Default 1983 Silverado SWB - Ground Up Resto-Mod

Too many toys and now I have this diesel habit to support:

1983 Silverado SWB - rolling chassis
Frame Off - Acid washed frame rails - coated with POR 15
New Stainless Steel Brake Corp 4wd Discs, Hard Lines, Braided Flex Line - Front to Rear
New Painless Wiring Harness - complete front to rear
New DJM tubular performance suspension
5" drop in front (DJM lowered control arms & coils)
5" drop in rear (McGaughy's C-Notch rear fram)
GM 8.5" 10 Bolt w/ Detroit Locker, TA Girdle, Timken Bearings, Yukon 4.11 gears (professionally set-up)
Cal-Tracs rear suspension w/ leaf spring flip kit
5x5 Bolt Pattern - Pro Comp Alloy Black wheels available
Brother's Performance 12gal Aluminum fuel cell - flush mount under bed between rear frame rails
-10AN Aluminum & Braided Fuel lines
New Cab & Frame Mounts/Bolts
Smoothed Firewall
Rust Free Sheetmetal - Complete underside of bed has also been POR 15 coated
All Interior is completely new or refurbished from LMC Truck catalog
New power windows, locks, motors, switches, glass, dash pad, AFC sport bucket seats w/console, billet grill insert, head lights, tail lights, and more (I am getting tired of typing)

For sale or trade - I might also consider parting her out in pieces individually but the best price comes from a complete sale

I am in need of a good quality car hauler or nice dove tail trailer w/ramps. Other towing vehicles considered as well. No Junk Please.

(NO MOTOR, TRANS, OR RADIATOR - they are already sold) - Truck is completely assembled, titled, tagged, and has been street driven as of February 2009

PayPal Accepted - More photos available for serious inquiries.

Trust me - if I didn't already have another diesel project then I would be finishing this one out. It is frame up with a lot of time & money in it. It needs a good home.

The 1/2t suspension couldnt handle a 6bt. A twin turbo 4bt pushing 500hp would do nicely though...
