Hey,
I've been lurking here for a couple of years and I think I'm ready to start a built thread. I don't know how well it will be kept up but I will do my best. A little over a month ago I sold my first truck which was a 02 2500hd ecsb, we had been together for 8 years.. I was sad to see it go, but I sold it because I decided to start a build I had been dreaming of since high school, which was a 6.0 swapped 2wd scsb. Now originally the scsb was suppose to be the fun truck, but I ended up picking up a scsb C10 two years ago which has filled the long term "fun truck" project slot. This truck is going to be my daily and I didn't want settle for a single cab daily after having an extended cab for 8 years. So I picked up this guy a month ago and the tinkering has begun. It is a 01 ecsb 2wd ls 1500 with a 5.3/4l60e.
Build plans:
Lq4 swap
4l80e or built 4l60e
HD front
lowered
20" aluminum (non chrome) SS wheels

First things first out with the 5.3



And In with the Lq4. I robbed some parts I acquired over the years off the 2500 before I sold it, headers, intake, ect. Black Bear wrote me a stock 6.0 tune for now while I baby the 4l60e until I figure out what i'm going to do for a trany.

I finished the swap earlier this week and truck is running good with no issues.

I picked up a white HD hood along with HD grill, bumper cap and new bumper to replace the dented one.



Convinced my neighbor to roll his welder over and a couple hours later I had the finished result. Only dropped the bumper and inch and quarter to close the gap. Eventually I would like to have the bar across the grill and bumper color match to the truck. But until then...

Well PST got spoiled for Christmas. It got some new/used OEM SS wheels. I really like how they look on the truck. I also finally got around to installing the new front headlights that had been in the garage for about a month. Now it just needs more low which should be coming soon!
