Picked up some new tires







LH8 oil pan for the V8



Painted behind my grill







I'll have a few other items coming when I get back from Israel

One thing I need to fix when I get back is my exhaust

Go on with it.. Throw a nice cam in that 5.3 and some headers.. (idk if they make them for the colorados or not) but since they offer that engine in that truck id say they do..

Should be alot of fun..

Really nice truck, like were your going with the project. Yeah, exhaust looks like typical Ohio exhaust after a few winters.

Nice setup I can't wait until the 5.3 finds its way under the hood. Have you tried laying a red bowtie in the center of the grill to see how it looks? Might come out pretty sweet, unless you like it debadged like that. I love the SSS wheels on your dropped Colorado, that turned out perfect. Good luck with the build, stay safe in Israel, and don't forget to keep us posted.
