Hey there, so I have a 2000 Silverado that I have put a Lot of money into. I’m swapping my frame this weekend as I have 3 cracks in my frame. I have already stripped another frame I found with no penetrating rust, it’s being sandblasted and coated this week. I’m going to put a L33 HO with the mated transmission in while I’m doing the swap that I already have as well. My question is, is there anything I should take care of while I already have the body off? I have new body mounts already I’ll be using.
aftermarket parts I already have installed that will be swapping as well

volante dual scoop CAI
1-3/4” BBK long tubes to 3” off-road y
Super 44 muffler with single 3” in, 2.5” dual outs
all new lines (fuel and brakes)
hydroboost
DG244 alternator
gcbm
411 pcm with 12212156 OS
dual batteries
rebuilt rear diff with helical locker
rear discs
Fuel pump
all evap components
efan swap
new abs module
6” lift on 33’s


im kind of tapped out when it comes to pouring money into this, I just want to make sure after my swap I don’t have to do anything big that I may be forgetting about

thanks in advance!

PS THANK you to everyone that gives info in these forums, you guys are godsends! My appreciation knows no ends!

Looks like you've taken care of most things I would have done.

Did you replace the wire loom? The loom on my trucks of this vintage is pretty brittle if you start touching it.

Did you paint the frame?

Depending on the condition of some bolts and things I would recommend getting new hardware for things like the bed and bumper etc. Only if they are in poor condition, don't know if you frame was rusted or not.

I swapped them last year, good call though, I’ll swap any hardware remaining that looks like *****

Also good suggestion above with new wire loom! I’m going to order various loom sizes and replace while swapping

Techflex makes some really nice stuff (looming products and more), not that cheap but awesome. They have a lot of choices too, even different colors for some types
