I will check this kit out. I won't be making any changes until she becomes my weekend car and competition with the 65 Malibu SS.
Here are some updated pics of where it's at now.
I just got the exhaust done yesterday, I went from duals to a single out the drivers side (more torque and helps keeps the heat away from the transfer case). I bought the 3rd row seat brackets off ebay from (custom manufacturing) they are made extremely well and are the "universal" option that are a little taller for trucks like ours that don't have the Tahoe divets in the floor. I reinforced the brackets using large steel plates underneath and grade 8 bolts and lock nuts. The instructions they came with were excellent as well. The seats have room to be adjusted/centered between the wheels, I just put them in to check it out real quick. New steering stabilizer, Rancho RS5000 to match the shocks, found one brand new in an opened box on ebay for $2.31, $15 total with shipping. The front seat brackets are coming back tomorrow from 29od1 and I will be installing those tomorrow. Saturday I am taking it to have the cage installation completed... cant wait then I can start driving here around
