Finding the short wheel base with a 5.3 is very rare. My buddy in high school had an FRC Corvette that he built an iron 408 for and put his old LS1 cam in the truck. It wasn't much but it gave it enough to be a little more peppy.

I was told it was rare truck. Even more so if I found one in black. That's what drove my search.

Removed interior to clean and install new sound deadening material.

That's a nice little rig you got there! I bet the 5.3 moves the 2wd reg cab pretty good. Should drop a 6.2 in it.

Those Tahoe wheels were also used on Avalanches too, so that may help broaden your search for some. I really like those wheels. They will look great on that truck, especially once you do the 5/7.

I'm excited to see some work on this thing. I love this generation of Chev/GMC trucks. My roommate has a black 2005 Sierra SLT crew cab with black leather and 22s. Sick truck.

I'm loving it, nice find!! I need one of those just to tow things around, I'm a collectomaniac and always find things I can fix and repair and re-sale.

Thank you. Okay okay. That should help out in my search for the other two. If I can't get my hands on them, I also have my eye on some weld renegade in a 22". The 5.3 does move! The low end torque is pretty nice.

Thank you. So am I haha. Having this truck opens the door for so much more stuff to pick up.

needs turbo

Possibility. But this is going to be a reliable daily driver for now.

This is my fathers 2000 ls rcswb with a 3/4 drop. Brought it over to get the fuel pump changed.

Very nice. Which setup are you going with?

[drew12000]

I'd been searching local craigslist for months and was able to piece a kit to using Mcgaughy drop spindles, djm springs and control arms with mostly belltech in the rear. C notch brackets and shock mounts are going to be made.

Good looking truck! I've got an 02 ECSB Sierra.

[drew12000]

Thank you! Very cool.
