As our old one is literally falling apart. Decided to keep our eye out fora New regular cab.
Body is straight as hell with new cab corners and rockers, box needs minor attention, entire front end is brand new, 3/4 ton leafs, decent shape 33s, floor shift 4x4 <3 omg. down side is its a v6, I have 2 complete donor trucks in my yard, a 99 4.8 and 99 5.3.

For the grand price of 1500 bucks. 2000 Sierra

Pretty sure the rear main seal is gone in this thing, why the guys didn't want it. They wanted 3 grand for it I sent an email over a week ago offering 1500, they got back to me yesterday and tlook it.

All to replace yhis old beast. Yea, we kinda stopped caring after awhile I couldn't keep up with the truck. Never left us stranded with all our camping and fishing for 2 years solid.








Next step is to pull the 5.3 then gather all the info and other stuff I'll need for the swap.

It looks to me like the old truck is 3/4 ton 6 lug and the new one is a 1/2 ton 5 lug.

Both 6 lug.

the old one has 305/70s on 16s. Just regular half ton ls

New one got 285/75/16 , this one also got 3/4 ton springs and stiff suspension. once I'm settled with it being road worthy im defiantly putting softer shocks in like top of the list, it rides like hell. Way to light and way to stiff

They used the truck for a box camper. 2 out of the 3 brothers got severely disabled in the past 3 years, buddy lost his mechanics license and everything. So at first they kept doing what they did and got it sserviced at a local shop. But I guess going out as much as they wanted got too hard. So they started cleaning the yard
