Hello CT.com!
Just wanted to introduce my self and my new project! Just purchased tonight! Can't wait to get it home, it doesn't currently have a motor or trans but soon will. The cab appears to be in good shape. This will be my daily driver, some day soon I hope.

Here is a short list of things I need to research and will be asking about. My budget is around $7K.

5.3L swap. Anyone seen 57 specific chassis fitment info?
Front suspension upgrade. should I switch to coils?
want to do power discs and power steering
Its been converted to 6 lug. School me on this.
A/C install. daily driver in Phoenix, its a must!
