i agree with neil 6.0 that was a mexican truck you saw the 1500 over there is v6 the 2500 is the one with v8 and they call them cheyene instead of silverado. and their top speed is way higher than the ones in us. the 2500 has the 5.3 no 4.8 . all 5.3s over in mexico seem to go way faster they always burn me in top speed.

 

the mexico website shows the silverado 2500 comes with a 4.8 or a 5.3 and the 1500 is a v6.

 

Thanks guys for the input. I now remember it having painted front and rear bumpers....just like the 400SS trucks I see rollin' around. Interesting how the numbers have no bearing on the chassis configuration. So what the hell is a real 3/4 ton called.....a 35,000? J/K

It DID have 6 lug wheels...so I think that proves its not a real 2500.

I once saw a Mexican Ford truck that was an F-200! I've seen old F-100's but never a newer F-200.
