Hey guys been Reading threw the Forum for a few years now...
Havent had the TIME to Really go out and search DEEEP for a project.Just opened my Shop last year ,and have been CRAZY with work ..3 weeks ago I said ENOUGH with WORK , WORK and WORK , and I Finally set out to Find a Decent Body to do a Swap on .(I needed something of My own!!!)

Found her Up in Tampa Florida about 5 hours from me , for $800 cant ask for more..

3 owners (family owned)Grandfather , Father , Son

Body has a little over 285xxx on it but NO ACCIDENTS ALL ORIGINAL PANELS
NO RUST ( except muffler lol)
From Power windows, Locks, to the Equalizer Work ~~~~~
PLANS:

6.0 Lq9 with l92 heads (E-85)

Transmission NOt SURe leaning on AUTO but no Decided YET..
Will be Driven a Few times a Week and Tow time to time......

Main Concern is get the Truck up an Going and BUILD UPON it !!!

got this over weekend , NBS belltech Drop spindles for the Front..
Will be using these along with 13" rotors and Cts-V 4 piston Calipers

Man I'm jealous. Hard to find one with no rust up north here. Especially for only 500$! T56 would be sweet but a 4l80e nice too. Depends on if you like shifting or not. Should be a sweet setup. You should do a thread on that brake setup. Good luck

Good buy you got, and great platform to start with.

Interested on how this is going to work. Have you done something like this before?

thanks Bobby

NO I havent...

Ive done a Little R&R as I had a 96 2dr tahoe that I started a Big Brake Conversion on but I sold truck before finishing...

As of now (not 100% ) spindles should bolt up to Control arms , worse Case I might have to Taper for the Ball joints , as to Caliper mounting , I have to FAB up a bracket to mount on Calipers but thats cake!

wow, never thought to convert from OBS spindles to NBS spindles. Sounds like a ton of work and then you're facing 6 lug wheel rather than 5 lug, though you'll have a bigger selection of wheels but only a few 5 spoke options. Look at the Coys 5 lugs like DBRODS runs on his truck, they're awesome looking.

dont know about a TON of work , but its a small little project in its own!!!

[Beatdown Z]

Positive attitude FTW! Looks like a fun project.
