2001si3rr@'s Garage

I'll start off with the truck that started it all. All I wanted was an exhaust then one thing lead to another and we have my old 2001 Sierra!

It was a 4.8L I put on a Flowmaster exhaust, Volant CAI, Comp cam, Comp springs, Yank TT3000, LS1 E-Fans, 160 T-stat, TB Bypass, with a Nelson Performance Tune. For looks I did the Denali front end conversion to complete the Sierra C3 look.

We ended up selling the 2001 Sierra to buy a larger family ride, and purchased a 2004 Tahoe LT, which is still my wifes daily driver.

Later I picked up a 2000 Silverado ECSB and worked more towards the looks department of it. I did the full billet Tahoe grill shell, clear marker lights, 2005 Silverado tails, paint matched door handles with tailgate handle and bezel, paint matched bed caps, paint matched SS tailgate spoiler. I also did a K&N CAI and fabbed up hung stock D-Max exhaust under it.

After cleaning up the 2000 Silverado I ran across my 2001 Z71. Here are some pictures of it the day I bought it.

Since then I have added a 6 inch Pro Comp drop bracket lift, 3 inch BL, 35x12.5 Xtream AT's, 17 inch Pro Comp 6089's, full billet Tahoe grill shell, TYC clear markers, 2005 Silverado taillights, painted tailgate handle. It also has Banks Monster exhaust, 2005 E-Fans with Nelson harness, K&N drop in filter, TB bypass, Yukon 4.88 gears front and rear, Detroit True Trac rear, Mag Hytech rear cover, and tune by Cowl327.

Here it is before the 3 inch BL and grill work:

Here's my 1971 Chevy C10, that I will be working on once we get back to Texas. It's an old beater that I picked up awhile back. It runs and drives just fine just needs work ($$$$$$)! When we were in Texas I kept it on the road for a backup driver, parts hauler, and just good ole truck. I have done new inner and outer rockers, cab corners, and core support which was all the bad spots in it, now just need to finish it. It was originally a sb 350 with 3 speed on column and manual everything. It's still sb 350 but swaped out the 3 speed for a th350, also added power brakes and power steering.

My son and I have big plans for it: a little drop, custom wheels and of course a fat back tire setup, a LS based engine (6.0) with a overdrive tranny, heads, cam, a clean and simple paint job (prolly keep it the original color light blue with white cab just add white to the bottom below the factory moldings), interior, and who knows.....

Heres my only digital picture of it:

Currently the 71' is sitting in my in-laws barn back in Texas and they drive her occasionally. When I get back to Texas the Summer of 2012 my son and I will start tearin' her down and building her up!

The black Sierra was a nice ride, I really regretted getting ride of her. I was deployed for 6 months to pay for everything I did to her. Not 100% but I believe I had around $5K into it on top of the cost of the truck...
