Hey Patrick, that USMC lettering on the tailgate is Outs-freakin-tanding! I've got a new truck on order and was thinking of stealing your idea but with USAF - hope you don't mind.

Naw bro, by all means go for it & shoot me some pics when its done! I almost put a TX on the other side but felt it would be to cluttered so I didn't. I had the dealership do it with the lettering from all they're models of vehicles & paint it to match the front Bow Tie bit I think it will eventually all end up BLACK. What color Truck & lettering are you gonna do. I'd say do the Letters WHITE for Air Force . Anyways I'm sure it will look killer.

[QUOTE=USMC45;4659959]Yes, I love the 6speed in the RC! The 4speed in my old CC just doesn't compare. A 6.2 & 6speed in a RC from the factory, JUMP ON THAT!!!!!





Definitely nice truck

Also when did the RC 6.2 come out??? i cant wait to get a ride in one of those......also does ne1 have a price range on one of these 6.2s im pretty sure now a lot of us will be looking into them

10-4! My truck is going to be Sheer Silver Metallic - and I'm saying "going to be" because it's scheduled to build next week. If I can find the right letters to do the USAF thing I'm thinking dark blue (also called Air Force Blue). I've got a few other ideas too, and I'll definitely post some pix.

Hmmm ... come to think of it the front bow tie would look nice in dark blue to match the lettering. Thanks for the ideas!

Called Champion Chevrolet this morning. $4,500 for a new LY6. What do yall think. I could almost get Flacos Turbo kit for that. I dunno about the 6.0 anymore, didn't realize how much a new one ran. I guess maybe I might stick with the 5.3 for now & mod it out. I dunno, still haven't decided, what yall think?

I'm not sure that its out YET? Three6GMC mentioned something about it earlier in the thread. He's down in Corpus Christi & he said something about they were gonna be selling them down there in the Valley. Not sure on any details, maybe he knows more.

Interested because in the valley you can order a single cab 6 speed with the 6.2 (YES A 6.2) and I am really tempted at going down there and trading in my 09 and ordering me one.

$20 says you cant order a 6.2 in a reg cab 1/2 ton from the factory
