I thought about it but I don't have anywhere to park it while I was parting it out. The housing office here gives me enough crap about my truck as it is. I'm also hoping to get orders any time now and don't want to deal with a third vehicle on a cross country move. All that aside, it would have been awesome to have the LS1 and overdrive auto in the truck. Might actually get double digit mileage that way. It feels like the ball joints are giving out on my truck so while I'm replacing them, and now that I have plenty of money, I'm going to do a 3/4 drop, convert the front to disc and put sway bars on front and back. I'm also looking at putting a FCG fuel cell under the bed. I'm tired of smelling gas. I found the axle code on the rear end I pulled off yesterday and its a 3.07:1 so I ought to get a little better gas mileage.
