Dang....if you weren't 18 hours away I'd probably come get it off your hands.
Sure would like to see you get it going though

I was afraid you were gonna say somethin like that.
Wow......that is effing tempting....I'd have to figure out a way to come up with the rest of the money but let me think about it.
You really wanna get rid of this thing don't you?

it is just aggravating. I know it will be a great truck, but with the mortgage, car payments, and everything else, I dont have the time or money to work on it.
I figure if you or I or whoever, doesnt want to mess with the wiring, $300 for a standalone 5 wire harness, and it will be done. then the gauges need wired and the 1 wire for the TCC lockup.
Earlier I started thinkin bout what this truck needs and I came up with some questions...
So these aren't hooked up right now?
Are the speedo output and volt meter wires still in the 02 harness?
Are the coolant temp and oil pressure wires still left from the 94 harness?
The fuel gauge wiring was left untampered with right?
Is the AC hooked up and working?
Speedo output is there, not sure what volt meter wires you are referring to. not many wires were removed from the harness, only things that I KNEW werent going to be used were removed.
Coolant was screwed up completely when I bought the truck, they melted the sender and wire, then hacked it up trying to get it to work, so it was deleted. I will have to check, but I think I accidently deleted the oil pressure on the truck side. I was kicking myself when I couldnt find it before.
Fuel gauge worked up until I dropped the tank, I am 99% sure it is a ground, I will get it working before anything happens though.
AC is notched, compressor installed, need lines made from compressor to condensor and to the evap. I have the full AC system from the 2002, so they just need put together. The AC worked with the TBI, so I am sure it will work again once lines are made.
Like I said, the major stuff is done, but I want to make you aware of everything, and I understand if at any time you want to back out. I just want to answer any questions I can to ensure you get as much information as you need.

Here are some more details on it:
2002 Silverado 5.3/4L60E
cleaned the trans, painted aluminum with engine enamel
cleaned engine/components, everything was painted. aluminum was painted aluminum, cast iron was painted black, both with engine enamel. it looks great. everything from pan to block to accessories to brackets
painted the engine bay frame with enamel.
trans sits in stock position, so stock driveshaft works.
column shifter works with the 4L60E
unmodified 2002 silverado manifolds work with no mods and no mods to frame
uses 2002 silverado y-pipe unmodified (minus cutting out the cats)
2002 silverado air intake tubing, airbox fitted
2002 silverado radiator, overflow, pressurized system with no cap on the rad, it is on the overflow just like it was in the silverado
battery and tray moved to the driver's side
silverado was equipped with towing package, so my truck has the trans lines going to the radiator, then out into the factory 02 silverado aux trans cooler, then to the trans. also has the aux p/s cooler mounted to the radiator front, however it seems there is a blockage in it and it blew the FACTORY line off and tweaked the line. I bypassed it with compression fittings and hard line for now, unsure if I will hook the cooler back up or not.
i can get more pics if wanted

I'd be interested in more pics.
What else does the truck need? How are the brakes, steering, suspension? Ball joints, u joints? What does the interior need?
i drove the truck for a while, never had to do any maintenance on it. Brakes and steering felt good, no drag in the steering or anything. Never heard any clunks or banging.
interior is in very good shape, it does need cleaning, and the plastic/rubber handle on the driver's door is gone (the part that you pull the door shut with once you get in).
Truck has cruise (I put in the 2002 silverado cruise box, but I kept the 94 one just in case it doesnt work, even though the plug is the same and it is identical outside), power windows/locks, split rear window.
