    I built a bagged HB when I was 18 and always wanted to put a 5.3 in it... Jealous!

    picked up the tranny today, a bill I wish I didn't have to pay but alas, the 4L60E is now upgraded to a 4L70E 5 gear planetaries for the low/reverse and OD sets. this should be a nice stout tranny.

    Normally I would say that trans is weak, but considering the weight of the vehicle shouldn't be an issue.

    Bad ass truck! Interestingly enough when I was walking my dog the other day I passed by a Nissan Hard Body and the though popped into my head! Good luck on the build.
