Really like the power steering hoses, they add a high tech race look to everything else in your engine compartment.
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.

Re: My 86 build
What are the dimentions of the wooden cribbing you made to sit your truck up on? I see they were made with 2x6 and are 12" wide and 12" tall but how long are they?

Re: My 86 build
Man what an awesome build. I love builds where everything is done at home!!

I have a 87 GMC V1500 LWB and you make me wish it was 2wd so I could bag and drop it!! Guess I need to find me one to get low to the ground with.

I just got a 01 silverado ext cab 4x4 swb donor truck to do my LS swap. I am taking everything out of the 01 I can, all the wiring, fuel tank & lines, rear end, radiator, drivetrain, instrument cluster, brake booster, distribution block, steering column.. The works!! I wish I had 1/2 your fabricating skills so I could make it look good! I feel like I gotta represent the 4x4 LWB square bodys.

I even considered swapping the dash from the 01 into my 87.. Not sure about it just yet, I know I will be swapping the front seats and console/jump seat. I'm going to take as much from it as I can and fit it into the 87.

Your thread gets me pumped to do some fabbing!!

Yeah its in great shape and has tons of sentimental value, so I plan to leave it as 4x4 just with some LS powa!

Im on the hunt for a crew cab or 3+3 dually to do a drop on with bags, it will be my toy hauler.

extra 150HP... Well it's only a 4.8 haha. I bought what I thought was a 5.3 and turned out to be a 4.8. But they put this 4.8 in a 01 silverado extended cab short bed that weighs about 400lbs more than my truck does so if it made it move then I guess it will make mine move as well.. I think stock 350 tbi for my year came with 190hp 300ft/lbs torque

I really hope so it runs great. If I could figure out why my trans is in limp mode I would be good.
