Welcome from Alaska.

Looks like a great project.  It ought to be a screamer w/ the LS- and 4L80E combo!  5.3, 6.0, or 6.2 liter?  The LS- swap seems to be more and more popular.  There are several members on here that are working on or have completed a similar swap including the site owner, Chris Lucas aka Capt. Kaos.

Keep us posted.

Customized by rust.

Haven't really kept up with it I buy and trade so much. I pulled the motor and trans out of my 98 Camaro and decided to put it into this truck but changing a few things on the motor from when it was in the Camaro.

Nice choice of wheels this looks to be a awesome build :-)

What's under the hood??? If you have to ask maybe we shouldn't race...

Nice progress. Looking good.
Maybe my wife and kids will let me go with a modern wheel/tire one day.
Keep up the good work.

Well got my intake,new heads on and finished my exhaust and got my tank powder coated and fuel pump mounted. Now I'm waiting on my Ez EFI 2.0 and a few other things and it will be close to firing up.
