    Project Casper

    This is my 2010 Crewcab, Wife named this truck when we first got it. Its has served a few purposes over the years.
    Truck started off as your average daily driver and as youll see in pics transformed, for about 18 months truck was a heads cam Procharged 5.3 on 12 psi...I made 540/545 to wheels.. Blower was over spun and It was loosing boost in higher rpms. The headunit was a P1sc with a 3.2 pulley, compression combo was around 10.2....combo ran 12.5@113 stock converter with stock 342 gears

    It was a fun combo and enjoyed it but the procharger ended up eating itself from being overspun and towing, this go around I chose the route of my roots which is turbo.

    So sit back and enjoy the build

    heres a few pics of how truck currently looks






    truck for suspension is 3" worth of lift up front, firestone airbags out back, 3/4 ton leaf springs, GMT800 lift blocks, rides on GM accessory wheels 20x9 with 35x12x20 rubber

    Last winter I broke my 2nd 10 bolt so i ditched that setup and went with a GM 14 bolt,Tru-trac, tossed in 488s and used a TA girdle




    Not shown but truck now has big brakes, it has 14" front rotors with EBC towing pads on front and I swapped to disks on the rear with Silverado SS calipers from Cocaine. It also has 14" rotors


    Since im about trying to keep things clean I chose to install my Meth controller in a little pocket in my dash, since this pic was taken the knob is now black



    heres what I tow around, its a Lark 26' + Vnose enclosed trailer
