Thanks... im just getting some small stuff right now... that way right when the truck gets paid off, all ill need is the engine and tranny for that sucker and ill be ready (well so to speak i know i will need a few things). I am still debating on the driveshaft... denny's nos ready is cheaper than hd aluminum, plus the steel shafts have the break or twist replacement warranty??? im not sure... and do you know of any good aftermarket alternators for the ls1? thanks!
