Project "Lot-Rot"
98 C2500, 7.4/4l80e.
Belonged to a neighbor who just let it sit and sit and sit. 5 gallons of heavily doctored Chevron Supreme (Heet, Seafoam and Lucas fuel treatment), and a new battery, it started righ up, and made it home. ![]() Almost new Michelin's from my 87 V20, and it was rolling well. Changed all the fluids, new belt and hoses, filters everywhere, and a MAF, and it's running pretty good. It gets better with every tank with Techron Fuel System additive.

Re: Project "Lot-Rot"
Very nice looking truck. What are your plans for it?

Re: Project "Lot-Rot"
Get it trustworthy enough to be able to get on the interstate, which my 87 V20 can't do with the TH400/4.56 gear.
It needs various pieces of trim here and there, and a sound system for certain. It had broken interior and exterior door handles, which I did right away. It also had a 5th wheel tailgate, so I found a good one in a yard, and cleaned it up. The bed is in pretty decent condition, minus the holes for the fifth wheel. The carpet needs replacing, I think it's too far stained to clean, though I'll give it a shot. I might put a set of Bilsteins on it, still amazed at the ride quality compared to my solid axle truck. ![]()

Re: Project "Lot-Rot"
Nice score, I need to find that, but in 4WD!
