Hello all!

I have an old Ford truck that had the motor lock up last night. That was the second 302 I've put in it and it may be time to give up on this truck. It's old and rusted out.

So, I'm in the market for a used truck. I'm here to learn about GM trucks with LSx type motors. Are there some links that might help me learn what motors came in each year truck?

I'm looking for the lightest truck that came with a LSx style motor. I want good gas mileage and good performance in a truck I'll be driving to work every day. I assume that would be a regular cab short bed? I want to spend as little as possible for a nice good reliable daily driver with a LSx motor. What year should I look for? What was the first year the LSx type motors came in GM trucks?

One more question, what is a "NBS" Silverado?

Thanks!
Chris
