its a 96 Nissan PU. I SAS'd it in '11 and decided to give it some power and more room.

Looks like a well done rig! Should be a lot of fun with a lot more power. Where's the fuel tanks mounted?

I have the original 14 gal on the passenger side then added the 20.4 gal pathfinder tank in the rear where the spare tire carrier was. I used 2dr pathfinder rear 1/4s and added the truck filler door to the pass. side.

king cab had to be notched to fit with the stock tank...

I would have left an access in the cover in the cab so you can change the fuel pump if needed without dropping the tank.

thought of that, but the sender assm is even with the back of the cab. with the lift the tank really isn't that hard to access and drop... even when its full of fuel.

thanks all, essentially yes, 2003 Tahoe 5.3L/4L60E both rebuilt sold the NP246. engine has a mild torque cam, trans has 4L70E 5 gear planetaries added to it and the NP241C is out of a IIRC 94 Suburban rebuilt with SYE. axles I went through in '11 when I did the SAS they have about 6000 miles on them. 5.13s with ARBs and chromoly axles. and yes I built everything except the trans. I don't do auto trans... only because I don't have the tools.
