In the middle of everything, I placed an order with CPP for their 12" four wheel disc conversion kit. I kinda wanted the 13" kit, but it only comes with a modular 2" drop spindle. I needed to keep the stock height spindle to work with the front airbag setup already in place. I also ordered their show stopper hydra-stop booster, tubular upper a-arms and 5 lug axles. And I get a free t-shirt out of the deal.

I sourced an Eaton posi-trac unit off eBay to replace the gov-lock I'd previously installed. I'll switch out the gear to a 3.73 while I'm at it which will work better with the other major purchase I made this morning... I bit the bullet and bought the LS3 Connect and Cruise package from Radley Chevrolet in Fredericksburg, VA. They had it on sale and with free shipping, no sales tax and a $500 rebate I figured the time was right.

So all that talk early on of building a rat truck is officially over and done with, if you hadn't figured that out by now.

Great choice!
