WORLD. I was just about to the point of having it painted but have no money and now the time issue is pretty much forcing me to sell.. It runs @ 170* all day long(fans are on a dash switch), no cooling issues, charging issues, or fuel/oil pressure issues. sounds awesome. Total truck has 145k miles i believe, but the body is about the only thing left with that kinda mileage(and i have taken care of the major dents with new body pieces), clean title...was in a front end bumper bender before i got it...again though, clean title. i cant think of anything aside from the little things like balljoints that havent been replaced or were/are going to be. I was gonna do the lil things like balljoints etc up front but we checked them out and they are fine. Mobil 1 came out of it...and went back in...twice. I did not do this swap on my own. Luke "SLMDLT1" did most of the wiring, and other things were done by a GM Certified tech who works at the dealer down the road from me.
Downsides:
*Its unpainted.
*Truck has a/c just not hooked up.
*Door panels are off anticpating wiring my new POWER doors, but are included.
*Tailights arent working so the brake switch needs to be replaced or hardwired.
*No fuel Guage yet, but @ 21mpg/26 gallon tank just fill up every 300-400 miles as it has a 500+ mile range.
*The interior is missing a plastic piece or 2 of trim. easily accessable, but i have no $.
* Cracked windshield
if you have interest....

how much invested? ha! way too much to get it back in return.
i realize that no one ever gets what they put into something like this. i only ask what could get me close to purchasing a decent car.
motor/tranny alone go for $6,000 on ebay...and thats STOCK
tune($250), exhaust($300), custom CIA($100), SLP Maf($195), emissions delete(free).....then you got gears/posi($800 installed), autometer dash(~$500 parts alone), steering wheel($80), Alpine DVD($1000), custom T/A seats($1000 with custom brackets), new power doors and panels($1100), Cervinis SS Hood ($450), Tailgate/rollpan/tailights($300), Headlights/billet($120), Boyds($1500), and new Nittos(~$600), Spec 3 clutch($500), LS1 fans/Aluminum radiator($350), New black carpet($200)...and the little things like starter, brakes, etc...
...thats $15,300, not even counting the truck itself, and thats parts alone. not including the blood sweat and tears and labor that went into it all.
asking $10,500 negotiable, can ship it if you wish. can have it painted upon deposit and buyers request.
