They come out real easy if you don't plan on saving much of the donor truck. Sawzall to the core support and out she came.View attachment 312200

There ain’t much left to save. I did want to keep the radiator and a bunch of the little
Parts. I planned on taking the fenders off.

Curious as to what an Icecream LS is...

And how do you swap it?




I'll be here all week.

Unfortunately.

My donor wasn't much better. Paid $400 for it running and driving. Sold some parts on Facebook and Craigslist. There were still plenty of good parts left when I got rid of it but no one wanted it. I didn't want to sit on it forever so I sent it to the scrap yard.

I did save the radiator, expansion tank, cooling fans, all the under hood engine wiring and some of the chassis side. Pretty much anything I'd need to get it running exactly as it was in the 05.

That’s my plan as well. I bought it for 500, but a lot of parts have been robbed already. I hope to sell some parts help pay for the fuel system and or efi live.

Wife snuck in and took my picture. That fanny pack had a portable pump and chemo drugs and iv is hooked to the port on my chest. I like working on these newer trucks. Every bolt is either 10 or 13 mm lol

 

[MTBLAZER89]

Keep it up!!

 

[AJMBLAZER]

I always had you pegged as a fanny pack guy.

Socks and sandals too?

 

[muddybuddy]

Ive got those same nikes. Pretty comfortable.

K5 is going be sweeter than it already is! Keep it up!

 

[nvrenuf]

Any excuse for a fanny pack!

I'm confused. What kind of wrench system uses "mm"?

Thanks dude trying to stay busy. I just can’t sit around. I have already done the little house projects/ organizations my wife wanted, so time to start just labeling and taking out unwanted stuff.

Man I’m excited for you and this Ls swap!!!

Keep showing the cancer who's boss Jesse!

So my over winter/spring goals is to do LS swap which should be fairly straight forward. When I do that I'll get doors and the hood on. Still need to go pay @76zimmer and piick the doors up, if he pulled them yet. lol
