After having a 72 super cheyenne in high school and selling it after getting a new graduation car 23 years later I’m going to build a truck to enjoy with the family — found a 71 shortbed with a 6.0 from a trailblazer ss and 4l60e. Just got it home from Michigan Monday Plans are to go black/white with a 4/6 drop

plan is paint it black and white with the cab being black .Also a 5/7 drop and will be putting on a new cab because I want the drip rail on it --already have Dakota digital gauges,vintage air,wilwood brakes,cpp upper and lower tubular a arms,along boyds efi tank among numerous other goodies ordered and on the way--will be using a snowden custom seat and American racing burnout heritage series custom shop wheels with 20x8.5 in front and 20x10 on the rear

One suggestion take that pile of crap 4L60E and give it its last rights.Best tras for the money is the 4L80E with the TCI harness its a plug and play system.

The 4L60E has a krap load of problems.

The 4l80E No Problems Plus if your going with the 6.0 motor why not best motor should have the best Transmission

I actually mistyped. It’s a 4l70e from an 07 trailblazer ss as is the 6.0. Is this a better trans or would you still go with the 80 ?

Nice find. Looks great already. Did I read that right that you replacing the cab? If so is that one for sale? I’m only 90 minutes north of you.

No actually using a donor cab that the drip rails were on and grafting those pieces to this cab and putting on a new goodmark roof skin
