    thought i'd make an official thread with more updated information. i might have to put it on ebay in a week or 2. not parting it out, unless i absolutely have to. Bills + Debt are too much and im looking at an uphill battle supporting my daughter, and i need something i wont spend $$ on.

    I dont have the time or the money to devote to this project anymore. and will have to cut my losses as i probably have 20k+ easy into this project and it isnt near finished in my mind, up there i want to go all out. I am in debt and would like to be free of any Debt asap. I can say this truck is very rare as im sure you know, i'd be willing to say there are less than 10(and thats being generous) of an OBS Silverado with a LS1/T56 and mods like this IN THE WORLD. I was just about to the point of having it painted but have no money and now the time issue is pretty much forcing me to sell.. It runs @ 170* all day long(fans are on a dash switch), no cooling issues, charging issues, or fuel/oil pressure issues. sounds awesome. Total truck has 145k miles i believe, but the body is about the only thing left with that kinda mileage(and i have taken care of the major dents with new body pieces), clean title...was in a front end bumper bender before i got it...again though, clean title. i cant think of anything aside from the little things like balljoints that havent been replaced or were/are going to be. I was gonna do the lil things like balljoints etc up front but we checked them out and they are fine. Mobil 1 came out of it...and went back in...twice. I did not do this swap on my own. Luke "SLMDLT1" did most of the wiring, and other things were done by a GM Certified tech who works at the dealer down the road from me.

    Downsides:

    *Its unpainted.
    *Truck has a/c just not hooked up.
    *Door panels are off anticpating wiring my new POWER doors, but are included.
    *Tailights arent working so the brake switch needs to be replaced or hardwired.
    *No fuel Guage yet, but @ 21mpg/26 gallon tank just fill up every 300-400 miles as it has a 500+ mile range.
    *The interior is missing a plastic piece or 2 of trim. easily accessable, but i have no $.
    * Cracked windshield


    if you have interest....

    The parts that are new are: Starter, Brakes, Clutch, Shocks, Springs, Drivetrain, Rear End, Hood, Qtr Panel, Tailgate, Tailights, Steering wheel, Gauges(autometers), GM Vortec Fuel Pump, Aeromotive AFPR

    how much invested? ha! way too much to get it back in return.
    i realize that no one ever gets what they put into something like this. i only ask what could get me close to purchasing a decent car.

    motor/tranny alone go for $6,000 on ebay...and thats STOCK
    tune($250), exhaust($300), custom CIA($100), SLP Maf($195), emissions delete(free).....then you got gears/posi($800 installed), autometer dash(~$500 parts alone), steering wheel($80), Alpine DVD($1000), custom T/A seats($1000 with custom brackets), new power doors and panels($1100), Cervinis SS Hood ($450), Tailgate/rollpan/tailights($300), Headlights/billet($120), Boyds($1500), and new Nittos(~$600), Spec 3 clutch($500), LS1 fans/Aluminum radiator($350), New black carpet($200)...and the little things like starter, brakes, etc...

    ...thats $15,300, not even counting the truck itself, and thats parts alone. not including the blood sweat and tears and labor that went into it all.

    asking $10,500 negotiable, can ship it if you wish. can have it painted upon deposit and buyers request.

    my bad. That was STSSilverado that was talking about buying one of those E55s.

    Get full coverage on it with an agreed upon value for customizations. Then bring it down here to Grand Prairie Texas and park in on Jefferson street. You'll have no truck in 30 minutes and a big fat insurance check within two weeks.

    If I were to post a picture of my truck we probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two besides I still dont have a motor or trans. I have the same hood. My front clip and bed are blue and the cab is red. Good luck getting what you want for it. I know that it is tough selling a truck that you have put that much work into.
