Still working on it. I will do some detailed pics of the steering knuckle once I get the other side off to compair.

Other than that. The calipers are CTS-v fronts, and the rotors are C-6 Vette Z-51's.

I'd like to add that I still need some parts. List below.
Need Corvette A/C compressor and braket. With bolts if can.
Need a 2000 + F-body engine harness for an A-4 trans. Would like to have no EGR. But will deal with it if I can get a harness soon. No AIR system.
If close enough, would like to buy a low mile 4L60E trans from an LS equiped car or truck.
Need a Corvette front belt drive system with balancer pully, alternator, power steering pump, idler and tensioner pullies, brakets and bolts. (might buy brand new if I have to)
I also am looking for a complete charcole grey interior swap. And a body harness from an all power extended cab 2 wd truck.

Black case. Going with the newer unit and converting the BCM over to a 2002 unit. Swapping power everything into it.

The body harness is out of another truck with the correct BCM. But the engine harness is still up in the air. I may just bite the bullet and buy one. I think in the end, it will just be money well spent.

I have. Just been taking my sweet *** time. LOL. Most of my spare cash has been going to fund a new home. So the build is taking slower than ever now. But I have been working on the frame, and getting all the ZQ-8 parts. The motor is almost done now too. A few body parts have been taken care of like the bed and doors. I've gotten the body control harness and module to convert to power everything. It's getting there.
