Default 03-07 silverado q?

I'm looking into maybe getting a 03-07 Silverado (ninja style i've heard theyre called)

Did GM make the single cab with std or short bed WITH a V8?

Plans for vehicle: lower, wheels, Supercharge or STS turbo.

never heard of the ninja style....

yea they made plenty of rcsb( regular cab short bed) v8 trucks

be careful though once you start modding is gets addictive but you probably already know this from the z28...

the 05 and up got drum brakes in the rear instead of discs but they also got electric fans stock

if you want an rcsb get the 5.3 is you get a ecsb( extended cab short bed) get a 6.0

i can't find any on ebay.... Except Z71 models. How easy is it to remove the Z71 stuff?

I am specifically looking for the gray metallic color.

engine choice, i'd be fine with the 4.8 or the 5.3. Forced induction will make me happy.

I've got an 07 reg cab short bed, 4.8L, 2wd, lowered on 20's. Cost me about 16,500 new 3 months ago. Chek your dealer's lot. With the new body style out, they've probably got better deals than I got

get one with the 4.8L in it, then swap in a 6.0L. then do forced induction. you'll be very happy after that.

they had one just like that, but with 22"s, lowered, dual exhaust, billet gril, 4.8L.

They were asking 33k.

Yes, GM made 2003+ RCSB (Regular Cab Short Bed) trucks with V8's in them. You could only get the 4.8 or 5.3 engine. Both engines have great potential. Search this website to learn about great power combos. I've never heard of '03-'07 Silverados being referred to the "ninja" style. I guess the headlight design has something to do with that name.
