[Old 62]

I am not really the right person to post on this but it has taken 22 years to get to where I am with my truck. Buying tools and learning as I go. I did a 4.8 swap. Took about 10 months of spare time. I learned a lot and have done all the work in a 2 car garage with an understanding wife that her car might have to sit out side from time to time. It cost me about $5500.00 in parts. There was some mistakes along the way that cost me. The first engine and transmission I bought on the cheap basically core prices where both junk and missing pieces. Looking back I wish I would have saved for a full running truck I could have stripped it of parts but on the other hand I did not have room to store it. I you decide to do it your self this site and google will be vary good tools. Good luck. It will be fun to drive if you do go this way.
