Very nice. It's already time for new tires.

how much did the pro charger cost? and how much hp did you gain? my dad has a vortec 383 at 375hp after programer headers k&n hes hopping for 450hp atleast

[gumbys10]

Procharger was about $5600 with taxes and shipping. The kit says 430hp, before headers exhaust and injectors. I have not dynoed it yet so I have no idea what it is actually making, could be less could be more,who knows.

[wwj75c30]

your motors stock other then that? and you can get after market injectorsfor these trucks?

I love this build...looking for a "grandpa truck" myself...there are plenty of them out there. I found a 98 extended cab in the same color with 90K miles for a song...needs a couple of things. I've also found a white one with the camper, running boards and rain guards with 2,000 mile oil changes and 10,000 transmission flushes documented.

You can get a upgraded cfi from Westers garage, or you can get the gm injector upgrade which changes the cfi to injectors, then you can just up grade injectors like all current setups,but that route is expensive.

That sounds like a good grandpa truck, although you already have some really nice rides and another in the works it appears

[wwj75c30]

yea my dads just lookin for some more hp out of his 97 k1500 its a sleeper

[LEEVON]

These are the ones I have my eye on, depending on when my current DD sells. Hope you don't mind I want to clone yours!

[gumbys10]

Those are some nice trucks to start with. I almost wish mine was a half ton to start with, would have had more funds for heads and a cam lol.

[LEEVON]

Ended up striking a deal on the red one, it's a 99 with 140k miles and a real creampuff. I was just showing the wife your truck, she is on board with the look and the Eagle 225's. What are your wheel and tire specs?

[gumbys10]

I'll look them up but you'll want a lttle more backspacing to clear the fenders better.

Thanks. Are you at 5/7 drop or lower?

It was supposed to be 5/7 but starting with a 2500 was more like a 7/10 drop.

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. How's you truck, last I heard you were having problems with sgi for your shortened frame. How did you make out.
Next time your in town, give me a shout. I am just about to start a major rebuild on my 72 suburban with air ride and lsx.

I'm sure that would go over well. So who is this, should I know? Post a pick of your truck to help my memory lol.

[gumbys10]

Think I`ll post this as I do not think I have before and it might be usefull as I get alot of questions lol.Front is 20x8.5 with a 4.5 inch backspacing. rear is 20x10 with 5.5 backspacing. If your going as low as me I would recommend a 4 and 3/4 inch backspacing in the front and a 5 and 3/4 inch backspacing in the rear. Tires are 255/35/20 front,315/35/20 rear
