Honestly if its going to be a daily driver and utility vehicle then stay away from heavy mods on the truck as it will only cost you more in the long run. I love hot rod trucks (Parish's comes to mind) and there are plenty of fast trucks on this sight and on the performance truck site, but I think you would be better off maybe finding a beater truck and keeping your ls1 if you need the speed. If you want a newer truck most of the 6.0's and even the 5.3/4.8's have decent power stock so maybe just look at full exhaust and intake. Id just look to keep it as reliable as possible but thats JMO.

 

trade you my 1999 2 door tahoe 4x4

 

Keep the Z!!

 

i agree 100 % . i have an 02 Z71 Ext. Cab ( no beater at all ) bone stock ( k&n filter ) and i love it . great ride and for the most part my daily driver . if you can keep your Z ,then keep it . once you get rid of something like that , for some reason ,you won't feel the same . unless you totaled it in a wreck or something. and plus you would probably be happier to have both. i know i am .

 

yea i'd love to have both but as i'm a starving college student try'n to make house payment, car payment, and run a shop money is tight to say the least. and yea if i do find the right truck it will stay mostly stock with exception of exhoust and intake probly. and i'll only lower the truck maybe 2-4 tops with helper airbags in the rear for towing.

 

get a second job?

 

they dont make 3/4 ton trucks in rcsb, only 1/2 tons, so the biggest motor available is the 5.3L maybe you can find someone thats done the swap already but other than that its gonna be a rclb.

again, you will regret selling it so if theres anyway you can afford both, do it! especially now that the truck market is hell and you cant hardly give them away. if you look around you will find quite a few people that have them and never use them and are looking to get rid of it quick to save money on gas
