brent1976 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 After having my Colorado for about a year, I decided a small truck isn't for me. I did a few things to it to make it more what I wanted, but it wasn't enough.I have bought lots of parts, and was going to go pretty extreme, but everything I bought besides a wiring harness, will go into the new truck. All the parts that are on my old gray truck I will be swapping to the new one, so it will be cheap and easy. I have already took off the chrome trims, Z71 stickers, fiberglass steps, bug shield, and de-badged it. It needs tint, and lowered bad, but I will wait until I swap the rearends out to do that. 01 GMC Sierra SLE 4wd w/ 53k miles http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s316/brent1976_photos/Mobile%20Uploads/F226CD15-23D9-4F69-8CAB-A410D0E672C1_zps336pv1qw.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Awesome. I was just wondering yesterday how the swap was going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vonrottes Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Ehhh, needs about 100% more whipple seriously though looks like a nice truck, don't know what it is about them but I've always like the step sides over the fleetsides.

Cordell Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Sweet, I'm willing to bet this doesn't take long. With 53k miles it must be in pretty good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brent1976 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 The passenger fender has a small scrape, and it needs shocks. It has zero rust anywhere, and the interior is pretty much spotless. My engine is together and at the shop on an engine stand. The tranny/torque converter are sitting there too. I just spent a bunch on -10 and -8 fuel system fittings. I need a turbo and I'm sure twice as much as I think I need, but it should move along pretty quick. I think this weekend I'm swapping the 14 bolt and all of the brakes and hydro boost. If it goes as smooth as last time I'll probably try to get the stereo moved over too. I stole this picture from the web of how I want it to set when it's lowered http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s316/brent1976_photos/Mobile%20Uploads/CE0B180D-84F7-49A3-9792-CDE9647FC1B7_zpsxvioocz1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
