good start on the colormatching, but for a sportruck, skip the 20's, go for 18's, different body parts, bumpers, grilles, etc,
imagine 7-8 years later from the original Gold 1999 Silvy SS,
ahh it aint gonna happen.

Well the guy is back with more info on this truck Les i think your rite

When introduced for production this package will offer the 6-speed auto standard, the VortecMAX 6000 as an option along with 4.10 gears, the LTZ interior with leather buckets is being considered.SS hood/roof stripes could also be optional.

The floor shifter will be a no-go.
The hard tonneau was considered via GM Accessories but nixed due to projected shipping complications.

Trying to make this look affordable for young buyers but yet appeal to a higher-end buyer as well by simply checking off a few additional options.
Just mainly wanted to see what you guys thought about the overall look and stance of the basic package from the outside.

Keep it under $30K, paint it silver, and I'll be first in line to order one.

my 5.3 loaded except for 4wheel drive was 28,000.

i second the cool factor of a motor swap. i want my truck built not bought. i want to make it unique. white truck with black stripes. before you know it, ive seen a few on chevy lots. so when a guy does a 6.0L swap, people will be like you should have just bought it that way, they have those already in the VMAX.
