WOW...great present for yourself , congrats !!

tubbedII · 11-18-2011, 01:49 PM

Just read the whole thread. Great job on the truck! Love the color too.

You asked about what to do to the grill for a little more pop, and I always liked a little black outside of the headlight bezels.

Happy b-day too!

Haha, yea... I never thought I would splurge for it but I guess things change! Plus I had 2 good excuses. One being a birthday gift to myself, and two I needed something pretty to mount my new(to me) LS/T56 combo onto.

you know, I was just thinking that too! I can spray them with some Plasti-Dip and if I change my mind, just peel it off.

Just put some electrical tape on it and stand back to see if you like it first...but I just looked up that Plasti-Dip stuff...never heard of it before...pretty cool!

What's the plans for the rear now that you're gonna be dm'd?

The rears are going to stay pretty much the same... I dont really want to cut the bed, but one day if I decide to do something a little custom, I might tweak around with raising the floor

Not until March. :/ Im overseas until then, so I worked it out with Nate to get it there right after I get home. Now Im just doing all the footwork to get the swap stuff figured out.

BACKYARD88 · 12-02-2011, 10:20 AM

That's cool. I'll stay tuned

nibs · 12-03-2011, 02:20 PM

So a little change came my way as how Im gonna do some things with the truck. Instead of running a T56 behind the LQ4, Im have decided to go with a 4L60E. It will be alot cheaper and quicker to get done since I dont have to install another pedal, clutch slave cyl, and figure out where the shifter is going to go.

I also ran across this company in an issue of HotRod Magazine...
http://visualimpactperformancesystems.com/index.html

They make a very simple, clean, and somewhat more affordable(still overpriced in my eyes) serpentine setup. Plus it comes with all the accessories I needed anyways.

Whatcha think?

nibs · 12-03-2011, 04:16 PM

Or I found that the March setup is the same price... Hmmmmmmm I hate decisions like this

Bennett68C10 · 12-03-2011, 05:04 PM

If they are the same price I would go with the March setup. Looks nicer to me.

nibs · 12-03-2011, 05:59 PM

I agree with you all...

Damn setup is right at $2000. I cant understand why

**67cheby** · 12-03-2011, 05:19 PM

i like the look of the March system better
