Not a SUV, but a GM..99 RCSB build

[Nickleahy23]

Well picked this up yesterday. 4.8, auto trans, 4x4. Interior is mint after cleaning it up. Body needs rockers but the rest is solid. Picked it up for $800. Has new brakes all around, new u joints as well. Going to be a fairly slow build depending on funds..

Short term plans-
Fix small things like door handles, windows and blower motor resistor
Change fluids
Replace rockers and get rid of the rest of the rust
Plasti dip black
Tint
4/6 drop with spindles,keys, and flip kit
New balljoints, tie rods, pitman and idler arm
New shocks
BB tune, intake and exhaust

Long term plans-Summer 2013 most likely
TBSS replicas in gunmetal
Denali style grille and headlights

Future plans-who knows when
Built 6.0 with 4l80e, 14 bolt rear end. I if I end up selling my tahoe, i may take the built 4l65e out of it and throw it in the truck. Its held up to a 6.0 in my heavy tahoe, so it should be alright in the light rcsb

lol its actually solid as ****..needs rockers, cab corners are solid, doors have no rust, surface rust over the wheels on the box but its solid underneath, that will be taken care of with a wire brush this weekend. Other then that, there is no rust on the body..guy in town is gonna do the rockers for 250 and im doing the rest.. bed is like new as it had a topper on it, engine bay is super clean as well

ya it was a hell of a deal..was gonna buy it last year, but the kid wanted too much..came up to me in the bar and said 900, got it for 800..couldnt pass it up

[Nickleahy23]

definatly pumped for the build..been torn between slammed on 20s with a 6.0, or lifted..i have one slammed with a 6.0 already, so im thinking lift it for now, find a 6.0 build it and swap it in this summer..should be a fun cruisin/hunting/whatever truck

You should lift and camo wrap. These look good wrapped and lifted..black 18s on 33s or 35s and the black rollbar in the back.
