New load carrier shocks, the old ones were tore up, could compress them by hand, and i want the rear axle to be as stable as possible.

Nice! What brand and model did you go with? Seems like the coil overs are becoming more appealing

Gabriel, They appear to be the exact same as the ACDelco ones but 15 dollars cheaper on rockauto.

New injectors are in, outside of the mild heartattack induced by leaving the vacuum brake booster unhooked after reassembly (tach spiked 3000 at startup), after fixing that though, its mint. i can put a glass of beer on the intake manifold and it wont even foam, i may do exactly that actually , if i had not forgotten to get paper towels i would have cleaned the manifold too, i just didnt want to shove Gumout down its throat, a bit too early for an oil change (about 2,800 miles too early)

Fixed the Blower motor, thanks to DonL for the suggestion of just soaking the **** out of it with WD/40, whole cab smells like citrus after the fact, and thats a good thing! ,Since im a Refrigeration Technician i just need to bring a vacuum pump home so i can put a charge back on the system, then plug the compressor back in.

Definitely going to retrofit NBS Silverado Hinges, as they seem to be slightly more compact, can always add spacers, but cant take material off.
one of these days, i'll have the time and money to finish this project
one of these days...
