My wife was giving me grief the other day that I've had this pickup for over a year, "shouldn't you be looking for another one?". I have a bad habit of buying and selling at a profit, especially when I get bored with a vehicle. Well, at this point, I'm in this pickup pretty deep, enough that it would take the right particular buyer to pay my asking price...just to come out even.

I'd been eyeing GMT800 1500HD's but have come to the conclusion that I still don't like the interiors in those pickups. I don't pull a trailer often enough to need the heavier 3/4t parts ALL the time, and the 6.0l may have 360ft/lbs of torque, but it does it at 4000 rpm, not like the 2800rpm @ 330 for the L31.

I'm in the process of building a new 36x40x14 shop. When it is done, we are going to build this pickup into something I won't be able to get rid of. 14b sf axle, air helper springs, 4L65E or 4L80E, worked over SBC with true multiport injection(TPI, ProFlo, RamJet, etc). Why spend $4-5k on a pickup that I have to start over on, I'll just build the one I have! This will give me a few months to plan and budget. I wanted this pickup when I graduated high school, why not keep it now and put one in the win column, haha.

I'll still be doing the interior and exterior upgrades planned, and I'll build the drive train up and install in one big shot.
