    Thanks for the welcomes!!! That sounds cool RPM, I know I'll be working but not sure how late so keeping fingers crossed. I've got my old project truck that never materialized so I think I've finally decided I'm gonna part it out to fund my 5.3L swap, I should be able to get $1500 out of it, then I'm gonna try to pick up a motor from CL to avoid shipping but I can get one from LKQ, but then you have to find all the acc's and harness which I know all that little stuff will eat up my whole budget.
    A lot of rappers are from around here, "OH YEAH!"

    I need to read the for sale rules and see, maybe I can put the old project truck for sale and some other soul may want to do the LSx swap???

    In the pics I put up here I had the 17" polished Yukon denali wheels with the 265/70 17s I think, then the 23"s in the avatar pic which lasted a week, I hated the ride. I traded for some 5 spoke chrome 20"s which I haven't a picture of at the moment. I also sold the bed-cover, functionally it was great but I didn't like that it looked to raise the rear profile of the truck so I got rid of it. I got the 17" Yukon wheels from CL for $80, man do I miss those!!! It came with the chrome-clad steel 17" which I really didn't like.

    Here's a pic I used GIMP2 on, I'm not very good with it, just messing around.
