LSSV: 2005 Chevy, 2500, 4X4, 6.6L Duramax Turbo Diesel Engine, Allison Transmission.

Location: Portsmouth, VA.

Road trip will be about 2,000 miles. My time is short on getting this truck because I fly out on the 26th for a two weeks of training at Camp Atterbury, IN. Just hope I can get off work to make the trip.

The truck will need some work...Fuel tank(missing), Drive shaft(bent), Drivers door repaired, Tailgate and ???????

More later.

A set of 1/2" spacers on the front and the HMMWV rims fit fine. That is what M1075 is running on his.

Glad to see it is going to a good home and a pro with the LSSV trucks. I was watching that one and hoped it woudl go to a SS member.

It will take allot of work, but I recall seeing a LSSV go for like 20K on GL that was drivable with only a few issues. So there is allot of play room on that rig.

Wow, swapping a 250 for the Duramax. I want to see pictures...... ;-)

Best of luck on the wife not finding out just yet. I know my wife knows what I'm doing before I've done it.

I have a set of HMMWV rims with new 37" tires. I would just have to get 33" tires and spacers.

I was serching the web for the correct rim for this 2005, LSSV. It's made by Hutchinson and is a 16" x 8" beadlock rim. The Border Patrol chevy trucks were using the same setup. If anyone has a lead on a set let me know.
I think the GM part number for the rim is: GM9595950

I have a set of new 1/2" spacers I bought for a test on the CUCV-II (they won't work). I can send then to you.

Warthog, hold on to them for now, When I get the truck home I'll see what I'm going to do as far as wheels.

Ferro is doing the pick-up on this Friday for me. Adam is a great guy for doing this any other members in the VA area that can give him a hand let him know. Ferro will be taking the truck to his place in SC and I will pick it up in AUG.

Oh, and does it have a key so I can unlock the steering so I can get it on the trailer? unless you want me to ask them to forklift load it... :twisted:
