I've been looking for a new project/toy ever since I finished my 03 Supercharged C5z build and I came across this truck. It's a 2000 Silverado 5.3 Stepside. It has 280,xxx miles and the body is in great shape. While talking to the seller he stated the truck needs a new power streering pump as it whines a little and shocks to hold the bed cover up need replaced. I talked him down to $2300, he was asking $2600. Is this a fair price? What are somethings I need to look/need to know for while looking at the truck?

If I get the truck I plan on tinting the windows, lowering, Cam,headers, Bogarts and leather seats to start off. Any thing else I should add?
Here are a few pics

 

If you don't buy it, I will at that price. The bed looks to be in very good condition. How does the transmission shift? With those miles, that would be one of the main items I would be checking and budgeting for.

 

Seller stated that the motor and trans are good. I will not know until Monday when I go look and drive it. If everything checks out it will be in my drive way monday night.

 

I think 2600 is a great price! what GM power steering pump doesn't whine a little? If the engine has been maintained, then it's still should be running fine. Tranny is always hit and miss. Doesn't look like any body rust from the pictures - make sure to check those rocker panels and rear wheel wells. Also check bottom of doors, specifically on the inside.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

the economy totally dead in that area or what? that truck in other areas would be double that easily. jump on it
