Info: I saved this truck from a life of hauling wood and abuse at the sawmill I worked at. I’ve had the truck for six years and just started on it. So far I’ve put on some chrome, added the toolbox and bed rails, and replaced the exhaust with a Flowmaster 40 series muffler and 3" chrome tips. I’ve also put a set of 32x11.50 Mud King XT’s on 15x10-inch Eagle Alloy wheels. I did a few mod’s on the interior, such as replacing the bench seat with a pair of bucket seats, a Pioneer stereo with two 10-inch subs and a 500 watt amp. It’s still running on the original 4.3L V-6 with 177,000 miles. Nothing runs like a Vortec.
Still to Come: Next on my long list of things to do is a 6” Rough Country suspension lift, a set of 35x12.50 BFG Mud Terrains, a Brush Guard and a Line X bed liner. After that, if I’m not broke and my wife lets me, I want to replace the V-6 with a 350 and shove some 4.10:1 gears in the front and rear. I might need the power on those great Alaskan trails I plan on hitting this year.
