Up for sale is my 99 Silverado RCLB Propane turbo 5.3, the worlds first propane turbo originally LS powered vehicle as far as I can tell. I blew it up at the track after hot lapping it, that was 18 months ago and it has finally set in that playing with this truck is just not a priority for me right now. Instead of letting it rot I've decided to sell it, if I want another one I'll just build another one. Family time is a priority for me right now though, these kids are only this young once and I don't want to miss it.

So you could either swap out the blown $400 long block on this old grandpa truck and make Camaros look foolish, -or- call this a "turbo kit" for your truck with complete fuel system, pcm, built 4l80e/3500 stall, rebuilt 10 bolt/disc brakes and 2 sets of wheels and tires, and part the rest of this truck out (which is what I'm going to do in a couple weeks if I get no takers).

The front clip, doors and tailgate are excellent/near mint, box is poor and cab is fair.

Some random spare parts


Most of the parts have less than 1000 miles on them, I only put ~7000 miles on this truck since I got it.

Located in Mukwonago WI, 53149

$7000 Firm as-is, I'll part it for 10k if I don't get any takers.

 

I would love to have this truck, but Propane is so stupid expensive here... :o/

 

If I do part it out you should buy the fuel system and tune. I'm pretty sure you know where to get everything else! Prices took a hike, this winter was ridiculous, we were practically on a rationing system it got so scarce. Last tank for my home use was back to normal pricing now at least.

 

Automatic "most interesting person" at the racetrack status...

5000 if you don't want the slicks/forklift tanks/efi live/weight box.

I can sell those separately no problem. Tune files are included.

Will probably start parting out in a couple weeks if nobody jumps on it.

 

Parting out, contact me if you see anything you need and I will give you a price. Working on disassembly and making ads in the classifieds.
