Well after looking at a lot of trucks my wife finally found the truck she wanted. She has been looking at K-5 Blazers. After a long discussion we decided it would be really hard to restore two trucks at the same time expecially when I'm not really making any progress on my truck do to all the 60-70 hr weeks. She decided on this 2001 GMC Z-71 with 12,700 miles not a nick or scratch, 5.3 Vortec, 3.73 gears. the truck is loaded even rear defrost. A old man had bought it and just never drove it.

Man if i tried to lower her new 4wd she would kick my butt. But all in all it would be cheeper than a new SS and with a ATI super charger it would have more power.

Since we already have a 77LWB and a 87SWB both are no where completed I sure didnt want another project.

N2TRUX That is a pretty clean stepside just enough to look good but not too much so its trashy.
