Hey Red Im glad to hear you got yourself a new truck and Im also glad to hear you already got a motor for it. Thats a gearhead for ya.
Hey Gear if you cant get the truck done in time for basic then its ok. You wont be driving anytime soon. What branch and job are you goin in? Well gettin back to the swap is pretty much identical for all trucks and suburbans alike. Since its been done over and over theres lots of info on the forum and if you stick around long enough you will see that alot of people come in and post threads saying that they are " thinkin about doing a swap and blah..blah...blah" but a few weeks later they miracously dissapear off the face of the planet. So unless you got started on the project and are stuck somewhere, then you are better off reading previous post. Not too be rude just been realistic. Good luck.
